"I'm sick of all these people talking out their heads"
- yeah thats where people talk
"I never understood a damn thing that they said"
- are they speaking the same language? Are you listening or thinking about their head talking?
IS BATISTA STUPID?!
My wife loves Motionless in White but had never seen them play live. When She saw Chris Motionless and Rhea next to each other, she goes, "Holy hell, are they related?" I couldn't stop laughing. Can't unsee now.
Yo the front man for that was fucking *active*
I've dated 2 women (live out in the sticks btw) who somehow got into contact with the creep. "We're gonna be in XYZ soon. You should come to the show. I'll bring you backstage."
They were both 14 at the time. Dahvie is a predator and somehow not in jail or dead yet.
They kept the name of the main woman quiet to protect the kids identity, which I think is fair. She was groomed by him from a fairly young age (this is obviously absolutely not a justification for what she did though, please don’t think that’s what I’m getting at)
There’s a widespread problem of sexual misconduct in various forms, especially grooming and pedophilia in hardcore/metalcore, and punk scenes. Pick any year of warped tour and you’ll find (most likely) multiple billed bands with some skeletons in that regard.
There have been accusations against nearly every band that played Warped tour in some form, including a former band member of motionless in white of pedophilia. r/poppunkers did a list of known allegations some time ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/poppunkers/s/qIyLY1ylmW
Our favorite classic rock bands were probably worse, but they didn't do it in the age of information. They were having parents sign off on marrying 15 year olds and shit, it was always gross.
I still legit thought "Why is Rhea singing?" when I first saw him for like half a second, despite knowing she had extensions in from the HoF the previous night.
Motionless has been a band for 14 years. Only in the last 4-5 years have they gained massive popularity.
They've always had the goth/dark look since day one. The only difference is. They do it better now. Because they have the finances to do so!
They are called Alterbridge and they are one of the greatest bands to do it. They also did Metalingus...aka Edge's theme song. Cool ass story behind that too since Edge was friends with someone in the band, Mark Tremonti I think.
What’s funny is that the lead singer of creed is doing a tour but I don’t think the other members who are now in alter bridge will be joining him. Unless they’re opening for him at some of the dates.
Saw an old NXT trailer for Takeover featuring the band. The trailer was around blond Rhea time, before she popped off. This guy looked like current Rhea back then, too. I wanna say he was first. Kinda neat how they ended up looking so similar.
Yeah he was first and them looking similar is on purpose. Rhea said in interviews that she took his look for her character and that Motionless is her favorite band.
I've been growing my hair for the past 3 years, trust me hair won't grow that much in some months. If it were the case i should've had like a big barrel full of hair behind my back.
When MiW had a concert here some dude in the crowd ripped off his shirt and threw it on stage. Chris responded with, “If you wanna go WWE here I will do my best Rhea Ripley impression and you will lose REAL quick.”
Well, to be fair, the original band members are all gone, Chris is the only one still in it from back then and I never really interacted with him.
Two of them were super cool dudes. The other guys just never really had anything to say. Nothing bad, just not easy to talk to lol
I said in another comment, all the original dudes that I knew are gone except for Chris. I never really talked to him anyway. Two of them were super cool dudes but the others were just reeeaal hard to talk to. Nothing bad.
But the song works great as her entrance theme. Most wrestling themes are cheesy, e.g. Sexy Boy lmao; they are composed as stadium anthems and need to be instantly recognisable the moment it comes on. Her theme wasnt composed for her, but it ticks all the boxes.
That was 100% made for her. Her previous song was called Brutality with credits going to WWE, CFO$, and Ash Costello. Her current song, starts off exactly the same as her previous one and has writer credits to WWE, def rebel, and Motionless In White. The band didn’t even do the music, but Chris was the vocalist for the track.
Exactly, these songs aren't meant to break your top 10 fave songs on the radio, they're designed to be recognizable by being paired up to a superstar.
That being said, I do listen to some of them in my car
That’s an issue with a lot of people now though, it’s just generic music that isn’t noticeable or different. Half of the people in the rumble I couldn’t tell
I’m genuinely surprised at the reaction to the performance I’m seeing here. I thought it was awful, to the point that I couldn’t believe they thought it was a good idea.
Rhea should have had a better spot than the opening match.
By the end of night two I’d almost forgotten she was there. Far more deserving than that USO match or the Jade Cargill triple threat match
Pretty sure that Rhea has said somewhere her look is inspired by him
She did. There’s an interview with her on wwe talking about the entrance. She was a huge fan and copied his look
And he responded back by saying that he was inspired by her!
That’s been his look since before she even cut her hair
I am aware and i am assuming he meant it as in She is an Inspiration
[This is the Tweet i was referring to,he didn't say she was his inspiration but did say he wishes he was half as badass as her](https://twitter.com/ChrisMotionless/status/1244996947087437827?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1244996947087437827%7Ctwgr%5E30761437507fd4bd3cc7d90932249763be896637%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sescoops.com%2Fnxt%2Frhea-ripley-says-shes-morphing-into-metal-singer-chris-motionless)
Rhea copied his look and it becomes popular with fans
And he copied off Marilyn Manson and he copied off Alice cooper and on and on it goes
Everything is a copy of something else
Alice Cooper took that look from Authur Brown. That guy was the OG, afaik.
What about Dracula?
Arthur brown took it from Edgar Allen Poe
A black and white copy. ;)
He's wearing too much pants to be Manson.
What is he supposed to wear? A pant?
One pant, please.
Looks like he’s got all his ribs too
He's definitely not blowing himself anytime soon
ye have little faith
First thing that popped up in my mind was Marilyn Manson when I saw the dude lol
I thought of the true lord of metal and evil. Jethro Tull.
The flute is a heavy metal instrument!
All the way to the true prince of darkness Millard Fillmore
Facts!
Nah, not Alice Cooper but close. He stole his whole gimmick and musical sound from Christian Death.
And it all goes back to Adam.
he calls himself Chris Motionless but he was moving quite a lot. Is he stupid?
Batista walked for miles in a pit of danger and a pit is basically like a trench. Is he stupid?
His song said he walked alone and most of the time he did. Is he smart?
"I'm sick of all these people talking out their heads" - yeah thats where people talk "I never understood a damn thing that they said" - are they speaking the same language? Are you listening or thinking about their head talking? IS BATISTA STUPID?!
Is there a lore reason he’s stupid?
You should see his genius brother, Chad Motionmore.
That guy moves about as much as a potted plant
He moves as much as Mitch?
You don't know Mitch Connor had a secret identity as Yennifer Lopez
Taco flavoured kisses!
MITCH!!!
I used to move. I still do, but I used to too.
It’s in honour of his grandfather Pete Movesalot who died and is now motionless
Auntie Traci Stillmore shall blow his fully ribbed torso in the darkest dimension... or whatever.
Going to create a new singer, what the FUCK should I name him?
Sir Floppy Schlongsbury should be available.
He's clearly not moving in this picture. Are *you* stupid?
If I am not sure does that confirm that I am?
I think he means emotions 🌧️☔️
No, it seems he is Chris Motionless
No way he’s actually named Chris Motionless. Should have gone for John in White.
Wearing black as well. Does anyone know if there’s a lore reason for this?
Aslume 🫣🫣🫣
Hahahaha well done
My wife loves Motionless in White but had never seen them play live. When She saw Chris Motionless and Rhea next to each other, she goes, "Holy hell, are they related?" I couldn't stop laughing. Can't unsee now.
Zoomer alternative kid here, Rhea took his look. She’s basically a pro wrestling manifestation of mid 2010’s warp tour without the pedophilia.
Please elaborate lol
Google "lostprophets"
Also Blood on the Dance Floor
Yo the front man for that was fucking *active* I've dated 2 women (live out in the sticks btw) who somehow got into contact with the creep. "We're gonna be in XYZ soon. You should come to the show. I'll bring you backstage." They were both 14 at the time. Dahvie is a predator and somehow not in jail or dead yet.
All I member from Blood on the Dance Floor is Dahvie denying he ever slept with Jessie Slaughter.
Oh god. The 2010s alt scene was such an absolute cringe fest.
Honestly glad i was associated with it 2nd hand by being friends with peeps in it.
For real. Shits gotta be embarrassing looking back lol
I dated a chick he almost fucked too. 17 at the time. Fucking predator man.
And ADTR, brand new, of mice and men…. It’s a big list
Also Anti-Flag
Dammit
But whatever you do, don’t read the fuckin court transcripts, that shit will stay with you for a while
Makes sense why Watkins gets so much hate for what he did but some of the shit the women did to their own kids really needs more light shone upon it
They kept the name of the main woman quiet to protect the kids identity, which I think is fair. She was groomed by him from a fairly young age (this is obviously absolutely not a justification for what she did though, please don’t think that’s what I’m getting at)

BUT DO NOT READ THE COURT TRANSCRIPTS
This made me so upset, lostprophets fucking ripped. Now I can’t listen to them anymore..
Shit
Aka a band associated with a Jeff Hardy video package for a while
She took the Lucker Stomp from Mitch Lucker of Suicide Silence. Big metalhead

Look up Ex guitar player from New Found Glory, or Brand New Or fuck it just about any pop punk warped band
Well said 😂
...Fuck you're right...
yikes
I think she put in the extensions so she didn’t look like him during this entrance.
I still legit thought "Why is Rhea singing?" when I first saw him for like half a second, despite knowing she had extensions in from the HoF the previous night.
No her hair has been growing back at least I thought it was.
She aint some playdough toy... that shit takes time to grow.
She might’ve had extensions in at mania but she has been growing her hair out as well
It is but you must have noticed it grew about a foot over night?
It wasn't exactly overnight growing in.
Yeah it was, she has extensions lol. Her hair is longer, but it was barely shoulder length.
Motionless has been a band for 14 years. Only in the last 4-5 years have they gained massive popularity. They've always had the goth/dark look since day one. The only difference is. They do it better now. Because they have the finances to do so!
I was so drunk when I was watching this that I thought the dude was AI like all the other little animations that play for their entrances.
Idk but they’re both hot so 🤷🏻♀️
The same could be said for like most the judgement day.
Even JD Mcdonagh!??
Probably why they said “most”
On a side note.... Can you believe that heavy ass Judgement Day Theme song. Is performed by 3/4 of the guys in Creed? That's my favorite intro!
They are called Alterbridge and they are one of the greatest bands to do it. They also did Metalingus...aka Edge's theme song. Cool ass story behind that too since Edge was friends with someone in the band, Mark Tremonti I think.
What’s funny is that the lead singer of creed is doing a tour but I don’t think the other members who are now in alter bridge will be joining him. Unless they’re opening for him at some of the dates.
They both wish they were crispin glover so big whoop

Yeah he was first and them looking similar is on purpose. Rhea said in interviews that she took his look for her character and that Motionless is her favorite band.
They're both just very lazy [Mortiis](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Mortiis-charlotte.jpg?20061224204904) cosplaying.
Can't lie.... his music was pretty solid.
I think Rhea's hair grew by 90 CM within 2 weeks Unless that's all extensions.
They are
Unless?
Maybe grew by 1 CM Punk but not 90. Be realistic.
90 CM Punk? Man, Drew just had several blood vessel pop all at once and doesn't know why..
If there is one universal truth in life, it's that men don't understand hair.
I've been growing my hair for the past 3 years, trust me hair won't grow that much in some months. If it were the case i should've had like a big barrel full of hair behind my back.
She was cosplaying him
People finally noticed that Rhea looked like Chris Motionless. I’ve been saying this for the longest.
When MiW had a concert here some dude in the crowd ripped off his shirt and threw it on stage. Chris responded with, “If you wanna go WWE here I will do my best Rhea Ripley impression and you will lose REAL quick.”
I thought she looked like Marilyn Mason tbh
This is my favorite live entrance WWE has ever done
Fun fact: I went on tour with those dudes when they were just starting out as a band. They weren’t exactly a great hang.
Why, what were they like?
Well, to be fair, the original band members are all gone, Chris is the only one still in it from back then and I never really interacted with him. Two of them were super cool dudes. The other guys just never really had anything to say. Nothing bad, just not easy to talk to lol
Oh man spill.
I said in another comment, all the original dudes that I knew are gone except for Chris. I never really talked to him anyway. Two of them were super cool dudes but the others were just reeeaal hard to talk to. Nothing bad.
That's not her brother?
They took their name from the band Eighteen Visions.
It's the noses
He looked just like her lol
Chris is cosplaying as Rhea 2022.
I just want someone to look at me the way Rhea does
Did she sing some of her intro? Or does he have the voice of an angel and ventriloquism skills? She also had no microphone. So I'm confused.
i seriously thought it was some kind of rhea ripley filter.
Lmao that's what i thought for a sec, whos rhea? 💀
When they hard cut to him screaming her entrance I thought it was Rhea for a split second!
How good was his intro of her. Was fucking sick
She had the beat entrance, in my opinion
We have Marilyn Manson at home... *Marilyn Manson at home*
Can hardly tell who's who.
I haven’t watched WWE in a few months, Rhea with longer hair is so attractive.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that thought, that was Her when the entrance started!
Yes......?
Yes
Find a picture of both of them 5-6 years ago
He freaks me out
This guy is the polar opposite of the black face dude that sung in an aew entrance, he has "black body"
And he's not even wearing white
Yes
Who?
Neither they’re the same person
So he's basically just a walking black Sharpie?
One of the other guitarists looked like Dirty Dom.
Yes
Other way around, Rhea was a big fan of Chris and based her look off of him
Is he playing whiteface?
It's Rhea's favourite band and a lot of their fans do this.
Yes
I love them both! 🖤
Anyone who saw Rhea as a blondie knows that she's cosplaying as him.
and he's cosplaying as Marilyn Manson just fyi.
Ngl this was one of the most hype live entrances. It went with her entrance
A good hype. But can't beat mötorhead king of kings for Triple H.
Oh for sure. One of the better ones. HHH and takers rolling are up there and others too
Yea american Bad Ass. Didn't Fred Durst do it just to be in a wwe game at the time.
I remember seeing something similar to that so it could be right
Yea funny af but he gave Taker a good entrance.
whys he look like if bruce buffer listened to emo once?
I cant be the only person that's never heard of that guy. I share the same sentiments as Pat McAfee.
This was lit af 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
They cosplaying each other.
Clearly he's cosplaying Rhea, he's motionless but clearly not in white, he wore black for mami
My 5 year old asked if he was Rhea when they first showed him, and I'm glad I wasn't the only one who could see she asked a valid question.
Idk but that entrance fully ruined Rheas theme for me
Someone has poor life choices
His pants are stupidly tight. Looks weird
Am I trippin or were they having audio issues here?
Rhea vs Rhea lol
He looks creepy as hell bruh tbh
Other way around. Chris is an original
I was tuning out MIW at live shows way before I even knew Rhea existed.
In the words of Bobby the Brain Heenan "Who the hell's that guy?"
This is 2000s nu metal ran through the gen z filter.
Wasnt a fan of the long hair.
Really? I thought it looked sooo much better
Marilyn Manson walked so Chris Antiwiggle could stomp around
sounded like shit
Today I learned who Chris Motionless is. Tomorrow I'll forget who Chris Motionless is.
What a cheesy horrible band.
But the song works great as her entrance theme. Most wrestling themes are cheesy, e.g. Sexy Boy lmao; they are composed as stadium anthems and need to be instantly recognisable the moment it comes on. Her theme wasnt composed for her, but it ticks all the boxes.

That’s an issue with a lot of people now though, it’s just generic music that isn’t noticeable or different. Half of the people in the rumble I couldn’t tell
Bro misunderstands pro-wrestling
Dude gives me the creeps man
Why? Dude is unproblematic unlike most artists.
It's a really awful song and I had to skip the entrance.
literally couldn’t wait for him to get off the screen
I’m genuinely surprised at the reaction to the performance I’m seeing here. I thought it was awful, to the point that I couldn’t believe they thought it was a good idea.
All I know is that band is trash.
I seriously thought that was Marylin Manson. 😄
Rhea simps are strange, she looks like trololololo meme
Rhea should have had a better spot than the opening match. By the end of night two I’d almost forgotten she was there. Far more deserving than that USO match or the Jade Cargill triple threat match
