PCTI Athletes Alter Ego's Part II

Anthony Hopkins-"The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. 

There are so many similarities between these two I don't know where to start.  Arn made a career off success as a team player and leader in the most popular stable of all time, the 4 Horseman.  Similarly, Hops is the glue that holds PCTI's only stable together, the Quad Pod.  Arn never wowed you in any facet of what he did outside of one thing-ENFORCING.  Every success (There were a lot of them over the years) that Arn had was done uglier than it's ever been done before.  His punches were ugly.  His promo's were ugly.  His spinebuster was uglier.  He was ugly.  Outside of looks, Hops basketball career couldn't be more similar.  His shot is ugly.  His defense is ugly.  His game is ugly.  All that being said, both catapulted their lack of skill in any facet of life into immense success and popularity.  Arn had a stint as GM of WCW wrestling personnel.  Hops is PCTI's director of player personnel.  On top of everything, both are Enforcer's in their respected industries that tell it like it is and let people know where they stand.

Scott Donley-"Ravishing" Rick Rude

There is one, and only one difference between Ravishing Rick Rude and Scott Donley.  That difference is that Rude promotes his appeal to anyone that will listen.  Donley takes a back seat (Or pays people) to promote his.  Rude and Donley both LOVE the camera and think the camera loves them much more.  To their credit, both athlete's deliver good promo's and are quality in the ring/on the court.  Both take a completely different approaches when in the midst of competition than they do the pretty boy persona they portray.  Donley plays hard nosed with very little prettiness in his game, despite being to produce in most facets.  Rude is a natural street fighter with skills as a technician.  Rude's ceiling was always a quality interconinental champ that never made the leap to World Champ.  Donley's might be as an All-Tournament team guy.  Whether or not Donley can make the leap to MVP remains to be seen, but the similarities are uncanny, stick.

"Stickman" Ian Van Horne-"Stone Cold" Steve Austin

This was a tough decision, as Bruiser has more similarities to Juventud Guerraro and the other lucha libres than he does Stone Cold.  Since Bruise has taken a pounding so far this offseason, I figured the last thing he needed was a comparison between himself and some lightweight, highflying scrubs that do cute moves and get pounded on by guy's bigger than them.  Bruise and Stone Cold have quite a few similarities when you break it down a little further.  To start, both are world renowned beer drinkers.  They pride themselves on speed, mass consumption, savvy and passion.  Similarly, both take things personal if someone takes a cheap shot at their respected place of birth (JBL angering Austin for supporting Candian beer, Krow/Thompson angering Bruiser for talking trash about Nashville).  Both Austin and Bruiser are known to have a screw loose when pushed far enough and thus, have a tough guy reputation.  Both athletes can double as pretty boys, shown above in Austin's early years when he went by "Stunning" Steve Austin.  Bruise has gained notoriety within the female ranks with his not so bad boy dimples, something that drives the woman wild.  In the ring and on the court, the similarities are spot on.  Neither have an extensive array of moves but make a living on one go to (Austin's stunner and Bruiser's drop step) and a competitive demeanor.
