When War Machine Met MMMBop

Mmm….hey wait a minute. Earlier this year, NXT landed a pair of monsters with the tag team War Machine. The team, comprised of Hanson and Rowe, have been a force on the independent circuit, winning both the Ring of Honor and New Japan Tag Team Titles. They’re a pair of bruisers, but for some reason one of them is being confused with a trio of pop singers.

As shown in the series of tweets below, a number of Twitter accounts have mistaken Hanson, whose Twitter handle is “Warbeardhanson” with that of the band Hanson (of MMMBop fame). Hanson the wrestler has commented on the issue, which has taken place on multiple accounts. The band has yet to comments. Here are the tweets:

For those of you who haven’t seen Hanson, here’s a very quick look at him:

11/22 - 11/23/14 Ring of Honor TV Preview - HANSON vs AJ STYLES

Opinion: This is one of those things where it’s almost impossible to not chuckle. Sure it’s goofy, but that’s kind of the point. Hanson’s reaction is about all you can expect, as you would think seeing the words WAR BEARD in the Twitter handle should be quick the giveaway. It’s a funny enough moment and that’s all it should be.

Are you looking forward to War Machine in NXT? Who do you want to see them feud against? Let us know in the comments below.
