It's fine. There have been much worse in recent years, like Lucky Cannon, Lift Sawyer, Cable Jones, Michael McGillicutty, Husky Harris, and Penny Cash to name a few. Wasn't it Jenny Cash?

This independent contractor bullshit has come up with some awful names, if they want to crack the asian market, Kenta is perfect, rolls off the tongue easy and will sell merchandise.

I think the main problem with it was that the KENTA tron design looked bloody awesome, and when it brought up "Hideo Itami" in its place, it really didn't look as good. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Also a stick. But it's a name. Kassius Ohno was Hero's idea, Kassius for Cassius Clay ... and Ohno... because it started with O... so his initials were KO... basically he completely named himself after being a knockout artist. Yeah, I looked it up afterwards apparently she went by both Jenny and Penny cash

It should have been a requirement to yell his name, "KENTA!!!!! with a headlock...".

This independent contractor bullshit has come up with some awful names, if they want to crack the asian market, Kenta is perfect, rolls off the tongue easy and will sell merchandise. Japanese people know who he is new name or not. He got a regular name that easy to remember and not offensive. Remember Hirohito? People got so used to Yoshi Tatsu that they forgot his real name. Folks are either going to accept the name or just call him Kenta anyway.

There's nothing wrong with the name and they presented it perfectly. If you chant Kenta at him now, you are chanting it to spite him, rather then a machine that named him.

He will end up being called Itami when he gets to the main roster

At least this means that he'll be able to call himself KENTA if/when he goes back to Japan, so it's not bad at all.
Plus, at least it's not "Yoshi Tatsu".

...what's the problem, exactly? Almost everybody gets renamed.
He wasn't going to be KENTA because allcaps isn't going to fly in WWE.
He wasn't going to just be Kenta because of the obvious name conflict.
There's nothing wrong with this name. It rolls off the tongue pretty well. It's easy to remember, too.

Roman Reigns? At least this means that he'll be able to call himself KENTA if/when he goes back to Japan, so it's not bad at all. Plus, at least it's not "Yoshi Tatsu". Uh, he'd be able to anyway, it's his name.

You're an independent contractor but as long as you work here, we own your name and your likeness, and you can't work anywhere else. Oh, and you'll make 25k a year.
Where do I sign?
