If Sami Zayn gets called up

[tekkenguy]

Do you think he'd be the butt of One Direction jokes, or would nobody notice?

[The Baltimore Staircase]

He's not the first person in the history of the world to share a part of his name with part of the name of someone else in the world, so no.

[Steveweiser]

I actually looked this up last night, only a couple of mentions I could find on Google, and I think one of them was by me. So no-one's really saying it right now.

[disorganisedchaos v:2]

Perhaps when they become McMahonrelevant in about 15 years.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

I had to Wikipedia who the hell One Direction are before I understood what the OP was getting at.

I very seriously doubt it. Not even WWE make links that weak.

I realize this is probably a joke thread, but One Direction are pretty harmless and kind of irrelevant unless you're the kind of person to give a shit about boybands. Zayn is a common name to Arabs/Persians. Much like John is common in the US, etc.

I've heard of One Direction but I didn't know Zayn was one of their names (actually I haven't heard any of their names mentioned anywhere) so I think he's good.

[Deleted]

No, but whenever Sami Zayn trends on Twitter you know there's going to be comments from One Direction fans going "OMG I thought this was about Zayn Malik, who is Sami Zayn?" Is Sami his new girlfriend?!"

Dumbasses.

[rybackrulez]

Did not know generico was arabic

[Tarik Dee]

I don't know anything about One Direction except they already have wrestling names, I mean, Harry Styles? Liam Payne? Zayn Malik? they sound more like NXT wrestlers.

[rybackrulez]

It is like you guys don't have nieces

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

I actually had to look up One Direction to see if one of their members was named Sami Zayn.

[celticjobber]

I'm guessing there's not a huge crossover of One Direction and WWE fans, but I could be wrong.

I've only heard of the name One Direction, and I think one of the boys from the group dated Taylor Swift. That's all I know about them.

[Digital Witness]

He should name one of his moves "One Direction".

[zeez]

Isn't the name of every One Direction member Generico? If not, it should be.

[Snowman]

I thought they were called "Wand Errection" when I first heard the name

Yes, that's true. It was Harry who dated Taylor.

Anyway, the name Zayn isn't that common here in the U.S. and is practically associated with nobody other than Zayn Malik. If his last name was spelled "Zain," I don't think he'd have any 1D problems.

It seems like if there was a Venn diagram the circles of Popular Music and FAN Awareness would not intersect too much.

[The Trashman]
