    The "Truck"?

    Why is it called The Truck? Most of the 10p names make sense, but this one leaves me clueless.

    It's the road to the twister with a lot of pit stops at different submissions. That's been my impression anyway.

    I always thought it was because of the versatility of the position....the analogy being that a truck is more versatile than other vehicles (i.e. you can haul stuff in the bed, you can take it off road, etc.). I'm probably wrong though lol

    Just as there are different entries, there are different interpretations of the meaning I imagine. Such is the mystique of The Truck.

    I think I heard on a podcast that it's something to with the backstage production truck at the UFC back when Eddie used to work there. Lots of things different screens and buttons i.e. options and paths.

    Can anyone confirm?

    Pan is right I believe. Its called the truck because the motions looked similar to what they did in a production truck, pulling down leavers etc.

    Because food trucks have amazing food gets my vote. No, I'm probably not right outside of the delicioiusness of food truck cuisine. Cheat day food anyone?
