Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 2, 2011 Daniel Bryan. Sin Cara. Jinder Mahal. Zack Ryder. Ezekiel Jackson. Wade Barrett. Power of sh*t*. Sin Cara is a cracking name. So is Zack Ryder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Zack Ryder is a cracking name. . Â I seem to remember when Ryder and Hawkins were first given those names this forum went crazy because they were two generic shit names that were seemingly randomly chosen, much like nearly all FCW names. Now everyone here loves Ryder, regardless of his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I guess it's partially because there's been a million and one worse names since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I always thought America's Most Wanted had the shittest names. "Wildcat" Chris Harris and "Cowboy" James Storm both sound like they came out of a random wrestler name generator and the team name sounds so generically shit, it sounds like a couple of kids in an efed.

Wendell Cooley Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake. Sounded gay when I was 7, sounds gay when I'm 28.  You were concerned about the homosexual connotations of a wrestler's name when you were 7 years old? I suspect this is twaddle. It wasn't even something I considered when I first started watching wrestling. Of course now it sounds like a name geared towards the gays, but I doubt any kids in the 80's thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell Cooley Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 A more intersting question, though, is how much Vince deliberately marketed to homos - he must've been aware of the appeal of beefcakes in knickers rolling around together, given his fascination with the super-gay body-building culture - I reckon he camped it on purpose in order to target those with deviant lifestyles. I mean, look at the Big Bossman. It's pure Village People, innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barley Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Puke. This name/gimmick didn't come to fruition thankfully. If you've seen Beyond The Mat then you'll know what I'm on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Cooley Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 There's no way you thought the word 'beefcake' had anything to do with faggotry at such a tender age. I pooh-pooh your statement, sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
