    Yes. Yes it is. Uncomfortably so. She looks like a female Hulk anyhow, big man jaw and man hands on her.

    It'll never cease to amaze me that this man once squashed, in the truest sense of the word, The Undertaker.

    Xavier Woods

    I am not trying to be a smarky dick, but my noggin refuses to process auld Xavier as anything other than Consequences Creed. You can imagine how
    little the affiliation with R-Truth has aided matters.

    Speaking of Xavier, what's with the Power Rangers references? Angel Grove, Morphin Time.

    The lack of a believable face commentator makes it so much more difficult for heels to sell themselves as heels.

    JR did that so well, and really sold every dastardly deed a heel perpetrated, Cole is too busy on about the app or trying to be cool, and Jerry the King doesn't really play too much of any role anymore.

    Yeah it's embarassing for all involved but maybe helps the Usos get support from the Cena demographic.

    Just thinking it's such a pity Sandow didn't do his local gimmick shtick here in Dublin. Knacker Sandow would have been just too amazing I guess.

    Lights fall...Aslan starts to boom from the PA..out a stumbles grease headed trackied up Damo Sandow. Saviour of the redline junkies.

    They have been left in the past, in the "reality era" WWE wrestlers Superstars are like Brazillian superstars (have only 1 name) Cesaro, Sheamus, Rusev and if they are lucky will get a nickname thats decent, Swiss Superman, Celtic Warrior, Bulgarian Brute (creative these days only really feel creative if your from somewhere international with regards nicknames it would seem.... even The Jumping Geordie, Adrian Neville)

    still its better than a few years ago and the Michael McGillicutty's and Scotty Goldmans of the world

    I think the names are still awful. I thought Dolph Ziggler was the worst name I'd ever heard but surprisingly it has grown on me and I quite like it now.

    Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Adrian Neville, Sammy Zayn, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas.. They're not so much generic as just random and terrible. They will never have a wrestling boom again with silly names like these. None of them sound mainstream or main event.

    Ambrose, Rollins and Zayn are alright.

    The rest aren't great.

    Bad names have always been a part of wrestling.

    If anyone debuted with those names today, they'd be ridiculed...

    Wrestling Boom has nothing to do with names, as proved by the god awful names that were called cool a few posts ago.

    Tugboat!

    After The Shield, the JBL & Cole show is my favourite thing about WWE.

    Too many people use the super kick or a variation of it nowadays imo.

    On the names thing, I like Dolph, Roman Reigns, Jack Swagger, Tyler Breeze and probably a few more I can't think of now. They are 'regular-ish' names with a twist. John Cena is a crap name for a wrestler, lol.

    I think the cynical nature of us all is a big part of it. If a guy called Ultimate Warrior or Animal had debuted on Raw tomorrow night rather than many years ago, I don't think many of us would take it that seriously.

    Its like band names, sure. Imagine if the teenage band playing your local was called 'The Red Hot Chili Peppers'. I know I'd think they were some novelty ****e. Its about onwning the name and giving it meaning, The man makes the name in instances like this - would the Ultimate Warrior have been as loved as much if he had another name, most likely.

    Or, to be more poetic - would an Adam Rose by any other other name sell any more seats?
