What is up with these names?

[Magic Mark]

Complaining is something I try not to do on a regular basis, but I recently looked at the NXT page on WWE.com, and I have to admit, these wrestlers have some of the stupidest names I have ever seen. Just look at this list...

- Enzo Amore
- Jason Jordan
- Judas Devlin
- Knuckles Madsen
- MEMO FUCKING MONTENEGRO!!!!
- Mojo Rawley
- Sylvester Lefort
- Travis Tyler
- Dante Dash

Who in the blue hell names there kid Memo? I know that they're trying to make them different but come on! This is down right ridiculous!

And while I'm here, these guys dress horribly. Mis-matching boots, only a couple of them are wearing kickpads, and two of them have hideous tattoos all over there legs, and they wear trunks (plain black ones at that)!!!! Where did they get these people? A local indy show? $5 Wrestling? This is sickening!

So, enough of me complaining, what do you think of the NXT roster names/attires?

Im not saying they suck, it's just that they need a better name (or new gear).

I dont know Enzo Amore seems like an interesting name and fits him if his NXT profile picture is any indication. He looks like a bit flamboyant creepy dude.

there is a reason they arent called up right away, im sure most will have a gimmick change at somepoint

Give a developmental talent a name this isn't the catchiest in the world, and WWE doesn't have to worry about any conflicts with that name if the talent doesn't catch on, or even better, they get to keep it if the talent does.

We have a guy named Dolph Ziggler regularly featured on WWE TV, too. That's the worst of the lot, and yet we got used to it.

I disagree with the original post.The only name in that list that doesn't sound that interesting is Jason Jordan. FYI, the name Memo is rather common in hispanic culture.

It is? Name 3 well known Hispanic celebrities/people with the name Memo and then I'll take my comment back.

Jason Jordan and Travis Tyler are the absolute worst on there IMO. How incredibly bland. Those are names you forget the instant after you hear them

It's not even just the specific names that they selected. It's the whole First Name - Last Name format. They need to mix it up a little bit. Some of those first names aren't bad - Judas is fine but the name that comes after it is so crap

I haven't checked out the attire but if they are all really just wearing black trunks then yeah that isn't helping matters

I know this isn't a celebrity but my uncle's name is Memo. And it's a totally nondescript normal name in Costa Rica where I'm from.

I thought the reason they make such shitty names is so WWE can trademark them.

 

[info62]

^ They're only allowed to trademark crappy names?

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

They indeed are crappy names.. They are not catchy, I mean I'm not really hoping to one day hear "YOUR NEW WWE CHAMPION JASON JORDAN"... Enzo Amore is cool though, it can be suitable to be Fandango's tag partner.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Never heard of any of them. Are these the jobbers they bring in once a month to lose to the actual stars of NXT?

 

[The Dragon Saga]

I have a life and don't over-analyze things all that much, so I really couldn't care.

But what about KASSIUS OHNO?! It's not like Hero came up with that name himself... oh, wait.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Knuckles Madsen sounds like a shit fat wrestler from the UK in the 70s

Mojo Rawley is also terrible. NXT is full of shit ring names

 

[ヒュー　G.　レックション]

Unique names yes. Since they're so absurd no man would have those names in real life

 

[keehlnate]

CM Punk is the shittiest name I've heard but it doesn't matter
