Thankfully Ciampa and Breakker have been on Raw as-is.
But they started again with Gunther and our newest addition, BUTCH.
Is this going to be permanent thing again?

Being fair both WALTER and Dunne were names used outside of WWE. They don't have the same reason to change, like, Bron Breakker.
But then again, Doudrop.

If they change the name and nothing else like with WALTER/GUNTHER, it's not ideal but it's a wee bit easier to swallow.
The whole Butch thing, however, is shit.

Weirdly enough, it's happening more to the European stars compared to others these days.

Im gonna assume this is a European thing, for whatever reason, don't exactly know why
That being said, BUTCH is one of the worst name changes I've seen in a long time. Makes GUNTHER look competent.

I think it's because in Vince's mind when he thinks of Europe he thinks of tea, crumpets, dudes with white wigs and other stuff from decades ago. He's gotta go super "European stereoype" with it. A name like Butch to him sounds like a guy who you'd see in an English backalley wearing a newsboy cap, wife beater and suspenders. Yep. I know what I said.

Thankfully Ciampa and Breakker have been on Raw as-is. This doesn’t mean anything. Ciampa could show up on Raw tomorrow and be called Frankie or some shit.

The names aren't even clever... Gunther, Doudrop, Butch, T-Bar.
If the names were kickass, that would be fine. But come on... WWE has professional writers on this sh-?

They’re coming up with names that a 76 year old weirdo with a very childish sense of humor would like.
Of course the names suck.

I think any names not owned by the wwe will be changed.

I'm just curious why WWE hits on so many shitty, nothing names these days. You can make up a good, or even passable, ring name no problem, even if you have to clumsily retcon it, but nobody's going to think, "Once in a lifetime star," just hearing the full name Gunther or Butch or Erik.
Like I still wouldn't be crazy about Pete Dunne suddenly being Butch MacKenzie or something but at least it's a name.

Would it count as breach of contract if Pete goes "hey im not working for you people if you're gonna name me BUTCH" ? cuz he should definitely pull a Punk/Neville rn. pssh! Butch.
