Dead_Jester Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Your name's not bad but it would seem to work best if this were going to be a full blown stable. Maybe with Lord Alfred Hayes as manager or "docent" or some such thing like that. Two guys by themselves isn't much of a society or league. As just a team by themselves, I'd be wanting to associate Regal and Douglas in some form or another with the ivory tower. Be as the team name, their team finisher or maybe both. That mental image is just so regal, elitist and academic it would just about demand to be part of this recipe. And another thought for you is Terri Runnels available to you at all? The nerdy Alexandra York persona she was using at the time could also be a great fit with this team. Except maybe instead of the business suit, she's in formal ball gowns and going by a punny name like Ivy Halls or Hollis. It's a bit too literal, but what about something like Gentleman and A Scholar? Or, maybe The Baccalaureate? Thanks for the input guys I appreciate the responses. I went with the Ivory Tower Elitists, really looking forward to getting these two together and pushing them into a feud with the Steiner Brothers for the Tag Titles. I'll have to keep York in mind should anything happen to Hayes or the Genius as well, for the time being though I don't want to split up the managerial pairings due to the chemistry bonus on both sides. Thanks again guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdcastles Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I got a muscular super heavyweight black American that is about to be out of development. I need a name for him, because the game named him Patrick Dale. He is going to be brought in as a monster heel that I want to push pretty quick as he has good enough stats.

Rayelek Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Looking for a tag team name for Quentin Queen & Gidayu Katou. Quentin is using a Blue Chipper gimmick and Katou is using a Legitimate Athlete gimmick, and both are heels. Right now, they're in the lower card, not quite jobbers but close because there are so many other guys and they just started teaming, but I'm hoping for them to be together long-term and both can work as both face and heel so it doesn't need to be a heel tag name.

But one thing I've wanted for years to do with Squeeky is an Orwellian, 1984-style Ministry of Love stable. An aristocratic elitist like Huntingdon would certainly fit as leader. But I don't know about Greed. It's been a while since I read the book. I envision more a heelish Rick Law in that framework than Greed.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjohns44 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Not really a tag team but I'm scratching my head trying to figure out a good ring name for Cody Hall. I guess if I had to I could go with that, but was hoping for his name to pay homage to Scott and his "adoptive uncles" Sean Waltman and Kevin Nash..
