I was looking at nxt 2.0 these peoples names suck. Lash Legend, Bron Breaker wow i would take job names over these like the dumpster, or skinner, or the goon. Atleast they were memorable.

Whoever called Piper Niven Doudrop should be axed immediately, what was so wrong with her name that they needed it changed to something so laughable where they can't be taken seriously

The most annoying thing about the Bron Breakker name, is that Vic Joseph remarks how he throws a steinerline, how he is a dog faced gremlin, he does the frankensteiner, he does the suplexes, he wears the same attire as his dad and uncle, the fans bark when he comes out and he barks with them, and tonight Ciampa cut a promo about 33 1/3 chance of winning..... just call the guy Rex Steiner and get it over with!

It's been this way for years, especially in nxt. A lot of the guys names seemed like they came from a cheesy generic random name generator.

Unless things have changed in the last year or so, they get to choose their names.

You have Kevin Dun Bruce Prichard Big Johnny and Vince McMahon to thank. We are slowly going back to the dark days being Hired/pushed based on looks.

We really need more nicknames used as ring names like The Rock, Mr Perfect etc. There are too many guys with ordinary names that your neighbor or work colleague could have.
Stone Cold even said once that a wrestlers ring name plays a huge part in their success.

Bron Breakker is a ridiculous name. They really need to try to do better.

Lash Legend sounds like the name of a generic action movie hero.

The name Doudrop was angle based - she was given a throwaway, random name by Eva Marie, because she didn't value her as a person, and just saw her as a lackey. Doudrop proved that she could succeed despite the name - thus announcing she now liked it, and was keeping it. The thing that's wrong, is the way it's spelt. I thought it was going to be 'Dewdrop' - because you Yanks have to pronounce 'dew' as 'dou' - but it's 'Doudrop', which just looks silly. Itβs their not so subtle way of saying. Yes please doudrop the pounds.Donβt let the E drones tell you different. it's sad because she is a talented wrestler and I liked her on NXT UK but I just can't get behind her with a name like Doudrop That sounds like a you problem. She's still as talented and doing fine - and she's fairly over. Her name shouldn't even come into it really.

Do you really think names don't matter in wrestling? Stone Cold wouldn't be the biggest star in wrestling with a name like Chilly McFreeze.

Names matter, but it doesn't mean that talent get over in spite of a name. Wrestling history is filled with dumb names who have gotten over in spite of their monikers.

Just another reason to sour on Sports Entertainment.

Thinking about it, are names like Doudrop and T-Bar really any different to Hawk, Animal or Tugboat.
