Remember when terrible ring names in developmental were a dime a dozen? "Lift Sawyer", etc? Good times, good times.
I don't think the company's come very far from that era, but there have been noted improvements...anyway, list your favorite and least favorite names.
Good: Kofi Kingston, Bad News Barrett (I like alliteration...)
Ryback, Stardust (They're simple, but memorable.)
Randy Orton (His goverment name, yes, but a very preppy name which makes you think of a douchebag just by hearing it.)
Bad:
Curtis Axel, Seth Rollins (Great surnames, awful given names.)
Rusev, Neville (If two guys needed given names, it's them. "Alex Rusev", at least.)

I think "Blake" and "Murphy" are still pretty bullshit.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Curtis Axel and Seth Rollins (Maybe they should change Curtis back to just Curt now that Hawkins is no longer on the roster)
and I don't mind Rusev either.
Neville I agree with doesn't work on it's own but he doesn't need two names but Neville doesn't work on it's own.
Also I think Big E is one of the worst names on the roster.

I HATE HATE HATE when people just have one of their two names. Just a last name is SLIGHTLY better than just a first name, but it's always stupid. "Sheamus" jesus christ.
Ironically, "Just Joe" avoided this and was a fine name, because it was established as a personality-specific way introduced himself.

Stone Cold Steve Austin was always just called Stone Cold or Austin. They never officially changed his name though.
Imagine the Attitude Era being headlined by "Austin".

Best = Brock Lesnar
That name just sounds like a dude who's going to kill you.
Worst = Cesaro
Sounds like a restaurant. How much is the pasta salad at Cesaro's?

Carlito Caribbean Cool. Seriously, whose last name is an adjective?
As much as it pains me to say it, I will ALWAYS have a hard time with the idea of Dolph Ziggler being treated seriously with that name.

They haven't completely dropped them yet. If they come out for singles matches, they will still be announced as their full name, but the tag team is Blake and Murphy. |
