Do you guys have anything WWE related that you constantly  up? I always read 'NXT' as 'Next.' I thought, when the show was first announced, that it was actually pronounced 'NEXT.' I thought it was a play on words. The young, up and coming stars, ya know, they're the next guys in line, the next generation. I know it's actually N.X.T. I just always hear 'next' in my head when I read it. You guys have anything like that? Mispronounce something or switch anyone's name up? |

What does NXT stand for anyway? I'm pretty sure it does mean "Next", the concept of the show has changed though. who knows... I can't think of anything right now, but when I was a kid I used to say 'Ted DiBiase' as 'Ted Disabled' My stepdad tends to mishear or mis pronounce wrestlers names  a few come to mind. Brotus Clay Sim Card (Sin Cara) Skid Sheffield Eddie Gorerigog (Guerrero) |

I'm sure everyone in the history of the world has pronounced Curt Hennig 'Henning' instead. It just happens...
Anyways, mine was always calling Grandmaster Sexy 'Grandmastah sexay'.

When Luna was first introduced with Shawn Michaels, I thought her name was "Loon of a Shawn" I always thought it was "Luna for Shawn" when I was younger. |

When she debuted at Wrestlemania 9, I thought the "shawn" part of her name was based for her desire of being with Shawn Michaels. Good to know I wasn't the only one who first thought that when I seen her. |

I have no idea why but I used to think Maryse was actually said like Marcy, before I actually heard her name announced. Most embarrassing, however, was my botching of D'Lo Brown. I had the Smackdown game for the PS1, and when I tried to say his name, I think the D'Lo part fooled me. Because I said it "Dlow Bro-n".

To this day my cousin still cannot say "Faarooq".
He's 24.
Since we were kids he has always called him "Vaarooq".

Mines is a little different, but even as a huge fan I never got the name Terra Ryzing for Hunter in wCw. Wasn't till many years into his WWE run when I realized it's a play off of the word Terrorizing.

I use to call Umaga Omaga and sometimes Youmaga on occasions and I've always wrote Rick Flair instead of Ric. But that's all I can remember at the moment. Mines is a little different, but even as a huge fan I never got the name Terra Ryzing for Hunter in wCw. Wasn't till many years into his WWE run when I realized it's a play off of the word Terrorizing. I never noticed that until now lol |
