In the Bloc Party's promo, Mr. Azerbaijan complains about people treating them like degenerates and outlaws. That is a reference to how their gimmicks were based on members of the WWE faction DeGeneration X. Mr. Azerbaijan is based on "Badass" Billy Gunn (Monty Sopp), who also was referred to as "Mr. Ass," and Azerbaijan's unofficial nickname was "Mr. Azz." The Proletariat Boar of Moldova was intended as the "Road Hogg," based on "Road Dogg" Jesse Jammes (Brian James). and Dogg and Gunn were known as the New Age Outlaws. Prakash Sabar represents Georgia via Pakistan, and is thus an "ex-Pak," playing off of Sean Waltman's X-Pac character.
