so I know Jeep Swenson was the ultimate solution in WCW for one match at uncensored. Any idea why the WWE uses his promo pic as bane from Batman & Robin to promote WCW uncensored?

Just that one PPV and a couple of nitro's to lead up to the PPV. Him and Zeus (called Z-gangsta in WCW) were Kevin Sullivan's secret weapons to destroy Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. ***Spoiler Alert*** It did not work. |

But why does WWE use the promo headshot of Bane? |

My guess would be they couldn't find a picture of his Ultimate Solution character which is a stretch but yeah it's odd they went with Bane.

That's a good question. I mean the pics been there since launch of the Network so I'm guessing they did but with WWE who knows? |

That I do not know. Is that a poster from WCW or did WWE make that? If it's from WCW then a deal was probably done back then and when WWE purchased WCW it carried over. If WWE made the poster, it's interesting that they would be allowed to use a picture of Bane. |

This was the official poster... 
Definitely seems like WWE made up their own with the one on the Network.

Also the movie came out a year-and-a-half after the pay-per-view. There was not even test shots on the movie at that point.

Perhaps a WWE staff member just did a google image search of Jeep Swenson, that pic came up and it looked cooler than just a pic without his mask.

Further proof that after the ground-breaking first episode, Nitro was a steaming pile for the most part until the nWo showed up.

All I can thing I think of when Jeep is mentioned in regards to the match, is the original name they gave him. Seriously, how did no one in charge not foresee, that naming a wrestler the Final Solution, might strike a cord with some people?

And Batman & Robin is still, in my opinion, the worst superhero movie I've ever seen. Horrible in all facets, acting, writing, set design, special effects, just horrible all around. |
