"Daniels"?

[Bub (BLM)]

So after watching Lockdown, I have one question: What happened to Christopher Daniels' first name? The announcers kept calling him just "Daniels", and his entrance video merely said "Daniels". What gives?

[donners]

It's the Kaz treatment. Look how well it worked there.

You didn't think we'd get something as good as Daniels' return without at least a minor negative?

[Sharpy Snow]

Well, as far as I know Christopher Daniels (And on an unrelated note, Curryman) are not allowed back in TNA.

Nothing is said about Daniels.

[ozequal]

Well, at Lockdown when he was coming to the ring, the graphic in the bottom left said "Chris Daniels".

Yeah, I noticed that, but I figured it was just a slip on the part of the guys in the production truck. The broadcasters really seemed to be trying not to say his first name, including David Penzer who announced him as "Daniels".

[ozequal]

Yeah, I didn't notice the tron or anything. I thought the announcing was a botch or something. But AJ kept calling him Daniels as well.

The production guys had a LOT of slips at Lockdown, come to think of it. Beer Money, Inc. are apparently the New Japan Jr. Tag Team Champions.



And so are MCMG, and so are No Limit

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

Roxxi lost her last name, and now Daniels lost his first name.

And meantime, Christopher Laveaux is aimlessly wandering Universal Studios looking for his parents.

So how about Chris Daniels? Or C. Daniels? Or Chraniels?


or...he can really throw them off by changing his name to Chriss Angel.

I really don't understand the problem with calling him Daniels. I personally never cared for Christopher, I always thought he'd be better off saying Daniels or Chris Daniels. Daniels is easier for consumption. Christopher Daniels is 5 sylabels and everyone knows most wrestling fans have a problem with anything more than 4.

I'm pretty sure Lauren called him by his full name during the interview segment. Perhaps it was something they decided on halfway through the show?

[ozequal]

Lauren definitely called him "Chris Daniels" and then just "Daniels."

[George Harrison]

Has this had any form of longevitiy or have you just picked up on this from the Lockdown PPV?

I don't believe there was a problem, just a wonderment. I don't think the amount syllables has anything to do with the fans having a problem with the name.

Stone Cold Steve Austic became just Stone Cold, or Austin.
The Undertaker because 'Taker,
Ultimate Warrior was just The Warrior or Warrior,

It's just the way it is, AJ hasnt had a name change but not it doesn't mean we have to call him AJ Styles every time.

[Tarik Dee]

I think its must be complete, i mean it fits his character

Christopher-CHRIST-Fallen angel.

[skiller]

His TNA profile pic just says 'Daniels'.

I don't know why, but I find it kind of funny.

[i.Sarita.com]

They also said something like "The Former Fallen Angel" on the video intro...so who knows what they're doing with him...
