Luchador Canadiense Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's not exactly a wrestler, but I did chuckle the other day when I booked a show in the Evanovich Arena in Trenton, New Jersey... a reference to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series which is set in Trenton, NJ.

Rayelek Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Bull Wrecker (aka Eric Sandretti or Eric The Bull) makes me think of Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli, former WWE & WCW wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cappyboy Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Well, the Carter case was popularized in a Bob Dylan song called "The Hurricane" that you'll hear on any classic rock station. (As well as a movie with the same title, but I think that one's too late...) Arthur Dexter Bradly is mentioned several times in the song, and, well, it's not an easy name to forget. Also, there's a an archived sampler of the e-fed where Adam first used Tommy Cornell in the history section of the C-Verse site. Our version of Bradley was one of the other characters there. Which explains why we have an Arthur Dexter Bradley but no Alfred Bello. I.E., the other thug in the Hurricane story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberious Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Just noticed the other day that there's a tag team in Australia with the surnames Mills and Boon, after the publishers of awful romance novels. Not only that, but their first names are Rusty & Donovan, which when googled along with Mills and Boon brings up Nevada Cowboy Dad (yes that's the actual title of the book) a romance novel whose main characters are Lucy Donovan & Rusty Sheffield. Their terrible team name, The Duo, may also be a reference to the publisher, as according to wikipedia Mills and Boon used to have an imprint format called "the Duet" which featured 2 stories by 1 author in one volume. Makes you wonder about Adam's choice of reading material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitarzu Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Joy DeWitt is probably a reference of Joyce DeWitt, an American actress who played the role of Janet Wood, one of the main character of the '70s American sitcom Three's Company, based on the '70s British sitcom Man About The House.
