CM Punk ruined it for everyone who wants to keep their name.....

[Chris Shields]

It's not the worst name I've ever heard, and it is an Irish sounding name. Balor is actually a figure in Irish mythology, so Devitt may have actually had some say in the name, similar to KENTA.

[Stoner]

Finn and Balor are both big names in Irish mythology.

[Drama Queen]

Finn maccumhail is like the most legendary figure in Irish mythology. Though it should be be spelled Fionn. I think Finn is a more anglicized/Americanized version of the name.

Then again wwe spell it Shawn instead of Sean. Surprised they don't spell seamus with a H.

[jagilki]

Should of named him after the greatest RKW Jobber ever.


Prince Drama Queen.

They do spell Sheamus with the H...

Much like Hideo Itami, it's a name that makes sense with the heritage of the wrestler, but isn't corny or gimmicky. The name change I'm really interested in is Steen. There's not a lot of Canadian mythology or comic book characters to choose from. All though there are a ton of Canadian sports stars, actors, and some musicians. Could also maybe use the fact he was trained by the Quebecers, or they could just go with a random normal sounding name. With KENTA and Devitt, they had a direction they could go in to find a new name, not so much with Steen.

Breaking.

Kevin Steen is now known as Tom Horton.

This is funny on the Tim Horton's joke, and funny on a personal level because that happens to be my uncle's real name.

[Hondo]

Kill Horton Kill...

Horton hears a WHAT?

[Mike Powers]

LMFAO

[Krazy]

He could go as Lloyd Boner?

[Chris Shields]

He could go as Lloyd Boner?

Your attempted joke was bad and you should feel bad.

[Strike]

Here's what I don't get.

They make this huuuge deal about signing Kenta and Devitt and Steen. They specifically mention on their websites, TV shows, etc. "Holy crap, boys! We signed Kenta!" They do interviews with them on the website, specifically calling them by their well-known names, etc. etc.

And then turn around and give them dumb WWE names anyway.

I mean, what's the point?

Your answer, in a nutshell.
