Just started Raw and they've changed War Machine to War Raiders to Viking Experience? What the hell? I was okay with the change to War Raiders as it sounds bad ass and isn't much of a change but damn that is just plain awful. Eric and Evar?

If they needed to put viking into the name War Vikings would have done the job.

SCG Radio made the joke that they would become The Highlanders. I think this is worse.

It is funny to see that while the IWC melts down, most wrestlers on Twitter are like "meh, it's a shit name, but it's just a name"

In a few weeks, it will be changed again or they won't be used.

Maybe they didn't want Rowe to be confused with Rowan, so they gave him the first name they took away from Rowan.

Layers and layers of brilliance in this one.

The Rowe name change is the only part of this that made sense.

I stand by them becoming the Berzerker Experience in a few weeks.

"And that's the bottom line cuz Chilly McFreeze said so!"

Mick Foley said the Warlord is taking bookings as the Vikinglord, and old episodes of Raw on the network are now called Raw is Viking lol

I was trying to make a reference to John Nord. Who started his WWF run as the Viking before being renamed the Berserker.

Wrestlers in the business today need to be deprogrammed.

No, I got you. I was just following it up with a “typical WWE trojection” reference.

Wonder how much the Road Warriors would have gotten over as The Face Paint Fuckboys.

I mean... It’s just a name.

Fair enough, then they'll get released because they can't find Techno Viking.

Matt Bloom is still around if they need “The Vike-Train” to bring the comedy to another level.

WWE is gonna sign Nick Dinsmore to team with them, "The Viko-Dins" is comedy that writes itself :shifty:

Their love for you is like a truck...

Let's not get carried away.

Easy to say with a boatload of cash and you don't care because of said boatload of cash. That's really nice for the "just happy to be here" crowd that goes along with traveling everywhere but not being used and going along with every dumbass storyline or gimmick presented. But let's be serious: if Austin had taken that stance on goddamn "Fang McFrost", he would not be remembered as fondly, because that sucked ass and would have torpedoed his career.

This is one of those things that don't seem like much, but can actually have a major impact on your career trajectory, same as how someone's gear looks on them or entrance music.

Lol, I checked out the Wikipedia roster page. The photos usually included to feature champions has been edited to have The VE included.
