In regards to Brian Christopher, I have always wondered why they didn't instead announce him as Grandmaster Sexay, because that's how the fans KNEW him. I have no doubt most wwe fans had no idea who Brian Christopher even was, so it's no wonder he didn't get any reaction! Had they done so, I still don't think it would have been an earth shattering reaction, but surely it would have been better than what actually happened. Look at it this way- If Finn Balor was away for a few years from now, and then he came back announced as ,"THE ONE THE ONLY-FERGAL DEVETT!!!!!!!!!" I doubt he would get a pop either.

Oh jeez, did not know he was the son of the legendary king Lawler! They never interacted during the attitude Era. Honestly I don't know his real name, but I think if they mentioned his ring name, grand Master 2 sexay then I'm sure the crowd would've been a bit more lively. Surprised they didn't do a tribute to him on wwe, his passing just swept by, he was one of my favorite wrestlers during attitude Era too, along with Scotty and Rikishi. Rip

They become bigger than the WWE brand. Both things seems likely to be true and Ryback actually is the one who said the WWE is purposely keeping stars down and that he heard that from HHH who has been a shotty executive imo.

@robertlogan53543 жыл бұрын
Yep. The problem was the core of it fell apart too fast, between hulk turning back to face, hall's personal prpblems affecting his work... and the lack of shock value. When the nwo showed up in wcw, they were the shot needed... edgy, antiauthority, powerful. But, imo, they did get stale after a while, especially when they got too big in numbers. To me, the point where they turned was when they added bagwell, of whom i was never a fan anyways. Hogan, hall, nash, the giant, and syxx are truly the core, real nwo. Associating others like nick patrick and bischoff was ok, but fake sting was a bit of a cartoony introduction... or rather, having a guy play him who has had an otherwise entirely unmemorable career, considering all the others to that point were known to crowds in one incarnation or another. My favorite part of it, really, is that behind the curtain, the kliq was pulling a lot of strings, in both of the major promotions.

WWE fans have terrible memories. I remember Regal's return like 1 year later, and half the people I was watching the show with didn't know who he was. Stasiak's return was even worse, as I feel like no one else I knew had even heard of him before, despite him being in WWE just a couple years earlier. Even when I reminded them that he was "Meat" the reaction was more or less "Who's Meat?" Of course, William Regal went by Stephen Regal, Stasiak went by Meat, and Brian Christopher was known as Grandmaster Sexay, so perhaps people are better with names/gimmicks than their faces?
