Come on, it wouldn't be that bad. His finisher would be the bow and arrow, he would steal titles (rob from the rich) and hand them to people that deserve them (give to the poor)...

I'm just dying for the day that a wrestler makes it big from Nottingham...

I can see the lame Robin Hood-esque gimmick now...

Well they say Regal's from Blackpool when really he's from near me in Codsall in the West Midlands. My step-dad used to live in the same neighbourhood as his family. My claim to fame that

sweet dude, you were there?
how old are you?

Went to Summerslam 92 took me ages to get in and out hopefully the new Wembley will have better access should the WWE ever decide to return - knowing Vince's business sense no. If Benoit had HHH influence he'd have been the WWE champion 20 times over in half the time and will be around for longer than "a bit" rather than HHH who would have been shot by now if he wasn't screwing Stephanie McMahon. Bulldog was from Leeds although he seemed to have hailed from everywhere in the UK before his untimely death, should he not have died so young he'd be the only person to hail from every single city in the world.

that's because the theory is that the crowd will be more behind a face that is from the USA, and more against a heel that isn't.

also, can i ask for a time period you consider to be acceptable if Benoit is only staying "for a bit"? please :D

maybe he moved? ;)

Summerslam 92 - Wembley Stadium.

Why do "foreign" wrestlers always seem to be a big hit then vanish? Razor Ramon, Ludvig Borga, Yokozuna etc (Ok they are American but have foreign characters) . Even foreign (ie non American) wrestlers who stay for a bit have their home cities changed constantly - Benoit is from Canada (Edmonton I think) but now he's "Residing in Atlanta, Georgia" and the British Bulldog hailed from Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester to name a few English cities.

Japanese wrestlers also "hail from Japan". Makes a mockery of Vince bringing the WWE over here to make more money because his American audience is dying fast (not that I'm complaining, I don't think it's long before a major PPV such as Summerslam or Survivour Series is held in the UK before long)

I think Conway had a hat the other week actually.

cena = stone cold 2.. but not as cool.
carlito = razor ramon 2.. but cooler :D
