Doog Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Where did the one name phase start?! I know there was a few in the past but it seems the lastfew years WWE have gone mental with it. Â Rusev, Cesaro and Neville sound a lot better with there first names. All the big stars of the past have 2 names - Goldberg probably the only exception but even he was called Bill Goldberg a a fair bit. Â As above it does concern me we'll have Balor vs Zayn headlining in years to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 3, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2016 To be held in Helsinki, of course. Very good  Neville is a horrific name. Adrian Neville wasn't exactly great, but you could live with it. I actually cringe whenever they announce Neville. It's just a really shit unfashionable first name, isn't it? It's like calling him Colin. The Man That Gravity Forgot, Colin. Colin Wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I was playing WWE 2K16 earlier, and the wife said he looked a roidy Mr Tumnus. We then started playing a game where she said the first that came to mind when she saw each characters picture. I was disappointed that Batista wasn't identified as Drax, but rather was "Chiseled Phil Mitchell", Santino was "Karl Pilkington...but happy" and Brock Lesnar was "bare-knuckle fighting gypsy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handspants Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 They should've called him Gary Philson or something. Â I bet JBL probably suggested that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like calling him Colin. The Man That Gravity Forgot, Colin. Colin Wanker. Yeah, when I heard it I had to assume that it didn't have the same connotations of lameness over there because it's not a common name. Colin would be worse because Americans can't even pronounce it properly. It was ages before I saw it written down and realised the guy wasn't called 'Colon Powell'.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2016 They definitely should have dropped Adrian. It's a fucking accountants name - not a wrestler. But just leaving Neville is awful. He should have lobbied to be Who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big7thletter Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Kung Fu Naki is a sure number 1.... how did it not make the list also, Zeb Colter... Really.... Really....... REALLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2016 Kung Fu Naki was awesome! I can understand why you mentioned it, but I loved it. The gimmick didn't really outstay its welcome either, unlike Santino's cobra gimmick. Â What's wrong with Zeb Colter? I think it's a decent name.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah, please explain why you think Zeb Colter is a bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2016 Always thought Test had a naff ring name. Probably moreso that I was at school at the time he was first in WWF and associated the name with exam tests. Â I still don't understand what they were going for with "Test." It's neither an actual name nor cool enough a word to make a good nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kung Fu Naki the gimmick made me chuckle... but the name was horrendous even for comedy purposes. And Zeb Colter sounds like a name for a dragon humping spotty-faced 14 year old boy's avatar name on World of Warcraft or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted January 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2016 I love the way they snuck Justin Credible in there, which was his own idea & he still uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
