Speaking of "connecting with the fans".

"Those robot ninjas in the Cruiserweight Classic credit sequence did this, and people liked the Cruiserweight Classic! If I pose like them, they'll stop booing me!"

So I've been watching some ECW PPVs the last week or so and this Mike Awesome dude is fucking awesome, no pun intended. Especially the matches against Masato Tanaka. Why was he not bigger? I think I remember seeing him in WCW but he left zero impression on me.

Because that is his peak (from what I've seen, I'm sure he's the greatest of all time in Japan or something, Data West). He's still a very impressive guy... well, athletically... he just never blossoms into an interesting personality.

So, uh, XCOM 2. I see I can just create a pool of characters before even playing the actual game. I'll be doing that. Probably add all of you and send you on impossible missions. But what I'm asking here is:

Do I have to select custom nicknames now? Will the game not give you nicknames as you play? Didn't the last game?

Also, any reason to add a biography for characters, or is that just for super nerds?

You might survive one brutal gimmick. But two?
 
Sina's going on strong and he's had at least 3 gimmick characters

As far as I know, no Little Jimmies turned on him. And there was some bite to Doctor of Thuganomics John Cena.

A "fat chick" turned on Awesome during his Fat Chick Thrilla stage to join Team Canada.

Other than a punchline, what does being the Fat Chick Thrilla who couldn't even thrill said Fat Chick enough to prevent her from turning on him or being That '70s Guy get a guy like Awesome?

Little Jimmies turned on Sina. "Sina sucks?"

Are the Lapsed Fan impressions/voices widely considered a positive or a negative?

they've enhanced my enjoyment of wrestling in a way I wasn't sure possible

every time I see bulldog in a match now, all I imagine is him whispering into the other dude's ear "I... just smoked crack. i'm fooked."

Listen to the latest episode of the Wrestling observe podcast and Dave bring a good point. Why is Nxt terrible at making good in ring workers, especially when compared to the young lion system?
I mean Jay white was hired around the same time as Dana , Corbin. Etc but he is so much better than them.

They train bodybuilding cross fit athletes that can read scripts and cut promos in a class.

New Japan trains wrestlers who know enough about shooting to use that to make it real.
