I don’t mind Ludwig Kaiser because Marcel Barthel was SUCH a weird name to use. No idea if it’s his real name or a name given to him but it’s horrible and we’d be bashing that WAY more if that was his new SD name.

They really changed Gonzalez to Rodriquez. Wow. So…just to keep asking, why watch NXT? The show still gets enough viewers for this stuff to matter so if you’re just going to change her name and act like it’s not a big deal, you might as well shove the show back on streaming.

I always felt like when USA's deal is up, this show will go back to streaming There are way too many greenhorns on this product and now the old guard that was left is effectively being phased out... it's not a bad show, but they are actively saying "Nothing on it matters" when people who get called up completely change themselves if you do bother to watch and get invested in them, and this is why most of these people are now debuting to ZERO reaction. Vince thinks this is a good idea, and Black and Gold was a failure, but this whole Rainbow Version of NXT to me hasn't done anything to separate itself from Black and Gold as a "superior" program, nor is it giving me any faith as a developmental when again, they keep changing everything "developed" about these people immediately, and that's with Vince now RUNNING NXT, he STILL has to change shit, it's not even "To put my own stamp on it!" anymore... it's just done carelessly, doesn't matter how it effects the careers of wrestlers or their job longevity, it's nuts.

Ludwig Kaiser.” That’s like naming a British Wrestler “Anthony Prime Minister.” Gonzalez to Rodriguez is, less absurd. Just unneeded. Should've named WALTER, Wolfgang Krauser.

Not making Sarray, Io, LA Knight, Dakota etc into stars takes a lot of effort but they’re showing they put work into it.

Barthel doing Regal-esque mannerisms at ringside was kinda neat, but they need a third really. Not sure whey they decided to leave Aichner behind.
Shame Cesaro decided to leave, he'd have been a great first feud for Gunther.
Having him murder jobbers might be fun for a few weeks though.

I thought Barthel and Aichner were great together. Aichner has to feel slighted with this.

They want to own the names. Rodriguez vs. Gonzalez ain’t a big deal. Hell, Ludwig sounds better than Marcel.

But if they want to own every name why didnt they change her name while in DEVELOPMENTAL! Thats what it is for. To develop your wrestlers. Give them the names and characters while there so they arrive to the main roster fully formed. Now if they had some idea for a character and Raquel was the one they chose to play her that would be one thing. But this is this wrestler who has been on a show that WWE apparently wants us to watch showing up with a new name for some reason.

I think it’s just one of the last disconnects between old NXT and new NXT. I also really don’t think it matters and to me, it’s a nitpick and not a real big deal. Gonzalez vs. Rodriguez is not what will define her success on the main roster.

They clearly want it to be a big deal for the main WWE viewer. They can’t have their cake and eat it with this stuff.

It goes to show that no matter what coat of paint NXT has, Vince will just demand changes with the talent anyway.

They've turned Pete Dunne into Scrappy Doo.
Gunther has all the WALTER treatment so far, just with a daft name. Ludwig Kaiser is a bit on the nose but he'll no doubt lose one of those in a month. Kaiser is the more blatant stereotype but Ludwig is not a pro-wrestling name.
Raquel seemed to be Raquel with a different surname.

What kills me about all these call ups and I harp on it....no build up , no videos trying to inform the audience of who these people are to the larger general audience who does not watch NXT.
Raquel could not have gotten a more stock generic introduction at all.
Atleast Xia Li got the cool animated videos building her up ...of course they have completely done negative nothing with her since but still it was far more than Raquel got lol.
