Earthquake 2089

[wayne]

Hi guys

I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for an alternate ring name for Earthquake 2089 – 2092/3? I am still way back in 2091 & it bothers me that there is a wrestler in the roster that shares his name with a very well known old WWE/WWF wrestler. I know Tom got there first with the name as I don’t think Earthquake joined WWE til 1990 (I think) but I wanted to give him a different name. I thought about using the name Powerhouse as he does become that later in his career but Massif & Earthquake’s tag name was that at the time of 2089/2090 ish. Any suggestions? Maybe Tom should sue the WWE!

Also going to have the same issue when Greg Valentine joins the GWF years from this point. Am not a big fan of crossing reality with fiction so may either not use him in my GWF fed or give him a different name (also re-naming some moves perhaps). As Valentine featured in a few key storylines at the time I am thinking a different identity is best. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Wayne

You could just start him off as Chopper Mattock or call him Quake.

Quake is cool...

You could call him Mattock. Or ____ Mattock.

Maybe Quake Mattock, and then when he turns heel he'd become Chopper Mattock.

That was the first thought I had when I read the topic. Then I scrolled down and saw that Osk beat me to it!

As for Valentine, I never used him or Mike Fortune during that period. I created two different characters who mirrored their stats to take their place. A nasty pair of guys from Krakan's race named Lassiter and Gauge. Like I wrote, I used the same "power" of the moves and defense, but changed the move names to reflect the characters.

Cheers for the ideas guys. Actually I do like the sound of Mattock and then he becomes Chooper Mattock during the deranged lumberjack stage.

As for Valentine. Still not sure. Gauge is not a bad name though. I might keep Mike Fortune as although he is a real life wrestler, it is gwf inspired so will prob keep him in!

Thanks for that guys.

It's a lame trick but you could just switch their names around a bit and have Mike Valentine and Greg Fortune.

Here are a few variations on the wrestlers' existing names:

Earthquake - Chopper/Quake-Mattock/Rumble/Rumbler/Size-Mattock/Mr. Mattock/Aftershock

Greg Valentine - The Hammer/Dr. Hammer/Lonely Heart/Dark Heart/Valentino Massacre/Mr. V/Father Heart
