Swift Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Actually, in terms of awful name paired with even worse gimmick, it's hard to overlook Kerwin White. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningFromAmerica Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 The Kerwin name was a rib on one of their backstage guys at least. I always thought Bam Neely was particularly dreadful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 If only Foley hadn't objected to "Mason the Mutilator"! I can just hear Vince's pronounciation in my head: "MEWWWWWW-tee-lay-TORRRRRRRRR" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 1 hour ago, Eoae said: The worst name discussion has reminded me that Vince once stuck poor Funaki with the monicker "Kung Fu Naki". Ugh. Not sure NXT names are any worse than names in the 90's. Bron Breakker or.... Bastion Booger? Duke "The Dumpster" Droese? Thurman "Sparky Plugg? Puke? Chilly McFreeze (l forgot about him and laughing way too much at the name)? TL Hopper? Arachnaman? Val Venis (allegedly a riff on "my pal penis"), Actually, my vote for worst gimmick name of recent times is probably Shorty G. You missed the most obvious one. BRAKKUS "Ich komme von Deutschland!"

nate Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 1 hour ago, Swift said: Oney Lorcan is definitely a crap name. If you've got a gimmick name that's not immediately obvious how to pronounce, you've come up with a bad name. I can't be the only one who referred to him and fellow black trunks, slaphead Burch as Oney and Twoey, right?

Curt McGirt Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I looked him up and BRAKKUS was in the Brawl for All where Savio beat him up so bad he retired from the injuries later on. Forgot all about that, even though I'm sure they talked about it on Dark Side of the Ring and I probably even watched it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I just saw an old clip of Muhammad Hassan. I completely forgot one of his big moves was a flatliner. The list of people that were assigned to that move in the WWE must be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a house show me and a friend went to back in the day, Brakkus was in the 2nd match facing Billy Gunn (who was Rockabilly at the time). He had no idea how to work face and it took all of 1 minute for the crowd to turn on him and start cheering Billy. Brakkus won with some shitty looking powerbomb. It was only like a 6 minute match but it felt a lot longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair its not like he was going by Regal in the first place. And that is actually a normal sounding name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 But, as in the case of so many 2nd generation talents, why not take advantage of the lineage and history associated with the "family" name?? It just seems so stupid to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Z Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 WWE notes: WWE stock up to 55.00. Gonna need the upcoming Saudia Show to boost the stock upwards. WWE filed to trademark “Big Time Becks”. BTB for short. Malik Blade trained by D-von will debut on this weeks 205. Seems WWE is slowly turning 205 into a "Main Event" style show for NXT.

odessasteps Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Its one thing in the old days where you could give a kid a new name until he was ready for a push. Cats out of the bad on that idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
