Then what's wrong with calling him... wait for it... RICH YOUNG?
I know it's pretty 'out there' and crazy for a person to use their real name.

I would have loved it if they kept the name Atlas DaBone. Half this guy's appeal was from saying his name.

Ricky Ortiz? Fine. Sounds decent enough. I liked Atlas Ortiz, but if they are going to use Tony Atlas, I guess his seniority comes into play.
Evan Bourne? Awesome. I actually like it better than Matt Sydal.
Braden Walker? This is where I get angry. He's "Wildcat" Chris Harris, dangit. Some names just shouldn't be changed. Not to mention the fact that as already noted, that singlet is a crime. I don't know if they WANTED to make him look like a total jobber or what, but that needs to change, and quick.
I understand WWE's need to trademark names, but man, I swear that's one thing TNA manages to do better than WWE.

braden walker sounds like some privelage kid off "laguna beach" or some wank like that. chris harris needs a MAN name, like lance uppercut, or handsome B wonderful, or... wait for it... MAX POWER!

Its WWE's way of making sure these guys don't make money off their wrestling persona after they leave WWE. Pretty smart IMO.

Simply put, they want to own the rights to the name. And the wrestlers are smart enough now not to let WWE buy their ring names now after the Dudleyz debacle.
I just think that the WWE is horrible at picking new names. It's like they have a bad name generator there (with the exception of Borne, which now opens us up to a lot of great Borne Conspiracy cracks.)
Also, how hilarious would it have been if they had names Harris "James Storm"?

Rich Young isn't really a marketable name. And Braden Walker is? Braden Walker is even less marketable.

I can see the backstage promos now: Max: Boys, in WWE, there's three ways to do things. The right way, the wrong way, and the MAX POWER way! Josh Matthews(or whoever the hell does backstage interviews now): Isn't that just the wrong way? Max: Yes, BUT FASTER!

For some reason, I have a feeling that Cabana "pulled a Punk" and sold his name to WWE.

It's funny how they do this selectively. CM Punk is still...CM Punk, yet they change Sydal's name to Evan Bourne. His real name isn't Matt Sydal, it's Matt Korklan so it's not a real name thing.
I would mark if they brought in Samoa Joe but debuted him as Frank Evans.

It that's true, I hope it doesn't come back to crack him in the skull(Fix as needed for Coletitude).
