Roman Numerals
 

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.

Can't wait for WM XLVIII...

I'm waiting for some cocky poster to try guess that and get it wrong. :D

XLVIII? Extra large eight?

Wrestlemania 8?

48!

You moron. It's Xtra Large VIII. It's Matt Hardy's new gimmick!

pssshhh, like they'd name a Wrestlemania after Matt Hardy!:roll:

"It's been years since we've seen him... Donuts, Cheeseburgers and a botched liposuction have all lead up to this...

Matt Hardy VIII: Xtra Large, Xtra in Chrage... AND XTRA CHEESE!

Coming soon to ECW."

I'd buy the t-shirt

It comes in large, extra large, extra extra large and baseball field tarp.

I don't know, I'm more of a New Jersey in Pants

hooray for recycled jokes from Billy Crystal movies I only saw a couple minutes of!

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.

You got a point.

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

:shifty:
