Cameron Grimes?? lmao Camryn Grimes is an actress on Young and the Restless, so I guess I know who I'll be picturing every time they say his name. Same. Your boy grew up with Cassie Newman. Ridge Holland made me think of Ridge Forrester on the Bold and the Beautiful too. SAME about Ridge, haha. The cold comment above made me laugh. Stephanie Forrester would be pissed

Ridge Holland sounds like some Dutch village you've never heard of. Also Arturo Ruas doesn't seem like it rolls off the tongue all that easily. Even more so if you've got rhotacism. But since he's Brazilian, wouldn't the last name be pronounced "Hoo-ahs"? ...heh *insert Al Pacino gif here*.

Outside of Lee, I don't know who any of these people are.

I like Cameron Grimes more than Trevor Lee to be honest, Trevor Lee always made me think of Trevor Murdoch for some reason. I look forward to referring to him as Grimey.
Rik fits better than Eric, but he should've stayed as Bugenhagen...it was a great name for the gimmick. Bugez I assume will be pronounced as 'Boogies'? Meh, if he's still referred to as the 'Bugz' ('Boogz') then it aint so bad.
The rest are pure FCW standard. Luke Menzies was a great name I though. Ridge Holland is most certainly not.

Cam Grimes isn't a bad name. I've never heard of anyone called "Ridge" in my life though. (No offense if that's your name!Haha)

“Rik Bugez” sounds like one of those names that Chuck Taylor used in CHIKARA when he retired and legally lost the rights to the name Chuck Taylor to Stokely Hathaway.
I also love that these weirdos are so specific about these goofy name changes that they took away the “e” in “Jessie” for absolutely no reason.

Ted Bugent would have some gimmick possibilities.

Bugenhagen already made a huge impact with his debut and slew of videos rocking out on the WWE YouTube channels. Way to completely reset the momentum he had going out the gate, WWE!
I'm willing to bet more than a handful of people aren't going to realize it's the same person...probably the same people who didn't notice Erik and Ivar were Rowe and Hanson...

I feel like if Corey Graves had shown up in the Impact Zone he could've been Cameron Grimes.
Missed opportunity.

In literal every single case their previous name is better. Usually you can find one improvement at least but no, not here

Cameron Grimes?? lmao Camryn Grimes is an actress on Young and the Restless, so I guess I know who I'll be picturing every time they say his name. That's why Ridge Halland is messing with me.

Ridge Holland made me think of Ridge Forrester on the Bold and the Beautiful too. None of these names really strike me one way or the other. Eric Bugenhagen was called “Rick Bugez” at various points before making it onto NXT TV anyway. It’s not as good of a name, but I don’t think it’s going to matter. Yeah, I could have sworn I've seen footage of Bugenhagen calling himself that before.

Now that Wwe isn’t the only name in the game again. I don’t expect many people to keep their names anymore.

Ridge Holland sounds like the name of a dude from a book with Fabio on the cover.

For me, names do not matter except for organizing my records, since I go by last name. Arturo Ruas is easier to type than Adrian Jaoude, but I have to move him to R. Rick Bugz is much easier to type than Eric Bugenhagen & I don't have to move him. Jessie was easier to type than Jessi Kamea, and now I have to move her to K instead of J. Menzies/Holland and Lee/Grimes have yet to compete on NXT TV, so I don't have to worry about them. I hope the next name that gets changed is Ilja Draganov, because that's a pain to type.

And Camryn Grimes has been back as Cassie's long-lost twin Mariah!
Whoever's in charge of the NXT names must be a soap opera fan. Besides "Cameron Grimes" and "Ridge Holland," Arturo Rosales was the name of a character who was recently on Y&R. And considering the other two names, a new NXT name being "Arturo Ruas" would be too much of a coincidence.
