:o:D

[screech]

I should've edited this into my post but I didn't. I've seen it a lot around here and I never knew what the hell anyone was talking about so I figured I'd ask.

[Destor]

Out of curiosity, when did you start watching?

(Not trying to be condescending)

[FourFifty]

Who's HBM?

HBK is HBM.
HBM is Heart Break Man.
There are two reasons why he's HBM.
One theory says with his hair line going up and his bald spot growing he can't be a kid anymore.
The theory I believe it was because of his match at WrestleMania with Flair. "To be the man, you gotta beat the man!" HBK beat the man to become the man, WOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I didn't start watching regularly until 1998 (right after the Mankind/Undertaker HIAC). I had watched a little before that, but didn't follow it much.

HBM came about during a convo me and Jeritron had in the WM thread about the Flair/HBM match where Jeritron dubbed him the Heart Break Man. I then dubbed that it would be his offcial name and the rest is TPWW history.

For that matter, why was Ric Flair able to be "The Man" while also being "The Nature Boy" at 60 years of age? Shouldn't he have been "The Nature Man"? I don't want any answer containing the reasoning that "He's Ric Flair, Ric Fucking Flair, Ric Mother Fucking Flair," or any derivation thereof.

[Xero]

LOL, "The Nature Man". Sounds like a back woods gimmick.

That could've been Regal's moniker back in 98!

Sounds like a totally gay dude equivalent to Poison Ivy.

[thedamndest]

I wonder how many takes they had to do while singing that theme due to the group cracking up. Upwards of fifty, I'll bet.

[Indifferent Clox]

"He's Ric Flair, Ric Fucking Flair, Ric Mother Fucking Flair" this should be his new music

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Just saying that it has to be HBM as I have weighed in on the matter via my shocking name change.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

*ahem* That is all.

A ton of guys already beat Flair. Flair was never the man.

[Fox]

But only two other guys beat Flair on the grandest stage of them all:

The Macho "Man" and the Dead "Man" Undertaker.

So it makes sense that HBK would become HBM.

[Xero]

Also, Shawn Michaels beat Flair for good. Nobody's done that, and at least until Flair wrestles again, HBK is HBM.

Also, Rob Man Dam won the MITB Flair was involved in
