Embee Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Are you planning on taking Cena down a similiar gimmick path to what he traveled in reality? Because I always thought when he was doing the Doctor of Thuganomics bit that he should have been calling himself Johnny C-Note. When Cena was first reaching the spotlight, it seemed like his real name should have been avoided because of the potential for Xena Warrior Princess jokes that could threaten his long term future. Thankfully for him, that appears to have been one of those deals that was just me. Yeah I'm likely going to take him through a similar white-rapper phase, I don't think I'll ever transition him into "Super White Meat Babyface" Cena though. I like that idea though! Johnny C-Note might be the initial name I introduce him under, cheers mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icecold Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Kinda a weird one Stan Lane & Steve Keirn are going to start teaming in my WWF 1981 save, but instead of being put together by Jackie Fargo, I'm toying with the idea of Buddy Rogers mentoring them... Any ideas for a name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas for a name? They were "The Fabulous Ones" IRL. Being that they are being managed by the Nature Boy Buddy Rogers, why not call them "The Naturals"?

Derek B Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 <p>For a stable like that I would never have the group give themselves a name or refer to themselves as one. They're just a group of people who hang out, kick ass and are badasses.... and with that in mind, whatever name they get would be given to them by someone else. Probably one of their rivals so they could literally be called anything depending on who they go against. Could be a super lame name that they just accept ironically, or could be something okay, but the point is that they'd never refer to it themselves anyway because they are too cool for that. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Or you could call them "The Hellraisers".... cos that would be awesome. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could only think of International Artists, United Nations or Worldwide Enterprises but they seem rubbish to me. Well given how much Sami Zayn looks like a young Ray Stevens, I'd be tempted to repackage either him or Cesaro as The Blue Cyclone. Change Nakamura's first name to Tsunami and find a natural disaster that fit wherever the non-Cyclone was from. So I could then call the group The Forces of Nature.

Editor6 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Update! The situation: The character I need a new name for was part of a babyface comedy tag team until his partner quit. I then sent him on a two-month vacation as I had nothing for him to do immediately and wanted him off TV because I was planning on making some dramatic changes. He's ready to come back as an angry loner (likely a heel, especially down the line) who sees himself as an exiled truth-teller. Ideally, I'd like a name that plays off of some aspect of this new character, as I don't want to give him a generic name and I don't want any references to his past (which is why I'm not naming him here.) Why was he exiled? Maybe he feels he's a Cassandra. Perhaps to the point he adopts Cassandra as a last name. So Benny Cassandra or something like that. The whole cause of Cassandra's problems in classical times was that while she had the gift of prophecy but no one believed her because of a punishment from Apollo. Could your guy be telling truths no one believes until they come to pass and he's frustrated by their refusals to listen? That could sure make someone heelishly bitter in a hurry. So. This last bit had pretty much already happened and was one of the reasons his partner shoot quit. A lot of the stuff my guy's talking about is a combination of open secrets, "inside baseball" backstage stuff (locker room is a trash fire), and general grievances related to the corporate powers-that-be. Though, in true heel fashion, he won't always be blaming the right people. This initially set me looking to Catholic saints for name inspiration, but nothing really fit that I liked. Shifting gears to false prophets didn't yield any fruit, either, mostly because so few are named. So then I came back to a word I now see you also used... "exile." Google led me to, among others, the poet Dante (of "The Divine Comedy" fame.) He was exiled from Florence, Italy in 1302 when his political faction, the pro-papacy Guelphs, split, and he ended up on the opposite side of the city's rulers. Half formed idea but what about using the last name Solo or Seeker This jumped out at me right away and I held on to it. And I believe I now have Dante Solo. Thanks, guys!

cappyboy Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 In my MLW save, I'm getting ready to make Rich Swann and Shane Strickland a team. Possible names? Between Swann having been the original founder of Injustice before Myron Reed took that ball and ran with it and Strickland having been called "Swerve", the acronym DTA springs to mind. So maybe Don't Trust Authority. Or the Downtown Truth Authority. From some reason, "authority" jumps into my head for the A whether they are the authority or whether the term is a dig a MLW management.

KUSHUDA Has turned on CHAOS and formed his own stable with La Sombra with Kota Ibushi also joining. I need a name that will fit the 3...... So... based on the fact that they are a group of people who have very different origins AND have belonged to different stables within NJPW (CHAOS for KUSHIDA, the origina Los Ingobernables in Mexico/LIJ and the Golden Elite) you have a group with mixed origins... some kind of... INTER-mixing, if you will. Also based on them being highly decorated stars around the world AND the fact that Ibushi (who I'd assume is the leader) is nicknamed "The Golden Star" and you want a reference to that too. Which leaves the group with the name of... Interstellar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalton Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I recently combined two factions in my puro game: The Kings of Wrestling and the European Union. Need a new name that represents both of them. I feel like this should be easy considering Europe and Kings but can't think of something that fits as a puro faction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
