Regal is from Codsall near Wolverhampton. Blackpool conjures up images of donkeys, kiss me quick hats and old arcades. The only intimidating thing about it is the rowdy hen parties. Maybe they can use big sticks of rock as their signature weapons. If they were to ride Donkeys to the ring as a special PPV entrance I might actually lose my mind.

That being said, for an American like myself, it just sounds like a place that badasses would come from. So I'd say it's more the importance of the name than anything else. Imagine if he were from Aberdeenshire, or something. Aberdeenshire Combat Club just doesn't roll off the tongue or sound as threatening

I think it's the name. "Blackpool Combat Club" looks corny as f***. For starters, none of them are from Blackpool apart from Regal. And even then, Blackpool isn't exactly a rough city lol. Blackpool is pretty rough away from the tourist attractions, with places that are some of the most deprived in the entire North of England and the population of the town has been declining for decades. Between that and it being the home of Regal during his formative years, the name is legit.

Just to reiterate what others have said Blackpool in the off season is a strange and terrible place.

I think its been great. They need a story now that the Yuta initiation stuff is finished with, but I love the whole vibe and aesthetic. Just a group of the best wrestlers who want to go out and hurt people. It's ace.
Also people think Blackpool isn't rough? You all haven't been off the pleasure beach when it gets dark. It's a nasty place.

the biggest problem the BCC has right now is the lack of anyone to feud with or goal they are pushing for outside of "beat the crap out of everyone they face" so they're kinda in a holding pattern right now. we'll see how it works once they have someone to play off of.

They're easily my favorite faction right now, but they do need a feud.

Also, if Blackpool is like AC, then it's plenty tough. Yeah, AC is a depressed hellhole away from the shore. And that was when the casinos were doing good business. Not like it's known as a beach town when Ocean City and LBI nearby.

Agreed they need a feud. I also think it needs to be an actual challenge/threat to them and not just someone they steamroll over
The all three of them doing moves at the end and destroying everyone needs cut down too

I liked it at first myself, just doing it every week is “Okay they’re badasses. I got that from day one lol”. Just for me anyway

Orlando has mean streets too, but Disney Combat Club wouldn’t strike fear in the hearts of many.

Orlando has mean streets too, but Disney Combat Club wouldn’t strike fear in the hearts of many. Yet "Orlando Combat Club" isn't a real bad name either. If you wanna cherry pick what's in a place to make it "Not scary" then Chicago has plenty of tourist spots... doesn't exactly take away from the stuff that can and does happen there. Same with plenty of other places. It just seems like a reach to be upset a Combat Club is billed from a place because the place can have nice places, we have people who live near there giving live recounts and experiences as to how shitty Blackpool can be as a place, that really should be enough right? Even then... Blackpool as a name is for Regal who is the base of the operations, just feel like it's fine? Inoffensive? And even to some, fitting as hell.
