Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 20, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 20, 2020 Andre was the 8th, Chyna was the 9th. Is there anyone out there in the wrestling world these days with a unique enough look or physique to be called the 10th Wonder of the World? (Not that they’d ever actually do that with someone, but it’d be fun to imagine) I don’t keep track of the Performance Centre recruits but I wonder whether there’s anyone down there who might get a nickname like that, who stands out from everyone else around them. Or is there someone in the indies yet to be snapped up? If not, let’s just talk Andre for a bit. Or Chyna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted September 20, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2020 Isn't there a massive ex basketball player training at the PC? He's probably the only one I can think of. Honestly it would take something truly unique and special to grab that moniker and I'm not even sure there's any act that unusual that could justify it.

WyattSheepMask Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I can’t help but think Sable saw that pic of Andre and said “Hey Marc, I’ve got an idea...” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndiRush Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I don't think there will be a 10th wonder of the world in wrestling. Unless some 10ft tall Prometheus looking bloke turned up on Raw, I just don't see anything being that special to justify the moniker these days.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted September 21, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2020 The fact they never used it with someone like Khali makes me think they never will again. Dabba-Kato for me feels as close as they'll get to it, in terms of sheer size and fear factor. I'd even not be too fussed by someone like Shane being his mouth piece talking about his main attraction, the 10th wonder of the world and having him just smash everyone.

Paid Members CoreyVandal Posted September 21, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2020 Surely it'd work a lot better for the next Crash Holly type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 21, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2020 Yeah, maybe have some heel start referring to themselves as the tenth wonder of the world for heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pogue Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Ninth wonder of the world was a terrible nickname, any time Chyna was on anything mainstream and was referred to by that most people would've just gone 'Eh? Ninth?' Agree with the above, a heel using it would be good for heat, it'd fit Ziggler really but obviously it'd be wasted on him at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Jericho should use it. He could make it work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got back into wrestling in 2000, I had no real knowledge of Andre ever having been called the 8th Wonder Of The World, so everything around Chyna being the 9th just made no sense to me. If anyone gets it now, it should be one of the 7 foot + Indian lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 21, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 21, 2020 I agree with the notion that it should be the moniker of some chickenshit heel playing it for heat, like Jericho calling himself "The King of the World", and so on.

Pogue Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I suppose an even better choice for a WWE heel would be to just call themselves the 8th wonder of the world, then you could have the commentators go on about how disrespectful it is to Andre etc. Thinking about it further (it's my week off) having someone called the tenth would be a bit dodgy seeing as at some point kids would wanna know who the 9th was, short of the commentators saying 'she left in 2001 then did absolutely nothing til she died, PLEASE don't Google her' it'd be a bit awkward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why spend your time ragging on someone who's been dead for years, rather than someone on the roster who can give you your comeuppance for mouthing off? There's only so many times you could do "babyface sticks up for the memory of Andre" and expect the audience to give a shit, and that number of times is "maybe once".
