I've created a babyface team of Fro Sho and Donte Dunn after calling them up from development. Any ideas?

Hi guys, what about a team with Brian Cage and Lashley?

<p>I need a name for a brand / sub-promotion.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm plotting an IRL AJPW 2001, where it and a second promotion are in the Pacific Wrestling Federation Alliance (their kayfabe governing body). AJPW is similiar to GCG in that they're doing a Heavyweight / Openweight division, and this second promotion is doing a Cruiserweight / Lucharesu theme using a lot of IRL Michinoku, Osaka and Toryumon wrestlers. It's also using AJPW's World Junior title and a new World Six Man title. </p><p> </p><p>

I've been going back and forth between using Dragondoor, El Dorado and Secret Base (all failed successors to Toryumon Japan IRL), but I feel like I need a fresh new name for the series. All I can think of at the moment is trying something like ThunderVerse's Fire Kingdom Pro Wrestling, or maybe doing an AJPW: Insert Name style treatment like AJPW: Phoenix, AJPW: Ring of Fire or AJPW: Sengoku Road. </p><p> </p><p>

Any name suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Looking for a suggestion for a TCW stable name (I know, always TCW, I’m boring).</p><p> </p><p>

It’s a parody of WWE’s League of Nations stable, currently featuring Lucky T. O’Irish, El Cuccaracchi, and manager Mother Fuoka, planning to expand a bit.</p><p> </p><p>

I’m trying to find a name that both acknowledges that the whole joke is that they’re all tired (and frankly ancient) stereotypes while also abreviating into something snarky.</p><p> </p><p>

My best so far was Casually Racist Authority Patrol or CRAP, but there has to be something better.</p>
