King Pitcos Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Neither El nor Generico are English words. It's a work. The genuine translation would be something like Good Noble.
King Mal the Glorious Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Seen a few of these over the years, there're some footballer names that do it.
Pinc Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Neither El nor Generico are English words. It's a work. The genuine translation would be something like Good Noble. I thought the same thing but, does that mean WWE have contacted Google Translate and asked them to insert this small quirk into their service in the hope that someone one day notices and it goes viral for a day? Could it not be something like the arabic characters which correspond to Sami Zayn (سامي زين, apparently) literally spell out the syllables 'El Gen er i co'?
Paid Members Benno Posted February 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2016 I think just someone at Google is a wrestling fan.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted February 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2016 Some proper thickos in this thread today!
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2016 DID YOU KNOW!!!??? Triple H's theme song wasn't actually played by Motorhead? Lemmy did the vocals and Bob Kulick (the brother of Bruce Kulick from the non-makeup era KISS) did the music. Bet you didnt know that did you? Fun off the tidbits, me.
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 19, 2016 Moderators Posted February 19, 2016 Good fun fact. I'll definitely forget that by the time I find a relevant opportunity to slip it in to conversation.
CTXRussomark Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 The new WWE.com website might look a load of shit, but they've done what's basically my dream feature - guys in different coloured gear! Blue Kane, Purple Goldust, Away Kit Steve Austin?! Get in. http://www.wwe.com/gallery/ring-gear-color-change-photos#fid-40003054 Purpledust looks amazing. The rest not so much.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted February 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2016 Silver-Marie looks hot and I think Blue Demon Kane works surprisingly well.
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2016 Taker looks fucking mental
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 19, 2016 Moderators Posted February 19, 2016 Wrestling and shit taste in music go hand in hand though, just look at the music threads on here. Mostly all shit metal stuff. That 'recommend me some music' thread in OT right now is just tragic.
Pinc Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Some gems though. Roland Kirk and Mr Bungle are class.

Paid Members JNLister Posted February 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted February 19, 2016 On the Google thing, it's down to them trying to make the translation accurate rather than literal. If you translate "El Generico" into Arabic, the results is "Sami zyn", which seems to be because Google indexes a lot of pages (such as Wikipedia) which 'authoritatively' state that Sami Zayn is the correct name now for the man previously known as El Generico.
