It's been a long time since we had real name debuts. Gone are the days of John Cena and Randy Orton to be replaced by the likes to Ricky Ortiz, Seth Rollins, Braden Walker and Killian Dain.
So would you prefer if the talent had their real names like Ronda Rousey or have you grown to actually like the NXT name generator?
Is Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns better than for example, Colby Lopez, Jonathan Good and Joe Anoa'i?

It really depends on what your real name is. Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton seem like good names to me

I like the current situation where it’s case-by-case, essentially. Some might get away with keeping their real names, some might have enough notoriety with their pre-existing wrestling name to hold on to it, and everyone else who doesn’t have that notoriety gets new names. It’s not a hard-and-fast “EVERYONE NEW NAMES NOW” thing anymore.

The Shield guys real names aren’t good wrestling names so it just depends on what kind of name the wrestler has and what the name is that they are given.

Daniel Bryan is easier to chant than Bryan Danielson.
I've got no issue with altering or changing names outside of stupid decisions like cutting off first or second names for seemingly no reason. Neville, Elias, etc.

Eh, it depends. Seth Rollins works better than Colby Lopez, and Brock Lesnar works better than whatever he would've been given.

Dean Ambrose > Jon Good Seth Rollins > Colby Lopez Shawn Michaels > Michael Hickenbottom Agreed, but if someone has made a name in another fed, they could let them use that. Would it have been such a big deal to let the first two be Jon Moxley and Tyler Black?

Fun fact: Michael Cole is not Michael Cole's real name.

Would it have been such a big deal to let the first two be Jon Moxley and Tyler Black? Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are still better names. WWE wants to own the names too, so unless some sort of deal is made those names aren’t gonna be used. Besides, numerous people are carrying there names nowadays.

I mean, guys like Dr. Cable Jones and Lift Sawyer are legends in their own right. Yet, nobody actually knows who they are.
Honestly, it doesn't matter. If a f***ing stupid name like Dolph Ziggler can become normalised in our minds, any name will work.

It depends on who they are, but also, I wouldn't really associate the NXT name generator with most of the stuff listed either.
Like, when I think of NXT name generator, I think of shit like Lift Sawyer, Slate Randall, Buddy Stetcher, and Buck Dixon. Give me that prime FCW filth or give me death.

Yeah, Case by case basis. Dean Ambrose > Jon Good Seth Rollins > Colby Lopez Shawn Michaels > Michael Hickenbottom Agreed, but if someone has made a name in another fed, they could let them use that. Would it have been such a big deal to let the first two be Jon Moxley and Tyler Black? I think Rollins is a better name than Tyler Black personally. Dean Ambrose and John Moxley I could go either way but Dean is more unique than Jon.

My personal preference are names that are made up but aren’t just first and last names. Like Sgt. Slaughter, Ultimate Warrior, Honky Tonk Man, etc.

The best FCW-generated name ever was Count Franklin Furter.

Dean Ambrose > Jon Good Seth Rollins > Colby Lopez It should have been Seth Rollins, Dean Roessler and Roman Biscuits. Nice theme there.
