Craig H Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Triple H became a nickname for Hunter Hearst Helmsley at least and it stuck. I'm not sure what Oney Lorcan is supposed to be. And this will sound extremely shallow, but could you ever imagine hearing the announcer say, "WWE Intercontinental Champion...ONEY LORCAN!" or "WWE World Heavyweight Champion...ONEY LORCAN!" Like I said though, that's super shallow, because I could imagine each of those for Shinsuke Nakamura. I think it will just take some time to get used to it, but it's definitely one of the weirder names in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trocar Slush Weasel Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Everybody talking about Girard coming up with the name and bringing it to the office. But they also had to approve that name. So, we have multiple people fucking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madsplash Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Is it pronounced "Owny" or "Woney"? I'm not trying to jump on the "That Thing You Do" reference, I really don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 In regards to the name thing - I think Mark was referring to the story that Summer Rae told that her original name was like Karly or Kristy or someting like that and Dusty heard it was like "NO WAY! YOU ARE A SUMMER!" and then called the office and told them that her name was being changed. There are so many random stories of NXT names right now. Like Nia Jax randomly tweeted this this morning (in reference to Hugo Knox) Which from the story that was with that Tweet Quote The creation of the name Hugo Knox “I wish I could tell you a good story about that, but a list of names got put in a hat of the names I picked, and we came up with one that stuck...[NXT superstar] Nia Jax likes to say she came up with it, but I don’t think she did,” he chuckled. No credit for Nia? “I’m not giving her any credit whatsoever.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And possibly the name of an adult film star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably argue that the best women's wrestling names are essentially the same as the best porn names. I should probably stop typing this on my work computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
