So, his gimmick is that he's Big E. Bundy?

Forget all that, Riley's back!!!! Disappointed that he lost, although it was to Barrett, which isn't all that bad. Wished that that match could've been the "main event", since both of them, especially Barrett, deserve to be higher up than they currently are.

He does his finisher, the ref counts to 3, and then kind of looks at the ref with all 5 fingers up while the crowd chants "One more time!" so he picks up the guy, hits his finisher again, pins the guy, and counts his own 5 count pin while the crowd chants along.

I kind of wish he were a heel with the gimmick. Like he forces the ref to count to five. It would be a good way to put him AND another guy over if he tried to pin a guy for a 5-count, but the plucky underdog face kicks out at 4 and pins him with a fluke roll up. We then see that Big E is a top threat because technically he kept a guy down for three, but only lost because he imposed a handicap on himself.

I hate the name Adrian Neville... PAC might as well kiss his WWE career goodbye because no way is he gonna have a successful career with a name like that. Brett Hart, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Adrian Neville, Ric Flair.... see, it just sticks out like a sore thumb. Wrestling names should be memorable, a bit strange and over the top but not too ridiculous. Adrian Neville is just boring. Sigh It sticks out like a sore thumb because you're just getting used to it. We go through this every time an indy guy gets signed. In a few months, no one will care.

We get these posts every time a popular indy star goes to the WWE and changes their name. As long as WWE gives Adrian a chance to do what he does best he'll be fine. It's not like they named him Oswald Poopypants or something stupid. Personally, I don't like the name PAC. As Mine Führer pointed out, it's too close to X-Pac for the many in the WWE audience. He's better off with a different identity anyway.

Sigh It sticks out like a sore thumb because you're just getting used to it. We go through this every time an indy guy gets signed. In a few months, no one will care. Or it sticks out like a sore thumb because, amongst a sea of good, unique, memorable names it's just so generic. When i hear Adrian Neville I think of a bus driver, not a WWE wrestler. Names shouldn't be stupid like Flash McCrunch but they shouldn't be boring, generic crap either. They should be believable names but unique enough to stand out. We get these posts every time a popular indy star goes to the WWE and changes their name. As long as WWE gives Adrian a chance to do what he does best he'll be fine. It's not like they named him Oswald Poopypants or something stupid. Personally, I don't like the name PAC. As Mine Führer pointed out, it's too close to X-Pac for the many in the WWE audience. He's better off with a different identity anyway. I don't like the name PAC but it can't be too hard to come up with a name that is decent. For the record, some of the Indy name changes I do like. Antonio Cessaro is a much better name than Claudio Castignolli which was a bit of a mouthful to say, Daniel Bryan is a much better name than Brian Danielson... but on the other end of the spectrum there's Chris Hero (a pefect name for a wrestler) becoming Kassius Ohno which just sounds silly. I get why they changed his name but come on, they could at least put some effort in and give him something that stands out from the crowd.

Adrian is fine... Neville is not. What kind of wrestler is named Neville? I would've named him "Pac Neville". Every time I read it I see it as Aaron Neville. Then I think of this:

Wait they let PAC use the f***ing Corkscrew SSP?

Adrian is fine... Neville is not. What kind of wrestler is named Neville? Neville is a common last name in the UK. There's even American soul singer Aaron Neville. I'll beat this to death but its the same as anything -- what kind of last name is Regal? Bryan? Swagger? Jinder's last name is MAHAL? Justin Gabriel?? O'Neil? Wait a minute hold the phone -- Skaaland? Backlund? Brazil? BOCKWINKEL?! Orndorff??? GAGNE? How do you pronounce some of these obscure names? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) !!! These people are going nowhere! How will they get over without a good name?

can't wait to see Pac's match. That corkscrew SSP is a thing of beauty. And Adrian Neville isn't a bad name. Now if they keep him as The Man That Gravity Forgot you've got a great hype campaign for him and t-shirt

Perfect set of spoilers. A few good Divas matches and Primo sent to NXT - it's all I could ask for!

While a lot of FCW name generator results are stupid and it's not just people whining about change (see Ohno, Kassius and Ambrose, Dean), I don't think Adrian Neville is a bad one. It does make me think of the footballers, but that's at least a very English association. There's a lot worse in NXT than that and tbh I always thought PAC was a random silly name anyway. New member of the Wyatt family, yay! Sad Bo is not over though ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) I love that Paige is one of the most over people they have. Sounds like a good set of shows overall. No Aiden English though, that makes me a sad panda!

Adrian neville sounds like the captain of the chess team, not a pro wrestler name. I think sometimes creative gets too much flack for the names they choose but this time they deserve it.
