The Houston Chronicle has a new article online looking at the usage of roman numerals in sports. The article highlights tonight’s Super Bowl and WWE going back and forth on using roman numerals for WrestleMania. The paper wrote: "WWE's Wrestlemania is 23 going on XXIV in its strange back-and-forth branding, and their fans wouldn't know what a XXIV was if one hit them in the face with a spinning heel kick from the top rope." Thoughts?

Stupid wrestling fan stereotype hits again.

Personally, I loved how even the WWE thought we were too stupid to figure out XVII and XVIII so helped us out by making it X7 and X8 respectively.

It'd be a great way to continue his "angry blogger" gimmick.

Also, most wrestling fans wouldn't know a spinning heel kick if it him them off the top rope because the WWE is not cool enough to allow guys to hit spinning heel kicks off the top rope.

I remember Johnny Jeter hitting the Johnny Go Round spin kick off the top rope once.
