I usually call him McChicken, just for the sake of simplicity. Also, because his personality resembles that of a dried-out, boring $1 sandwich from a fast food establishment. Oh, poor Michael McLagenBaggen... One thing I will never understand is an angle where a legendary has-been buries a current talent that is already having enough trouble getting over as it is! I mean, what more does Jerry Lawler need to accomplish in the wrestling world? Was "ruin an up-and-comers career" on the check-list before retirement?
I'm sure McDoogleburger can mount a full come-back. After all, he's got such "great in-ring skills" and "huge potential" since he's the son of a former legend! Do you know what son of a former legend has good, proven in-ring skill? Either of the Uso boys! At least we've seen good matches from them, unlike McBrokeback! Literally all I've seen from him is a half-dozen lackluster matches with Brotunga attached at his hip. Where are these hidden tapes showcasing the illustrious ring work of Michael McBadbat?
But if you want him to be taken seriously, he needs a name change. Joe Hennig might sound more vanilla than a McFlurry (see what I did there?), but at least I'd have to try harder to bastardize it...
Brotunga? Are you a mcbigot? lol Was Buelah McGilicutty any less hot because her two names were stupid? I don't like Joe Hennig either but they could always call him Mr. Perfect Jr. or Curt Hennig Jr. He could simply just be Mr. Perfect. How much did having a father's or forerunners name hurt Mysterio, Dos Caras jr. (Alberto del Rio), or El Hijo del Santo, or Carlito?
It's basically broken down into three catogories. Guys who benefitted from their father's name, those who faltered because of expectations, and those who just remained stationary.
I think the Windhams benefitted from Blackjack Mulligan, I think Rey Mysterio benefitted from his uncle, I think Eddie and Chavo both benefitted from their fathers and the Guerrero surname. I think in Carlito's home turf he benefitted from Carlos Colón Sr.
Shawn Stasiak pretty much went up and down in his career just based on his performance. Stan "the Man" Stasiak's career did not effect his and I don't recall Shawn ever being called the son of a WWWF champion.. I think people hinted at Brian Christopher being Jerry Lawler's son but it did not help or hinder him. Probably got him the job and daddy trying to make up for child hood blunders probably stoved off a few releases but it was all on him to remain a float. Rikishi is not effecting the Uso's out either. David Hart-Smith did not benefit from the Hart family or being British Bulldog's son. Natalya had to shine on her own and has. Goldust did well for himself, in the WWF he did better then his father, in WCW/The NWA not so well, in WCW he was horrid his last tenure.
David Sammartino, "THE NATURAL" DUSTIN RHODES", David Flair, Greg Gagne, and to an extent Ted DiBiase Jr. and maybe his brothers are probably going to be hurt by DiBiase Sr.'s legacy because they did not have the capacity to handle a direct persona and character transplant.. But the guys above have no contemporary relevence and I feel its a tired and no longer accurate statement that having a legendary dad will destroy your career. Plus its going to be WWE'S JOB to explain who the new wrestler's relatives are and they have to re-establish the parent or grand parent's impact. WWE can do that in a way not to overwhelm the rookie's star power..
P.S. The Green Ranger was not fundementally evil he was just of ambiguous origins as far as his powers went. Eitherway it was all just a scheme to make the dumb White Ranger the new popular boss. Shit I got the point when they reissued Tommy the vest and the fancy arm bands lmao
