I guess they are ultimately, trying to make all the Canadians, non Canadians?

blueskies 04-06-2004 08:16 AM

lol.. funny..
but really, is it that big a deal?

Mister Sinister 04-06-2004 09:31 AM

I wonder when they actually start announcing where Edge is from, if it will be Toronto, or Tampa now....BTW, has Test, Christians and Trish's hometown changed yet?

The Mackem 04-06-2004 09:38 AM

The Mountie is from Minnesota.

What Would Kevin Do? 04-06-2004 09:58 AM

Christian's hometown is announced as Tampa I believe.

SuperSlim 04-06-2004 10:07 AM

I guess they're tryin to kick Canada out of the WWE

Shaggy 04-06-2004 10:13 AM

Yea I noticed that last night about Jericho and Beniot. That was the first time noticed it about beniot. It sucks they must be trying to keep Canada down.

Elements 04-06-2004 11:02 AM

Or maybe it is leading to another "Team Canada" angle.

Mister Sinister 04-06-2004 12:40 PM

As much as I love a possible Team Canada thing, and I love it, because I am canadian and all, but hasn't it been played out a little too much, Oh God, You know Hell is going to freeze over when they announce Lance Storm from a place, other then...Calgary...





Alberta, Canada

El Santo 04-06-2004 12:50 PM

Don't forget that La Resistance is now from Quebec.

...

Dammit. At this rate, we're going to find out Eugene is from Hamilton, Ontario.

KingofOldSchool 04-06-2004 01:37 PM

Hahahaha all the jobbers will start being billed from Canada.

Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Canada....SPIKE DUDLEY!

Benoit's hometown changed at wrestlemania, which sucked.

PoisonIvy 04-06-2004 01:55 PM

Lance Storm will soon be from Birmingham, Alabama

The CyNick 04-06-2004 01:58 PM

I guess if you are Canadian, it means you are evil.

I guess the WWE is trying to kill off their most loyal market outside NYC

Just like real life...:shifty:

Blue Demon 04-06-2004 02:44 PM

Damn, I guess I'm Evil...I guess being French is ok...oh wait, that means I'm evil too according to WWE. I'm also part German, so I'm safe...oh wait...Karl Von Hess was in WWE too....damn :nono:

tucsonspeed6 04-06-2004 03:18 PM

Last night they said Rob Conway was from Quebec City, Quebec. I don't know if they said that was where he's from before or if it's part of his character (Can't be French so he becomes French-Canadian....?) But they were always hyping him up to be a US citizen who was a french sympathizer.

BTW, the crowd was chanting "USA" again last night durring the match between Rob Conway and Chris Benoit. (confusing?). I'm just going to assume that it's a taunt against La Resistance to irritate them, rather than a cheer for the face they are booked with, because this has happened a couple times before now too.

Well, the French and German were both against going into Iraq, making them evil...

The Show Off 04-06-2004 07:27 PM

They're all changing there hometowns because Jericho & Benoit don't live in Canada anymore. The WWE superstars are announced from where ever they want to be announced from. Ric Flair about twenty years ago decided that he wanted to be announced as from Greensborough North Carolina, yet he's from Minnesota. I'm guessing the fact that Jericho lives in New York now has gotten him some loyalty for his new hometown. If they announced "Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Chris Benoit!" then I think it'd be stupid, but saying that he's from Georgia is correct because he lives there.

I would have agreed with you but Christian and Trish were both announced as being from Canada. :wtf:

Blue Demon 04-06-2004 09:28 PM

I just remembered...they also announced Nidia as being from Puerto Rico

DOn't think Christian or Test. Because I heard Edmonton Alberta Canada last night I swear for them.

Great, if that is the case, now they are just getting them wrong....

Also, As far as Conway being announced from Quebec, He's not consider french, since he was a French Sympother (Whatever the Hell that is) I guess if he is that, Quebec would be the next best place to announce him from, besides French, or Mustardville

Hired Hitman 04-07-2004 09:33 AM

It's apart of the 'shake-up' Wrestlers not only change shows, but hometowns as well... :shifty:
