Stupid as hell taking away the name of someone actually on the roster for a non-wrestler, but I'll grant WWE did the exact same thing with Helms.

That is pretty bad. At one point, WWE had John Cena, John Lauranitis, John Morrison and Johnny Curtis. Let's not forget Chris Jericho, Chris Nowinski and Chris Benoit. Michael Tarver, Michael McGillicutty, Michael Cole. I mean, that's ridiculous.
It's almost as bad as when Magnus lost his first name. Brutus Magnus is a bad ass name.

You make a good point but TNA are never gonna just throw out first names without any visual reference or context anyways. It's not like during an X-Division match Tenay will talk about how "Brooke just won the Knockouts title and we're set to hear from her later on." Commentators usually make a point to let you know who exactly they're talking about when they're talking about them. Besides, we have a Rob Terry, Robbie E, Rob Van Dam. We have a Chris Daniels, Chris Sabin, are they gonna change their names? We have a Bischoff and now we have another Hogan too. Hopefully this is just newz, I just don't see the point in changing your champion's name in the middle of a reign at their most over.

I didn't like the name "Brooke" Tessmacher anyway. She deserves a hotter name. Miss Tessmacher was perfect.

As for Miss Tessmacher: It might be for the better. Every "Brooke sucks!" chant is now clearly directed at She-Hogan, no excuse! I wonder what would have happened with Bubba Ray Dudley if would have kept his name and the Love Sponge showed up...

They're gonna call her Tess?
Please tell me she starts doing the Tess-mission and the T-Bone Tess-plex!

According to ewrewtlingnews, Brooke Tessmacher will no longer be referred to as Brooke. This is because Brooke Hogan is in the company and Hulk did not want two Brookes in the company. From now on, she will likely be referred to as Tess.

f*** Brooke Hogan's ugly ass. I'll still call her Brooke Tessmacher and call Hogan, Drag Queen Glenda. This is soooooooooo f***ed up...yet I couldn't help but laugh at it.

Clearly the logical choice is to change her name to Garrison.

She could call herself Phil Dorchester for all I care. As long as she keeps that wonderful, sumptuous looking buttocks that I could eat a stack of pancakes off of, then that's all I care about.

You do realize that I was talking about on TV as opposed to in text, right? Not being sarcastic, just wondering.

Tess. Really. Just when you think TNA can't do anything dumber, they always have to prove you wrong. Also, I know I'm not the only one who is going to hear Tazz instead of Tess and thing they're talking about the Ooompa Loompa.

didnt Steiner just predict this would happen? Technically, he predicted that Brooke Tessmacher would be called Miss Tessmacher because Hogan wanted it so. Which is, of course, wrong, since she was already called that way when she debuted, and only got her Brooke first name later. My guess is ewrestlingnews saw the Steiner tweet, and thought it would make for a great newz... with a few minor changes.

They are gonna have to change either Hulk's or Brooke's last name then too. Can't have 2 Hogan's in the same company, everyone will be confused. Especially since they look damn near identical.

Brooke Hogan should have to change her name. Tessmacher was here first.
Tess is okay - but I think they should just call her Ms. Tessmacher like in Superman. Then have pair her with AA doing a Lex Luthor bit.

I actually prefer the name "Tess" to "Brooke", I remember a spin cycle a while back, when she was still just 'Miss Tessmacher' and Desmond Wolfe kept calling her Tess/Tessy and I liked it then too, however I don't like the sound of Tess Tessmacher, so I hope her last name is dropped if her first name is indeed changed.

Win title. Change name.
I was wondering how long it would take TNA to do something stupid after the great showing at Slammiversary.
