Husky’s New Gimmick, Christian Added Mania? Another Mania Event, Hawkins’ HBK Painting
- Husky Harris has debuted a new gimmick in FCW based on the Lord Humongous character from Mad Max. He now wheres a Hockey mask, goes by the name Axl Mulligan in reference to his father, and uses the Stunner as a finisher (Austin is a big supporter).
Interestingly Lord Humongous spin-offs have been used at various times in wrestling, most notably as Psycho Sid’s first major gimmick. In Fact Sid’s son is now using the same gimmick.
- The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Christian might be added to the World Heavyweight Championship Match between Edge and Alberto Del Rio at Wrestlemania.
- From our friend Daris Brown of Hit The Ropes Radio:
Friday April 1st, 2011 is the date. Famous Pub & Sports Palace is the place.
Your boys from HTR Radio have partnered with Famous Pub to bring to you a one-night event this WrestleMania XXVII weekend. Come eat, drink, and mingle with fellow wrestling fans. We’re having special guests in the form of ROH’s Prince Nana and Princess Mia (Mia Yim), independent wrestler Sugar Dunkerton, and former WWF star Mr. Hughes, who is a trainer at WWA4 Training School in Atlanta. Other guests will be in the house.
You’ll be able to chat it up with the guests, take pictures, and purchase merchandise. HTR will also be doing prize giveaways.
In addition, if you know someone in the area who is looking for a WrestleMania ticket, we’ll be raffling off a WrestleMania prize pack which includes one lower level seat ($120 value) well as wrestling DVDs. Proceeds from the raffle, along with donations, will go towards Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Relief as HTR is fund-raising for Global Giving.
The event starts at 11 PM.

Hawkins Painting Of HBK, HHH Returns To The Ring, Animal On Tag Teams Today
-- As noted earlier, Joe "Animal" Laurinaitis was on Monday Night Mayhem radio earlier this week. He discussed the lasting legacy of The Road Warriors and why he feels that The Legion Of Doom would be 'extremely successful' in the industry today, stating, "What we accomplished was that you cannot teach charisma, you cannot teach how to do an interview, you cannot teach mic presence & ring presence, and the natural ability to do things. There's going to be one Hulk Hogan. There's going to be one Ric Flair. There's going to be one Road Warriors. There's probably only to be one Rock. You're never going to reinvent those particular characters again. There's no doubt in my mind that if Hawk & I were to come in fresh today, just on mental attitude & the way we did business, we would be extremely successful today."

"The Game" was reportedly heavier than the last time we saw him in the ring.
