Viking Experience?
 
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?

Simple Fan 04-16-2019 03:29 AM

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

Mr. Nerfect 04-16-2019 03:38 AM

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

Simple Fan 04-16-2019 03:41 AM

Yeah it's way worse.

Mr. Nerfect 04-16-2019 03:43 AM

How long did it take them to come up with that lazy shit?

Mr. Nerfect 04-16-2019 03:43 AM

They’re done out the gate.

This is early WWF Raw era stuff.

Tom Guycott 04-16-2019 04:39 AM

They're up right after the Phantasio match.

THE Viking Experience ;)

Evil Vito 04-16-2019 10:24 AM

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"

Vastardikai 04-16-2019 11:49 AM

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

Evil Vito 04-16-2019 11:54 AM

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.

Going to start wearing fishnets and a bustiers to be known as "The Viking Girlfriend Experience"

Vastardikai 04-16-2019 11:57 AM

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.

Droford 04-16-2019 12:07 PM

Rape and Pillage the Viking Experience

Danny Electric 04-16-2019 12:13 PM

xrodmuc316 04-16-2019 02:53 PM

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

Vastardikai 04-16-2019 05:15 PM

Vikinglord sounds like a bad ass band name.

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.

Most wrestlers on Twitter are shit.

#1-norm-fan 04-16-2019 07:25 PM

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.

#1-norm-fan 04-16-2019 07:50 PM

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

My Final Heaven 04-16-2019 08:01 PM

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

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.

Mr. Nerfect 04-17-2019 04:32 AM

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