There is nothing interesting or special about Lars. standard big man, crap music, like a generic create a character. give him a mouthpiece or something

Touch of the Snitskys about him.

The Viking Experience, sorry if it offends but the first word that came to my mind was gay. Couldn't have picked a more softer name for those lads.

Lord TSC · 16-04-2019 08:35AM

I've never been one to get annoyed at names changes.

But wow, the "Viking Experience" is awful. Just absolutely awful.

It makes them sound like a theme park ride. Like two lads playing Viking for tourists. Its the utter opposite of intimidating.

"Oh lads, you know who we're scared of. Ivor and Erik, the Viking Experience."

Its the first time I've actually felt angry about a name change, cause it literally kills the aura of what should have been an incredible tag team call up.

THE VIKING EXPERIENCE!?!!?

sky88 · 16-04-2019 09:16AM

never been annoyed about name change like TSC but god that one is effin stupid just makes no sense

screams of a last minute decision from Vince and he was like we cant say war on tv so theyll be the viking experience jesus so stupid

i really hope this becomes one of those things next week thatll be completely forgotten about and there war raiders next week

RollieFingers · 16-04-2019 10:06AM

The Viking Experience

They'll be making their entrance on this yoke next!

Sounds like the usual WWE garbage, also what was the point of calling up EC3 for that?

Lithium93_ · 16-04-2019 12:16PM

The Viking Experience.... Excuse me a few minutes....

Talk about kneecapping a tag team before they even get going on the main roster. It's so childish, and unnecessary, clearly the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy doesn't apply in WWE.

Officer999 · 16-04-2019 12:50PM

That Sami Zayn promo was brilliant in fairness

ThePott · 16-04-2019 12:56PM

Oh my God!

The Viking Experience, that is hilariously awful. WTF
Sounds like a sh1te ride at Funderland.
Or The Viking Experience with Erik and Ivor sounds like an educational show on CBBC.
Has to be one of the worst name changes possible. They will flounder on name alone. So does that mean when they go to defend their NXT tag titles they'll be known as The Viking Experience.
Regardless I give it 2 weeks before Cole is shouting, "ARE YOU READY? FOR THE VIKING EXPERIENCE!". A month and they'll be on Main Event.

Also seems like Sanity are now broken up cause EY has been moved to Raw, if you were on NXT you'd never want to leave. AJ was obvious but welcome, Rey and Andrade could be good, will wait to see Smackdown to see if they've been truly shafted. Lars is crap. Way to ruin the USO reveal too WWE.

Also there was a graphic yesterday that leaked that showed someone moving to Smackdown

Kairi Sane was seen next to Asuka

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 16-04-2019 01:05PM

On the leaked graphic I wonder if that person and the person alongside them are Paiges new tag team

sirmanga · 16-04-2019 01:25PM

Mick Foley defending the atrocious War Raiders name change. What a spoofer that man is. During the time he was at odds with WWE he was on social media blasting them every week. Saying he broke his TV in protest of the outcome of the 2014 Rumble match and other such nonsense. Now that his son works for WWE, and his no talent daughter is trying to get any kind of job with them, he seems to defend everything WWE does.

Then again this is Mick Foley, a career hypocrite. The same man whose hero was Jimmy Snuka, and who gladly posed for pictures with and marked out around Mike Tyson, yet is a spokesperson for a sexual abuse survivors charity.

Go away, Foley, and buy some new clothes you total and utter sweaty buffoon.

J. Marston · 16-04-2019 01:32PM

They would be a cool tag team

but I'd like Asuka to go after Becky, with a new edge hopefully. Their match at the Rumble was great, it adds to Becky's whole fighting on all fronts thing plus she is eventually going to lose a belt and stick to one show so I'd like it to be Asuka and not Lacey who beats her.

Says a lot about how boring Natalya is that not even her fellow Canadians, usually a loyal bunch, care that much about her.

Even the font on the The Viking Experience's titantron is fúcking crap.

Best part of Raw was a Youtube exclusive...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pBwi1NcINo

I want crowds to sing that version every week.

Lord TSC · 16-04-2019 01:44PM

I really want the Iiconics in Dublin and was sad when I saw them pop up, but I think they were just there as dual-brand champs, right? I don't think it ever said they were drafted.

Agent Coulson · 16-04-2019 03:02PM

Between Lar's and The Viking Experience it feel's like Vince is back in the 80's.

Vince likely had to be talked out of calling them The Junior Berzerkers :P

Well, I suppose being in any way attractive despite having been produced in part by the testicles of one of humanity's most hideous creatures, who is so frugal that it's a miracle he even parted with his sperm in the first place, could be considered a talent.

Though he's right in calling out Mick for his hypocrisy, dragging Noelle into it was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.

Insect Overlord · 16-04-2019 06:06PM

Mick was a handsome dude before he started getting involved with barbed wire, thumbtacks, steel chairs and death-matches.

CastorTroy · 16-04-2019 06:29PM

I would hope HHH, at least, tried to convince Vince that The Viking Experience was a crap name. If they didn't want to say "War" they could have at least called them Viking Raiders, though then as someone said elsewhere, they probably didn't want to be accused of stealing a NFL name. And then changing the 2 guys' names as well? WTF?
And looks like Eric Young is going to be buried more than he already was. He, Roode and EC3 are casualties of Impact.

Of course I just decided Bayley/Naomi can just be named Team Booty

J. Marston · 16-04-2019 06:51PM

Black got his creaky board and now Ricochet has pew pew lazers that sound like it has ricocheted (do you get it? do you see the link? do you?) off something...

They over-produce everything.

So other people heard those too? Just accepted I was losing my marbles since there's no way they'd add such a stupid thing

CastorTroy · 16-04-2019 08:55PM

Maybe they got them from the one true Rick O'Shea

That’s his gimmick he’s angry at everything WWE but still continues to watch it and read about it.
