Needless to say, I don't think the WWE Mordecai has anything to with the biblical Mordecai. I think they just chose the name because it sounds all evil and threatening.  |
I actully remember Mordecai being one of the really big evil chracters in the first Children of the Corn movie. I really think that name is a good "evil" name, but that's probably because the first time I had ever heard that name was in the movie.
