The 8-Ball 08.23.12: Top 8 WWE Anagrams

August 23, 2012 | Posted by Ryan Byers

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 8-Ball. My name is Ryan Byers, I am your party host, and I am here for what will be a very quick and dirty version of this column due to some time commitments of mine.

Hopefully, I’ve managed to make this quickie list entertaining . . . and, if you think I failed to do that, I should be back in seven days’ time with the more fleshed out 8-Ball that you all know and love.

Top 8 WWE Anagrams

I’ve always been a fan of wordplay. Puns, palindromes, homophones . . . I love them all, and, if you’re somebody who interacts with me in my day-to-day life, you can attest to the fact that I use these devices (and many related ones) almost to the point of being completely obnoxious. Yes, I know, a guy who writes about professional wrestling on the internet has a habit that makes him somewhat obnoxious. I’m sure you’re shocked to be reading that.

Perhaps one of the most challenging and therefore entertaining forms of wordplay is the anagram, in which you take the letters of a word or phrase and rearrange them to form other words or phrases, preferably one that is somehow related to the word or phrase that you started with.

So, in the interest of entertaining myself, I give to you the top eight anagrams that are related to current WWE performers.

8. Brodus Clay = Badly Scour

Brodus Clay certainly badly scoured the arena for Damien Sandow, who was able to jump him from behind on August 6, 2012.

7. “King” Jerry Lawler = Wry Jerk, Lean Girl

Jerry Lawler has made numerous wry comments throughout his career, so much so that his opponents have often considered him to be a jerk. Also, he has a tendency to hang out with lean girls, including his ex-wife, Stacy “The Kat” Carter.

6. Damien Sandow = A Snowman Died

As seen in the video above, Damien Sandow is no fan of frivolity or children’s games. If you invited him to your winter party, he would likely make sure that your snowman would die.

5. The Big Show = Thigh Be Sow

The Big Show regularly performs a move called the “hog log,” in which he drops his thigh down on his opponent’s upper body. Presumably, “hog” refers to his leg . . . so a sow be his thigh.

4. Alberto Del Rio = Labored Toiler

Since his return to WWE, Alberto Del Rio has struggled in a feud against Sheamus, repeatedly having hard fought matches but always coming up on the short end of the stick. He truly is a labored toiler.

3. Vickie Guerrero = Ickier Urge Over

There was a brief period of time during which I was sexually attracted to Vickie Guerrero. However, I passed it. Truly, one of my ickier urges is over.

2. Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar = Only Hunks Perm a Candelabra


This anagram has nothing to do with anything. It’s just a funny sentence.

1. Daniel Bryan = Anal Bindery

Daniel Bryan, under his prior persona of Bryan Danielson, was known for utilizing the small package and various cradles to win matches. If he were to grab the back of the tights of his opponents during one of these moves to gain unfair leverage, he would truly be engaging in some anal bindery.

That’s it for this week’s 8-Ball. If you can’t get enough of Ryan, follow him on Twitter here.
