Fine with the catchphrase, but I've been saying since he started in FCW that Dean Ambrose is a dreadful name. Well Jon Moxley wasn't all that intimidating a name to begin with, so... I think Jon Moxley is quite a good name actually. Reasonably strong plain first name, two syllable surname, an x for a bit of spice, nothing wrong with it at all. I think it is telling that Seth Rollins is Tyler Black's default name in my head. Claudio Castagnoli is still Claudio, but I think that's more because it's a cute name, and Mr Antonio Cesaro is definitely creeping in. But Jon Moxley is emphatically Jon Moxley, in the same way Michael McGillicutty is Joe Hennig to me. It just will not stick for me. I don't have a problem with Ziggles' name because it's a rather ridiculous name for a cocky bleached blonde perfectionist. It's a bit 80s movie action star-ish and suits the character. But Dean Ambrose....that's like an English parish councillor from Berkshire, not a crazy psychopath heel. It makes me think of the Dulux dog or marmalade or many things that aren't remotely threatening. (Fwiw, the Wade in Wade Barrett still makes me giggle as it seems such a not English name, despite the fact he named himself after an English rugby player).

What if they change his name once they debut him on screen? I mean, before Alberto Del Rio was Alberto Del Rio, he was happy babyfaced Alberto Banderas in FCW.

That's a possibility, sure, but this guy is creating enough buzz that I could see them keeping the Dean Ambrose name. At first I wasn't in love with the name myself, but at this point I couldn't care less what his name/catchphrase, etc. is. I'm a fan already just from the one promo and two matches I've seen. I can't wait to see what he does once he gets to Raw or Smackdown.

umm, why did this turn into a "DAT NAME SUCKZ" thread? Dean Ambrose sounds like a foul-mouthed British psychopath to me anyway
