'War Machine' Legally Changes Name to 'War Machine'

Now he can have a cool fight nickname like "Todd" or something.

"And in this corner.... wearing the pink trunks..... War "Todd" Maaachiiiinne"
Douche.

Umm....awesome.

I wish I didn't have the responsibilities I have that I could just change my name to something as cool and ridiculous.

I'd probably pick Wind Feet...it's noble, mystic and downright cool.

Yours truly,

Wind Feet

I was always partial to Chest Rockwell... you know the guy from Boogie Nights.
Now that was a great name!

War "Jon Koppenhaver" Machine!

Douchelusional.

COOL!! I wanna change my name to Shea Vinabusch!! get it??? lol

I can hear it now,

Bruce Buffer…

Fighting out of California, War “War Machine” Machine!!!!!!!!!!

+1 lol, exactly what I was thinking.

Is it just me or does Jon not look like the alien from the movie Alien Mine?

yeah thats true NNT, he will still do his thing, like lose, whine, and act like a complete dumbass, now luckily for you ,his ONLY fan ,he will do it with a cool name that you can suck his nutz over. congrats your a lammo.

and his tat's, are ridiculously stupid just like him...what a surprise.

I hope he moves to the phillipnes and gets some sexual jungle rot, and his dick falls off then he can change his name to dickless machine.

LOL Tell War Machine to send Rhino a potted plant. War will love the look on Rhino's faggot face when he sees it.

In all fairness.. This guy said he's been using the name for about 6 years. Rhino has been wrestling under that name in several promotions for over 10 years. I don't really see the problem with both of them having the name, tho. I don't think anyone would confuse Rhino with that guy. I don't think most people know who either of them are, anyway..

nnt: you're stupid. Wanna know how?

your words:
i find you guys sad… the ones that come on here and talk shit about fighters that work sooo hard every day to be the best. hate on him all you want, he will still do his thing.

now check this:
i find you guys sad… the ones that come on here and talk shit about wrestlers that work sooo hard every day to be the best. hate on him all you want, he will still do his thing.

And you're trying to tell me that just because he's a fighter he demands more respect?
They don't fight as many times as a WWE or TNA wrestlers perform in a year. Wrestler's bodies are more battered and contditioned to take punishment for 5-10
minutes a night, 300+ days days a year (they wrestle more than you see on TV).

Erm, maybe this 'UFC fighter' needs to look up on wrestling history because Rhino from ECW fame held the nickname longer than this tattooed douche who only held it for 6 years. And in all due seriousness, the only fake ass shit I see here is some 'tough guy' wannabe who types worse than a 5 year old with bad use of the capslock button and using LOL. What the fuck. So much for being professional.

If he loses one more fight will he legally get his name changed to "Unemployed"?

Well i got another log of thought to throw on the fire, to quote from the man formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver (Too fuckin’ bad that I have been using this name for 6 years, have it tatted on my body and it is what my fans yell out when I’m fighting.) kinda makes you wonder how many of his fans ever read marvel comics lol anyway here's the point

Paraphernalia
Although Rhodes is no longer active as War Machine, he possesses a prototype copy of the War Machine armor, and once donned one of its gauntlets to grant himself superhuman strength. His old suit of War Machine armor was equipped with jet boots, a laser sword, repulsor rays, energy cannons, a uni-beam, a rocket launcher, targeting computer and scanning devices, and could be modified in the field for additional weapons.

Rhodes briefly wore a suit of Eidolon Warwear armor, a living suit of armor which rested inside of his body, and could encase him at a moment's notice. The armor duplicated many of the abilities of the War Machine armor, including flight, energy blasts and sensors, but could also "grow" drones which could be used for combat and delivery operations and interface with computers. The armor would react to Rhodes' emotional state, transforming itself to provide him with whatever weapons he might desire.

Now seeing as marvel has war machine as a current hero in the line up makes you wonder just how long it will be before they decide to hit the lawsuit ring along with tna(who i'm not really sure that they have a legal leg to stand on ) anyway let the fun begin lol

Why all the hate? Can't we all just enjoy this for what it is. Comedic irony. People are getting wayy to serious here, I think its hilarious that he changed his name to War Machine.

have to agree with Blaze, wrestlers do desserve the most respect as they are getting battered around 300+ days a year.

Who the f*ck is Jon Koppenhaver? Nobody. If he had actually won an actual match, I might actually know who he is. His next fight should be against Brock Lesnar since he wants to make fun of wrestlers. Screw weight class. One time only. Put his money where his mouth is. No, nevermind he is just a UFC jobber. He is bitter because a scrawny punk like him couldn't hack it in wrestling. So he will remain a jobber til Dana and co. get tired of him.

That is one seriously fugly guy. Shoulda changed his name to "turd nose."
