I mean it looked like a dark seg that was filmed to pop interest on facebook and they are still using assets from 2013 so maybe when he redebuts he comes out with a new theme and the Chris Hero name?

so is hero back, or is this just bringing in a competitor for one or two matches and then he disappears to become either a trainer or goes back to the indies?

i was going to use mickie james and eric young as my two examples, but one of them is back and the other one may be back.

Hell, they could probably be doing this to gauge the reaction to the name, or the thought is, "let's treat this like everyone has been wondering where NXT SUPERSTAR Kassius Ohno™ has been all this time and now he's back!"

I know this is very petty, but if Chris Hero is going to be "Kassius Ohno" my interest in his return has dropped dramatically.

I just really hate that stupid name.

It just feels weird to bring in Hero, rebrand him as Kassius Ohno, cut him, and then go into this whole phase where they're totally OK letting indy guys use their old names.

Meanwhile, Hero revives his career as one of the hottest indy workers on the planet, WWE convinces him to come back, and ... they're sticking with the same bad WWE name he had before. They have random C-listers using their indy names on 205 Live, why not do the same courtesy with Hero?

I think the gist is supposed to be that Hero will eventually start going by just, "Ohno." He hit on that towards the end of his last run.

Also, I thought I remember him picking his own name, not getting assigned one by WWE?

Also, why is he so fat

There is no guarantee he won't go back to the Chris Hero name eventually, and it's a unique situation because he came in right before most guys kept their indy names and they might want to keep continuity instead of having to awkwardly go "THE MAN FORMERLY KNOWN AS KASSIUS OHNO, WHO WILL NOW BE KNOWN AS CHRIS HERO IS BACK!" especially on the first appearance, AND that's assuming what we saw wasn't just a dark segment where they used the old graphics because they had them.

Chris Hero is really good and thoughtful about most things he does. I hope he doesn't get trapped into "that's the guy we know"NXTness because he has the ability to do something much more interesting than that.

They could easily do a reverse-Itami/Asuka where he comes in and says "I'm known here as Kassius Ohno, but I will now be known as Chris Hero".

The one I'm still miffed about is Apollo Crews. Uhaa Nation was such a badass name and if he'd held off on signing just a bit longer he probably could've kept it.
