It's his real name, not a gimmicked one. He's called Prince Devitt as he felt he wasn't big enough to be a King when it was suggested to him as a name whilst he worked in Japan.

So they seem to be going the CM Punk route and, I guess, licensing peoples' names while they're in the E? I really don't see them announcing KENTA and Devitt by those names but then making them change.
Now, if we can get an official confirmation of Steen, and then get ReDragon and Ciampa in, I'm happy.

I won't lie, I had no idea who he is so I Googled him. First row of images. So yeah, he's already great. He stole that from Mr. Zero! THIS MAN IS A THEIF!

Cue some ridiculous NXT name being saddled on to him. Oh, but I kid. This should be great.

COOL. Cool cool cooooooooooool.
I've got that...what'd bush call it...cautious optimism for WWE in the next few years. Right now....its in really strange trasition period from whatever they were from 2008 to now and into something completely different hopefully. There was the Attiude Era (ended 2001/2ish?) The Ruthless Aggression Era (ended 2007/8ish?) The PG Era (ending probably 2015?)
HHH tried to coin this next era as "the Reality Era" but I don't see that sticking.
Hopefully its the Indie Favs Era or the Vanilla Midget era haha!

Fergal is just an Irish name, not terribly common over her but common enough. Yeah, people from other countries may have names you don't know of believe it or not!
Anway delighted for him that he's signed, seems like a cool f***er. Ive said this on here before but Id love if came in and didnt have to use his Irishness as a gimmick like Sheamus and Becky and could be just an ass-kicker who just happens to be Irish.

Man, TNA's possibly just flatlined and WWE's signed Devitt? Man, hell must've frozen over!

f***ing yeah! The real rock and rolla, ok he is ripped to the gills, good looking dude, just don't put him as Sheamus cousin, the man deserves to be called King Devitt now and retire Lawler for that title.

He puts Jeff Hardy to shame with his paint-game.

This is completely badass! NXT is really the only consistent show WWE produces and it's just getting better and better. Devitt, KENTA, (possibly) Steen. Crowe is still yet to debut as well. Their roster is STACKED!!!

Becky seemingly dropped the overly Irish stuff if reports are to be believed. (She only did the terrible jig/step dance thing in one "televised" match so I'm inclined to believe they realized that it wasn't going to work) I am aware the Fergal is an Irish name, I was making a joke that Fergal Devitt is exactly the type of name people would complain about being goofy and made up if given to anyone in NXT

Maybe Im being harsh as I know most North Americans wouldn't know the name, people probably dont realize we have our own language and shit complete with "wacky foreigner" names! On the Becky front, Im glad of that. As I mentioned in another thread my friend went to school with her here in Dublin and I was just telling him about her breakthrough but we were agreeing that she's better than that stereotypical shite.

I wish, with all the recent signings of indie/international guys, that WWE would throw a tiny bit of money at a company or two to get a bit of footage of them. They'd have the footage for future use in NXT and the main roster, and they could even build up hype by putting together specials about them on The Network. God I wish I ran The Network...

YES! YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!
For those who don't know him - here is the ultimate tribute to him as a face/high flyer (he can rock both face, and heel e.g. Bullet Club and is a f***ing beast in ring either way)
