Did Edge lose a ton of weight?

Nope its not. Those same kids would do the same thing if he was hailed as Chris Wells. Beanie in the name wont change any of that if he turns out to be what we think he may be.

You don't understand marketing very well. Nicknames can become a brand name for a person (See Ocho Cinco, ect..). McDonalds outsells everyone despite having an inferior product because people buy into the name.

It becomes even more important when your name isn't anything special. Anyone remember Rod Smart? Okay how about He Hate Me? Same guy. I had to actually google his real name.

And it isn't just crappy players. Can you name "Magic" Johnson's first name off the top of your head? But if I say "Magic" Johnson, you know exactly whom I mean.

Earvin. Too easy.

Earvin. Too easy.

Now go ask 50 people who Earvin Johnson is and then go ask 50 people who Magic Johnson is.

I promise the percentage of difference will be significant. Magic is memorable, Earvin is now.

You asked. I will take your word for it.

Your right 18 years after the fact. But If Chris Wells went out as Chris Wells and averaged 10 TD's per year and 1300 yards per year for 10-12 years he would be just as marketable and kids/adults would buy his stuff and be everything he would have been or will be as Beanie if he does the same. You cant or wont convince me otherwise.

People dont rememeber guys like Jim Brown or Walter Payton or MArshall Faulk or Adrian Peterson any less just because they dont go by some silly childhood nickname.

Oh, yeah? Well just stare into this for a couple of minutes and we'll just see about that!

Now repeat after me: Beanie is goooood. I like the sound of Beanie. Beanie makes me feel like I'm floating on a cloud. I don't know why I ever felt anything but great about the name Beanie. I'm going to change my ASFN name to Beanie. I might even start wearing a beanie, I like that name so much.

:snapsfingers:

Okay, what do you think now, Big Guy?

Interesting stuff. Appreciate the word connection. We need interesting stuff in the off-season.
