This would actually be really cool and I want to see him do it to Bull Dempsey or Baron Corbin or both.

Dylan Miley is a terrible name for a dude who looks like that, sounds like it should go to a member of the modern version of 3 Count.

I'm not trying to knock developmental names just to be negative either, they've actually gotten markedly better on the whole in recent years.

Once you hit the absolute bottom of "Lift Sawyer", you can only go up. I mean, unless you just lose it and start naming workers stuff like "Fuckface McGee" or something.

It is his real name. They are very slow to rename people these days.

:lol: That's such an 2008 FCW-ish name (sounds like he should've been Briley Pierce's tag partner) I just assumed they fell back on old habits. That's reassuring though.

Yeah a lot of the FCW/early NXT names were super, duper Irish ones for whatever reason. Which is one of the reasons why Chris Hero decided to take such a left field direction with Kassius Ohno.

Many of them became popular white baby names in the US for a while starting in mid '90s. They might sound fine in Ireland, but over here it omes across more like it should be underneath a youth sports logo on the back of a minivan or that I should be selling a 36 short suit to them to wear to Homecoming rather than belonging to large scary dudes who would easily destroy me.

Doesn't Vince have a well-known thing about Irish surnames?

I mean, "Hogan" is a really Irish surname.

Isn't Vince a huge mark for Irish names/heritage? Like wasn't Curtis Axel given the McGillicutty name because Vince always wanted a wrestler with that name?

Well if we are going to go with that, have him take up a scottish accent, carry seemingly endless amount of bayonets and have him scream bible verses as he walks down to the ramp. Come on we all know an Alexander Anderson gimmick is the perfect wrestling gimmick, he even has like 20 nicknames for Cole and JBL to shout out.

I'm in Japan on my honeymoon and I was there 2 weeks ago, didn't notice GFRG but I've never watched a wrasslin' tape so :shrug:. Small crowd, but not a stacked card. Ultimo Dragon was the biggest name that I recognized.

That is loving amazing. I hope they give him Fast and the Furious next, or a hyper-successful series called "12 Rounds with a Marine"
