So what's Pirate Paul's finisher gonna be called?
 

It needs to have a piratey name nowadays, so gimme some suggestions.

Walking The Plank :shifty:

:shifty: The swashbuckler

Wanking the punk?

Cannonball.

Shiver Me Timbres.

I typed shiver me timbers 1st, but i thought it was a bit of a mouthfull. I like the idea of 'Cannonball' as it kind of relates to 'C4' in the way that they are both weaponry

Hit the deck.

figure four leg lock

Now I've got the BReeders song Cannonball on the brain. And even worst, the name of the album it's off of, Last Splash, would sound pretty cool for it.

Just not piratey.

The Rock Bottom 360.

Poopdeck Drop

:shifty:

I got it! "The Hook"!

Now all we need to do is cut off one of his arms. :shifty:

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRM BARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Canonball hotwired.

The Sparrow

The Cannonball was Jean Pierre Lafitte's (aka Carl Oulette) finisher.

Thankfully, WWE doesn't really give a shit if they use a name that's been used before.

Piracy.....:shifty:

Well, we just gave the name for Jim Ross to call it whenever HE sees that move done.

Davey Jones Locker.

^ Not bad.. if it was a submission move. ;)

Ya know... C4 could work if they say "C" stands for "Cannonball" or "Cannon."

They'll prolly go with something like the CANNONSAULT or the BUCCANEER BACKFLIP

I think they'll just make it "Walk the Plank". Sort of reminds me of that movie "Walk The Line". They'll probably have him reveal a blood-tie to Johnny Cash as well.

I like Cannonball, but it is kinda the name of an already existent move. I think they should just keep it "The C4". Just because he's a pirate, doesn't mean all his moves need pirate names. They could also explain that he is yet to explore only four of the Seven Seas.

Maybe "The Cutlass"? I expect them to come up with something like "Scurvy Suplex", though.

Davey Jones Figure Four Leg Locker. :shifty:

So we should expect the use of the word "modified" in the name?

Cannon Ball is the only one that could possibly make sense for it.

Black Pearl Bomb

or

Black Pearl Plunge

The Pearl Necklace

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Burchill

Wikipedia seems to think it's called The Plank though I've not heared any mention of that name on Smackdown.

I'm still hoping for Shiver me timbres ....

No way man...

"Birchill just gave Booker a Pearl Necklace"...that's money

:shifty:

Wikipedia is edited by the mentally retarded more than it is edited by anyone with any real, factual knowledge.

A brief example:

The Stargate SG-1 page contains many errors, I'm sure, which some anal nerd could tell you about. However, some of the glaring ones are when they claim that one of the characters invented someting--AND IT'S STANDARD MILITARY EQUIPMENT! You don't need to be, like, a Trekkie, or a knowledgable person, or even a fan of the show to know that Sam Carter didn't invent the UAV.

Last night's Smackdown had Tazz saying he DIDN'T know the name, and vowed to go find it out. So clearly, the name the plank didn't come from an onscreen source. Doesn't mean it's wrong, but it makes you wonder where they got the info, and if WWE is really that unimaginative.

Well, not so much wonder as confirm...

WWE.com says it's unnamed.

I may write in with "The Pearl Necklace", and hope I hear it on TV

black jack schalak and the 6 pack attack

What kind of finishing move is it? (I don't watch that shit called smackdown)

Its the C4(backflip uranage)

That's it's original name. It doesn't mean the WWE will call it by that. They haven't called it anything but "WOW WHAT A MOVE!" so far.

Wrist lock.

On smackdown last night either tazz or cole caled it "walking the plank". =/ Rogering the cabin boy woulda been better. :(

"Saber Edge" but walking the plank is pretty much the best name they can give to this move. I like Burchill, he is innovative and goes all out in his matches. If he keeps doing this, this man can go far in the WWE because he has everything he needs to be on top.

...Except a good gimmick...

Honestly, you can't say that you can see a pirate as a legit WWE Champion.

We've had a zombie as champion, so we can have a pirate. Yeah, I can see him as a champion. Not now, he is too young and needs to develop a little more, but I can definetely see him as a world champion. I mean, if JBL was champion, the Burchill is certainly not worse.

He was answering Stickman.

I also thought that I heard Cole say that - but that was right after Tazz mentioned not knowing the name of it.

The Flying Dutchman.
Keel-Haul.

RAPE AND PILLAGER

The ARRRRRRRRRRGH K O

Black Pearl Plunge kicks all your asses.

Papa Shango was never champ.

Spanish Fly

"Thargh She Blows!"

X Marks The Spot
Dead Man's Chest
Rum Guzzler

High Seas Bomb
Moon Bomb
Booty Buster :shifty:

Perfect for the Rated ARRRRRRRRRRG Superstar.

All good ones, but Skippord wins the thread. ;)

How long until we get a move called the Dutch Oven?

Or the Frying Dutchmen?

The moby dick

Or the Cleveland Steamer

That comes when Randy Orton changes gimmicks.

The hot carl.

Hunting for Booty?

:shifty:

Ocean-Floored Single-Armed Caribbean Backflip Buster

Just give up I've already won the thread

Wrongo Buckaroo

Did Saturn name it?

No, had he named it, it would be Swab the Deck.

Actually, that or some variation wouldn't be too bad. :shifty:

Pirate have Gold teeth because their mothers didn't love them...

maybe they should nickname him "The Seaman From The Poop Deck".

His finisher then could be the Seaman Splash

We now have a new champion ^ ^

BULLSHIT :mad:

BULLSNIT! :mad:

ARRRRRRRGGGGHHH K O is pretty good, but seriously, hearing them call the Seaman Splash would be hilarious.

And if Paul ever gets busted open during a match and gets blood all over the mat, then Cole and Tazz can talk about the "Seaman stains" all over the ring.

And if he gets pushed as a plucky babyface, they can mention that he is a "spunky Seaman".

and they can talk about the last time he hit the seven seas, and nearly got eaten by a shark, and point out that the "Seaman was nearly swallowed".

Ah, this stuff writes itself.

It wasn't my fault!

Okay, if it's been named, why did Tazz still not know the name tonight? He kinda stammered that it was sorta like walking the plank, but...

Dunno, he done the same thing a couple of weeks back but sounded more sure of himself, tonight he was like :wtf: was that.

speaking of tonite did i just see the giant gonzalas??

:rofl: :heart:

No, a couple weeks back, Tazz was saying he was going to find out what it was called.

You're welcome.

All I know is that I :heart: Pirate Burchill.

I love the fact that they haven't stopped treating it like he knows it's a gimmick. I'd hate to see him get sucked into EUGENE KAYFABE of death...
