Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I do think a name can be important for example one of the many planned names for Stone Cold Steve Austin was Chilly Mcfreeze and The Rock went by Flex Kavana I really couldn't see Wrestlemaina begin headlined by Chilly Mcfreeze vs Flex Kavana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Reefer Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I do think a name can be important for example one of the many planned names for Stone Cold Steve Austin was Chilly Mcfreeze and The Rock went by Flex Kavana I really couldn't see Wrestlemaina begin headlined by Chilly Mcfreeze vs Flex Kavana  Is Flex Kavana any worse a name than Hulk Hogan?  I had a similar discussion once about band names with a guitarist mate of mine, I was of the opinion that its the quality of the band that got the names over. Deep Purple. Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Fat Boy Slim even. If those bands had never got famous would you see Pink Floyd on a flyer and think...oooh cool name must see them?

The Miz Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Any reason why WWE didn't change the CM Punk name but chose to change Brian Danielson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Any reason why WWE didn't change the CM Punk name but chose to change Brian Danielson? Â From what I gather timing. He debuted on ecw with a very "smart" crowd and paul haymen vouching the for the value of the cm punk name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the name Fatboy Slim has helped contribute to his success, rather than act against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 You get used to most of the the names that appear shit at first. Ziggler is all right. Â And as our good King Pity has pointed out in the past - Hulk Hogan and Macho Man are both shit names, but are owned by probably the most famous and well loved wrestlers ever to live. The man makes the name, not the other way round. Â I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted November 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2011 Dolph Ziggler should be a generic name - what should happen is that Dolph Ziggler should bring in a protege, and tell him that when he was debuting (yeah, redebuting, whatever) he asked to be saddled with the stupidest name ever, and to tell everyone about it (cue footage). He did so because he had always loved Johnny Cash, and appreciated his song "A Boy Named Sue". Therefore, he was going to pass on the mantle of Dolph Ziggler to a new generation, in the hopes that it would be a spur for his success as well. Â At that point, he would book the new Ziggler in a tag match, alongside his other protege, Thomas T. Twatwhistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
