Dude isn't a patch on his father, so who cares.
...but even so, McGillicutty is such an awful, awful name. I mean, if I were in charge of a wrestling company and someone from creative pitched a name like that to me, for anyone, let alone the son of Mr Perfect, I would fire them where they stood.

They have come up with some awful sounding names lately, Dolph Ziggler, Husky Harris, McGillicutty are obvious ones. I really didn't like Daniel Bryan at first, but actually it is working very well. In a way it is short of like Shawn Michaels, it does sound better than his real name. Ziggler is certainly one of the worst, but he is making it work, especially with his character. I still hate Husky Harris that is just awful, why didn't they just call Dusty, Round Rhoades when he came to the WWF in 1989? Everytime I hear McGilicutty it just reminds me of the cheap liquor. I think if they want people to take him seriously they should just let him be Joe Hennig. Everyone knows he is Curt's son, why did Cody and Ted Dibiase get to keep their names? Husky Harris not being Rotundo makes some sense, since his grandfather was Blackjack Mulligan and his father gained his fame in the WWF as IRS, but they could have atleast given him a better name.

It's like when Austin was the Ringmaster, and he was trying to come up with a new persona, and creative came up with terrible temperature based names like Ice Dagger and Chilly McFreeze. And he knew that a character with a name like that would never, ever get over. Chilly McFreeze would have sold out arenas all across the world. 9.0 Raw ratings every week thanks to his 'cool' personality. Only weakness? Inferno matches.

Honestly Ziggler's the only guy who's been able to take a shitty name and work with it, and if it had been anybody else it wouldn't have worked.
McGillicutty is a TERRIBLE NAME. It's just awful. It's too many syllables, it's too hard to spell (and I'm still not convinced I'm spelling it right), it's impossible to chant, and it just sounds stupid. The only saving grace is the term "McGillibuddies".
I don't give a shit if they don't call him Hennig or Perfect. Just freaking pick something else for the love of all that's holy.

They should rename him "Average" Joe Hennig.
"I am NOT an Average Joe!" *misses 2 pointer*

I'm glad to hear people share my sentiments, not that I expected anyone to disagree of course!

I geniunely like the name Michael McGillicutty. I think it has a good ring to it. The only negative in my opinion is that it's ignoring his obvious family name.

I'm still waiting for Dolph Ziggler to be renamed, now that he's actually establishing himself as a guy with potential to move up the ranks. "The Natural" Nick Nemeth? Sounds much better IMO. He'll never get beyond mid card as Dolph Ziggler, though it is memorable and does stand out.

You really can't compare Dolph Ziggler with all of these FCW mad libs names. He's named after a real person ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Ziegler) and it ties into his entrance theme and persona. Whether you dig the name or not, there's actual thought and character behind it. Like someone else mentioned, McGillicutty will be repackaged if/when they ever decide to use him as something other than a jobber. I'm surprised they stuck with it for so long, frankly. And to whoever said he should use the McGillicutter as a finishing move, that is actually the name of his finisher. It's a swinging neckbreaker.

I always thought his name was a play on Dirk Diggler from Boogie Nights.

McGillicutty is by far the worst possible last name you can give a wrestler that isn't shared by a brutal dictator or one of those Eastern European last names that nobody would ever get in "Wheel of Fortune" due to the lack of vowels and excessive usage of the letter z.
