Why did WWE change the pronounciation of the name to Gucker when Maryse dressed up as the Gooker on Raw?

My guess is that since they were being very PG-minded, they were worried the name might be construed as a racial slur by someone looking to attack them or the Linda McMahon campaign.

Is it just me or is Wade Barrett's finisher "Wasteland" the worst move ever? I mean there isnt alot of force or power when someone is dropped. Hogan's leg drop hits harder than Barrett's move! What is the worst finisher in history in your opinion?

I always hated the People's elbow and the Worm but if they are over, that's all that matters.

Numerous sports now incorporate competitors entrances with music, videos, and even pyro into their product eg. boxing, darts, syncronised swimming probably??  Did this phenomenom begin with pro wrestling and to what extent has it being borrowed by "real" sports?

It absolutely began with pro wrestling, but like anything else that becomes popular or is a success, it is absorbed into pop culture and used.

I have a question regarding the WarGames match at WCW WrestleWar 1991 which featured The Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Sid Vicious) and Larry Zbyszko (with Arn Anderson) versus Sting, Brian Pillman, and The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott).  Of course, the match ended when Sid Vicious gave Brian Pillman those two wicked powerbombs.  My question is, was that second powerbomb really necessary?  The first powerbomb, which I might add, was one of the sickest moments I've ever seen in wrestling, & almost put Brian Pillman in a wheelchair for the rest of his life (like what happened to Darren Drozdov).  Even if the match called for two powerbombs, the first one was brutal enough, why the hell didn't the referee throw up the "X" & end it there?  What the hell is wrong with Sid?  When you're wrestling someone, isn't the #1 rule to protect your opponent?  Hell, even the late Owen Hart knew that Steve Austin was legitimately injured after the botched piledriver at SummerSlam (which is probably why he didn't lay a finger on him & chose to stall the match instead).
