If they insist on changing the name of the Pounce, they should try the Alphattack. Sorry if the name sucks, first thing that I could come up with.

That sounds like the title of an edutainment video game where you learn the ABCs.

And his Fujiwara Armbar should be the Alpha Bite.

What's with the sport related names? First Dykstra, and now this(apparently).

Well, it was explained that Ken Doane is a huge admirer of Dykstra. Whether that's true or not, only Ken knows. And they may want to capatalize on Colston, but if that was the case, why not name him "Deuce Bush", or something. More than likely, someone thought that was a cool spelling of "Marcus".

Wasn't it reported that someone on the creative team came up with the name and not Kenny.

How about the Alphalanche?

That'd be good for the Alpha Bomb.

Dear god, it does. They could also just call it the KFO - Knocked the F*** Out.

I dunno. Look, I just work here, lady. ;D

So basically this is the Taz to Tazz logic. And they threw out his entire pro-wrestling and pro-football career history as well. The fans will just believe him when he says he's got credentials. They don't need any proof or anything. Did Triple H's and Stephanie's baby come up with that plan?

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

So........... how long will we start calling him MCV for short?

Will "I want my MCV!" become a new catch phrase?

[jcdenton]

I felt it did hurt the debut but was still good.

I knew exactly why Monty Brown had to have his name changed. WWE wants to trademark his name and likely their could be a small amount of hesitancy to use a name he used in TNA since he was not really known in wrestling before then. If WWE wants to give him a dumber name, that's their problem. Monty can use his real name anywhere else. Also, if he was ever released, I'm sure any other promotion in the world would want him to go by Monty Brown, which is far better than Marquis Cor Von or whatever.

I was hoping the fans would give him a huge "Monty Brown" chant to spite the WWE for forcing a name change on us. I hated hearing that they changed his name.

Isn't Monty Brown his real name , though?

[Ace Diamond]

Wait...Lagana tried to do something smart for once?

Hm...

Also I don't know if they're really going to change the name of the pounce after putting the damn words on his tights.

Seriously, Vince comes up with some weird names and continues a trend. You think they would've told him "Ok you're not cut out for the naming business" after he wanted to call Mick Foley "Mason the Mutilator"

I don't care about Brown if he says anything other than pounce.

Those are Monty's tights, aren't they? I remember him coming out with the same kind of tights when he was in TNA.

Exactly. WWE wants him to become big under a name that they made up. The fact that he had success to a degree under his real name in TNA likely is a strike against him in some people in WWE's eyes.

Yeah, he wore those tights (and tights with the same design but different color) in TNA.

From Mike Johnson's Hotline on PWinsider.com

The reason for the Monty Brown name change was Vince Macmahon. He wanted to own the name. Dave Lagana ( the head booker of ECW) argued that it would hurt his debut if they gave him a new name. Since fans are familar with his name and they wouldn't be able to use all the football footage they have of him. But Vince didn't want to hear any of it so that was that. The head booker of Raw tried to get Monty for his show but Vince chose to let Dave have him. Current plants are to build Monty up as an opponent for Bobby Lashely. They are supposed to change the name of the pounce ( which is interesting because pounce is on his tights).

Yep, Vince is an idiot. Why does he want to own the name anyway? If Monty ever leaves, say to go back to TNA, he can just use his own name anyway.

I guess Vince wanted to punish Monty for (like Punk) being able to make a good living wrestling outside of WWE.

Well...still, people have seen the name, people to a degree know what it's called, why they want to bother changing the name of the move is beyond me.

Maybe if they call it the Alpha Block it might sound kinda cool...otherwise leave it as it is.
