Dumbest rumors you've ever heard. [Archive]

I remember right before the 1993 Royal Rumble, some people were saying that Lex Luger was Hulk Hogan's brother. I don't know if that's actually a rumor that went around or if the people I was watching with were full of shit.

Also, the one about there being 2 different Ultimate Warriors was pretty ridiculous.

I remember when people around these parts were gloating because they knew The Rock's real name was "Rocky Maivia."

Chris Jericho would come back and be a perennial mid-carder for the rest of his career.

ITT: Noid does not know what "rumor" means.

I don't believe in the word "rumor." You yanks and you're crappy spelling.

Rumour: An unverified account or explanation of events circulating from person to person and pertaining to an object, event, or issue in public concern.

I know what a rumour is. I was taking the piss out of those cynics who claim that a guy isn't going to go anywhere. And besides, those could both be considered rumours.

"It was rumoured that Jericho would not be used in a meaningful role."

"It was rumoured that The Rock's real name was Rocky Maivia."

"It is now confirmed that KK does not have a penis."

I'll admit I don't know what "ITT" means. I hate it when internet shorthand is used for anything other than a joke.

Brock Lesnar was going to return at Judgment Day 2005. Matt Morgan using the F5 and JD being in Minnesota were the indicators for this apparently.

I'm not trying to make a joke, but I remember seriously hearing right after Owen Hart's death that it was fake. I wish it was.

The fact that Mark Henry has maintained nearly 15 years of continuous employment, despite an accumulated almost 4 and a half years of injury, being relegated to OVW 4 times to learn more skills (dispate being trained initially by Stu Hart, then Bret Hart on the road) and continued proof he can't work the mic at all, this time by bringing in Tony Atlas, who never spoke when he was a wrestler. Is better than any rumour.

That Bret had 30 days reasonable creative control before leaving WWF.

Actually, That was true. He got to choose his tights and rental cars for every show. What more would you deem as 'reasonable' with Vince?

and Kane

STOP! it your giving Vince ideas :shifty:

Kane (Festus) Undertaker (Brian Lee) and Sting (Jeff Farmer) Vs Kane (Glen Jacobs) Undertaker (Mark Calaway), and Sting (Steve Borden).

I'd make a Renegade joke too but he was stripped of his dignity when he was deemed not good enough to do an "ultimate warrior" gimmick. RIP Rick Williams :wavesad:

And the Ultimate Warrior is a joke enough :naughty:

And you'll have to forgive me for not appreciating your "genius," as the irony is sort of deflated by my honest admittance that I have no clue what that abbreviation refers to. It loses a little of its impact.

Back to the topic at hand, I remember for years that every news post (i.e. someone copy/pasting the Observer) always had a link claiming that Stone Cold or Goldberg was about to jump ship.

You know Noid, you could have spent 8 seconds finding what ITT stood for so that the rest of us could come to a thread without it being tainted by the Noid vs KK/BDC/whoever shit.

ITT = In This Thread (amongst a lot of other things)

To be honest, I couldn't care what "ITT" means. If you want to say "In this thread," don't be so lazy and just say "in this thread." Thanks for the information, though. Also, I'm very rarely the antagonist in these "Noid vs. BDC/KK/Xero" things. I'm the one who calls for things to get back on topic (and for some reason that offends them).

I appreciate you trying to get things on track, but next time grow some balls and tell them to STFU and STFD. Besides, me saying I didn't know what it means was hardly what started it.

Whatever, I'm done. One rumour I heard once was that Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit were cousins. Dead serious.

The rumor that turnbuckles are made out of chocolate. It's just absurd. I mean, I guess none of us work for the WWE, so there's no way of knowing for sure. Seems false though.

Off topic here- I have a co-worker who says "Well that dude doesn't have a penis" way too often. BDC, you have just given me the greatest comeback EVER!!!!!!!!!!

If you were a sandwhich, I'd eat you.

It isn't a comeback. Kane Knight really is a tranny, but hasn't gotten the dick removing surgery.

As for dumb rumors, um, probably something about Angle going MMA.
