Ludwig Kaiser.” That’s like naming a British Wrestler “Anthony Prime Minister.”
Gonzalez to Rodriguez is, less absurd. Just unneeded.

The change from Marcel Barthel to Ludwig Kaiser is super silly considering it can’t be a “so they can own the name scenario”, given that WWE already owns the name “Marcel Barthel”.

It feels long past the point where it's even about a name change anymore. Why does almost everybody get this treatment now? It's happening with almost everyone coming up and it's borderline incomprehensible.

When they first showed Ludwig Kaiser, I thought it was Ilya Dragunov before they zoomed in. We've already had to deal with Gunther for a while, Raquel Rodriguez and Butch are still hard to hear.

All of a sudden I think trying to stay in NXT and get paid to help up and comers along and get some spotlight yourself may become a thing again. If I'm KUSHIDA, Dakota, Io, Drake and Gibson, Escobar, Wilde and Mendoza, Sarray, Jiro etc I'd be dreading a call-up. The new names of Pretty Deadly for 2.0 aren't too bad at all, but what chance do they keep em if ever called up? Or have their act reduced to chasing 24/7 gold? If talents are fine with whatever, just cause it's pay, so be it. I dread to think what they had in store for Ali after the stuff with Imperium. A few years ago Barthel told off a fan at a house show for doing Nazi salutes at him; now I dread to think how subtle Vince and company will try to make Imperium like that fan.
I DON'T want to be negative. I want to say things will turn out better. The E has to prove that first for a period of time. 2.0 isn't always my favorite; I liked B&G better. But at least they have some good matches, one of my favorites is getting a decent story and development and some of the silly segments and skits are worth a chuckle. And we get horny ass Wade Barrett. Then NXT UK is the last outpost of the B&G era. Main roster... dunno anymore, dunno.
And those repeats where people got legit hurt. Ugh.

Gunther's debut was both happy in the fact they didn't change his attire and depressing in the fact they gave him new, much iller fitting music, and the crowd didn't react to him AT ALL. Watching Gunther murder chop someone to damn near silence has to be one of the saddest things I've ever f***ing seen
The only chant he got was a "WALTER!" chant, which Pat immediately had to scream "LISTEN TO THEM CHANT FOR GUNTHER!", let alone his "THROWING HANDS LIKE WILL SMITH" line, he was at his dirt worst for this debut, absolutely insufferable.
I just feel so bad, the dude looks in the best shape of his career, and the crowd doesn't give a shit, WWE killed his aura, and they've given them no reason to give a shit, and given how over he was during his small Survivor Series run, this isn't hard, and they constantly make it hard, because they don't get it anymore.

Kushida and Jiro likely won't be employed much longer.. The Wrath of the Caveman is coming for them. Yikes. I feel bad for Kushida, leaves NJPW because they won't book him outside of juniors...and he's in WWE when this change that doesn't benefit him at all happens. Dudes from San Diego and speaks English fine..yet they have him doing broken English promos.

Great squash debut for Gunther. I think he’ll get over quickly.

I don't recall off-hand if that was the case prior as he didn't do as many promos it felt. And some were in Japanese with subtitles.

Maybe when Vince sees a guy he doesn't know he just calls them the first thing that comes into his mind and then the rest of creative has to change their name because he refuses to be corrected.
