Monty Brown's named changed again.

[KingPopper]

I just notisted this.

When he first debuted on ECW he was Marquis Cor Von. Now looking at his roster page. He's now Marcus Cor Von.

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

The spelling for his first name was a little odd.

[Corporate H]

I liked Marquis better, but I wish they'd change it to Monty.

Monty Brown.

Monty Brown.

Well, the official reason is that they want to own the name, says JR.

I suppose it makes sense, even if I find it a bit petty.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Eh, no worse than Ken Anderson turning into Ken Kennedy....




















KENNEDY!!!!

Anyone else get the feeling they'll hopefully drop that name and just call him The Alpha Male, ala Paul Wright/The Big Show.

That would probably be best.

Name change or not, he's still horrible.

He's okay.

Kind of a marginal guy at best, but he has his moments.

[JMA]

He really should just be The Alpha Male.

[skiller]

I have to be honest, before they even think about changing Cor Von's name, I think they should worry about his entrace theme.

[Hensley]

Monty Brown's way better. I just wish he'd gone onto RAW instead of ECW. You know he could be a dominant heel, so why not?

[Agent P]

But it is better that they changed the name, so if he gets released in a few years he can go back to being Monty Brown. It worked out well for Rhino, didn't it?

[Deleted]

I don't really care that his name isn't Monty Brown, but they should have given him another normal sounding name rather than this Cor Von silliness.

that's what I'm thinking, he'll go by Alpha Male soon.

Whats so great about owning his name? Not like anyone would ever wanna use it. Lets say he becomes a star and jumps back to TNA, its not like him having his different, real, and better name in TNA would stop fans from watching him if they wanted to...

It's the spelling of Saints WR Marquis Colston's name. Now that the season's over, and Vince thinks the audience is idiots who would mispronounce it, they've gone to plain Marcus.

[odor31]

It's been like that for a while now...

It is, but it's not unusual. This way, they can own the copyright... Though why you'd want to own the copyright of a crappy-ass name like that is beyond me. They'd get more mileage out of Monty Brown.

I hate when they do this. We know who he is. There's no need to rebrand him. Just expound on his current marketability. There has to be a way to craft an agreement that would let them use his name and trademark, but wouldn't impinge upon his ability to use it if and when creative can't book their way out of a paper bag with him.

My prediction: this is going to SUCK.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

I wish they'd change it to Ahmed's friend Morty.
