What in there made you change your mind about Waluigi? XD

Because while I had heard the reason for his name, I still felt it was kind of stupid. I hadn't know that Wario used the exact same reason, only his actually name actually works in English as well.

Also, I didn't know the Wrecking Crew connection.
