John wasn't to far off with blackheart. Ciampa was also referred to as blackheart when turned on Gargano.

That's the only one I missed cause I'm a dummy not realizing it was Hart not Heart. I even remembered Lash LeRoux cause he was also Corporal Cajun in the MIA.

Yeah guessing they don't see he spelling I'd probably say he shuold've got the point even

I think if they saw the way it was spelled, they would have gotten it right away. People watching actually had an advantage on that one.

You guys shocked me with the Big Evil question. Big Evil was his heel version of the American Bad Ass persona.

[@RinJackson]

Also used it as a face

[@AdamTyree]

Big evil red devil, as JBL would call him

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@RinJackson No. He didn't. Big Evil was strictly in 2003 as a heel before he reverted back to being babyface for his feud against Vince that led to the Buried Alive Match that Kane cost him, which fed into the WM20 2004 return of The Deadman. In 2000, it was the American Bad Ass when he used the Kid Rock song of the same name. In 2001-2002 when he began using Limp Bizkit's Rollin', it was Deadman Inc., although Jim Ross also kept trying to get the nickname Booger Red over during his feud against Ric Flair, since when he was the biker, Taker had, at least initially, let his natural ginger hair color show rather than dye it black or brown. Then, he turned heel in 2003 & became Big Evil. When he turned face again, he had dropped the Big Evil moniker, since he was going to retire the biker gimmick & revert back to the Deadman at WM20 in 2004 & for much of the remainder of his career, sans the Boneyard Match at WM36, which was his last match before retiring.

[@ivenstorm]

The show was called "Beast in the East" and it was Brock Lesnar wrestling in Japan, and most the most notable note from that show is that they used that show on Tough Enough to show that Velveteen Dream/Patrick Clarke was the only one to stay up and watch it.

[@fazzle1]

Pretty sure the most notable thing from that show is Finn Balor winning the NXT title, not some segment from Tough Enough. Lol

[@ivenstorm]

​@@fazzle1 I'm not saying Finn winning the title wasn't a big moment, it was, but I'm looking at it from the perspective of "What moment was used from that show over and over" for months to come. Finn winning the title was a big moment. But that one clip from Tough Enough was replayed on Raw/Smackdown, as well as commercials for the show for months afterwards. All because WWE at the time was heavily promoting Tough Enough. NXT was HHHs baby. Unless you watched NXT weekly, you'd never hear about it on the main shows.

[@Secretasiandan1]

I am gobsmacked you guys didn't know Bret Hart's 'Excellence of Execution'. Good pull on Dean Malenko 'Man of a Thousand Holds' though.

Owen Hart was "The Black Hart", since he had the nickname when he was still part of the Nation of Domination black militant faction as the only Caucasian/white guy in the group.

[@bayleyaustin2202]

Big Evil was Undertaker’s gimmick in the early 2000s. It’s TECHNICALLY just the American Badass still, but it was during his heel run where he cut his hair short. It was still the American Badass but he’d do super evil and sadistic things and showed signs of the old undead Undertaker still. He chained Hogan to his chopper and drug him around the arena, he’d beat people to a bloody pulp for fun, go after people’s families in feuds (like with Ric Flair he attacked his son to get get to Ric), and just be overall sadistic. He also had some killer matches during that run with Lesnar, Angle, Rock, etc
