So I got Tommy End and Kenny Omega in an Irish developmental company in 2004. They just popped up with great chemistry, so I want to make them a regular heel team (they're both currently Unimportant), and I would love a name for them.

Taking suggestions. Thanks.

It's a bit of a cheat I guess but Tommy was in the tag team Sumerian Death Squad IRL and I don't see why that wouldn't fit them

So in a 94 save Mikey Whipwreck and Louie Spicolli have good chemistry as tag partners. They're both jobbers and I have no plans for them, but I would like to give them some sort of tag name. They're kind of loveable losers.

As Omega is the last letter of the Greek Alphabet, and Tommy End is called ... well, End, maybe something like Black Deadline, Terminal Fate, or in general something that means things are going to come to an end for their opponents ?

For Galloway and Windsor, how about Blue Blood ? Windsor is obviously a royal name, and Galloway comes from Scotland, so the link with the color Blue is easy to find.

And for Clancy and Sitoci, you could always combine their nicknames: Untamable Pittbulls.

I like the idea of Black Deadline, Terminal Fate....but I used them for inspiration to make it Dark Fate.

Using Blue Bloods and Untamable Pitbulls (I don't know enough about European and British wrestling scenes, so I was unaware of their nicknames until that).

I don't know how much of a cheat it is, but this is where I was going originally. And I really like the Sumerians. But I'm holding that name in reserve for a future Tommy End tag team or stable. Good thought, though.

I'm trying to find a name for a team made of Drew Gulak and No Way José, but can't find any so far. Any ideas ?

For some more lore behind this team creation, basically their association will start by a random meeting in a bar: Gulak is there to drown his sorrow of being ignored by every GMs, and will end up drinking with No Way José, who's about to be fired because he isn't considered serious enough for the job (and because he loses a lot due to it). He wants to be better, yet everytime he's in the ring, can't help but dance and lose focus. Something that, a couple of drinks later, Gulak will suggest he can teach him to avoid.
At first there will be segments where José will get beaten during their match due to that problem despite Gulak's advices, until one day where No Way will realise, while trying to save Drew from a 2-on-1 beatdown, that he's able to avoid his opponent's hits thanks to the rhythm. It'll then lead them to Gulak helping him hone that skill and after that on the path of victories, with an eventual title run at some point if they get good match ratings.
In the first weeks of their association, they could simply be "Drew Gulak and No Way José", but I want a better name for the longer term, preferably without making it too obvious they'll win by the power of dancing.

Last Chance Alliance?

No Way No Chance?

I like "Last Chance Alliance" a lot, and it'd be a pretty dope name for a whole stable actually. Have Gulak teach more people to save their career, and slowly build it up. However, it might be better as a "gimmick" rather than a tag name, and I already have a lot of stables so I'll have to think about it haha

I also had an idea for the team name during the night, so I'd appreciate an opinion on it if I don't end up going with the "last chance" stable idea: since Gulak is a submission specialist, and No Way Jose loves dancing (although it's more Conga line than other types), I thought about a pun on "Tap out" and "Tap Dance" with "Tap Out Dance". Gulak wants to "submit" the dancing habit of José, the latter will use it as a tool, and I could imagine a finishing sequence where No Way dances to force his opponent into the arms of Gulak, who will make them tap out.

Again trying to find a name for a tag team, this time for the women tag division (for now in NXT, but they're going to be called-up once popular enough): the two members are Shea McCoy, renamed "Darra McCammon", and Lindsay Snow, renamed Rose Von Dee.
For those that would be unfamiliar with them, Shea is a non-binary wrestler with Irish origins, with "The Grittiest in the Game" as a nickname, and is what I'd call a "funny brawler" (which is to be expected when one was trained by the Chikara dojo at the time). As for her partner, Lindsay Snow is a jiu-jitsu competitor and tatto artist (who is also covered in those herself), and just as enthusiastic about fighting people much bigger than her.

I tried asking an AI for the sake of it, and the two suggestions were "The Irish Tattooed Warriors", which has to be the less creative name ever, and "Tat-O-Lanterns" which is pretty funny but doesn't really fit the vibe I want to give them.

Any suggestions ?

Woad Warriors or Woad Raiders? Woad was the plant that the traditional celtic war paint came from

If that is the origin, Celtic Warriors makes more sense, so I clearly go with Woad Warriors.

[MidKnightDreary]

Bonus points if you give them the Doomsday device as a finisher

[ArcheoOutOfNowhere]

Ironically enough, I thought of Woad Warriors already, what with my background in archaeology and all. However, when I mentioned the idea to a friend, we ended up speaking like Elmer Fudd for 10mins, and now I can't think of anything else when reading Woad Warriors.

So far, my best bet are either "Moxie Girls" or "Grit Ink Machine", but I'm still taking suggestions !

[MidKnightDreary]

Monsters Ink

[ArcheoOutOfNowhere]

Guys, if you were to pair Zoey Stark and Rachael Ellering as a face team, which of these two would you go for: "PowerBuff Girls" or "Forces of Nature" ?
(Also open to other suggestions obviously)

Does anyone have suggestions for Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum (both individual names and a new team name) ? I've signed them to WWE but can't think of a decent name for now so I figured I'd ask your creative minds.

Randy Floyd & Magnum Mount ... The Trailblazers. 

 

 

ohhh, i'm very late 🙃

Does anybody have a good name for the Aukland Raider & Crime Buster in ZEN? American football has so many specific terms that I feel like there has to be a hilarious name for a team between a football player and a cop, but I can’t come up with anything myself.

Strike Force or Striker Force. Striker is a position in futbol/soccer and a strike force is a military term.

I'm looking for a new name for Scotty 2 Hotty to fit an alliance with Gregory Helms in 2006. Helms has just turned to Gregory Helms and he's convinced Scotty to reject the fans and denounce his fun loving past and become a serious competitor like him. Was thinking of just using his real name, and I might, I think I want to at least keep "Scott" as a part of it

Also potentially a tag team name for the duo/group?

yeah, scott garland is good. scott taylor is maybe a bit too generic?!
you can call them "Cool Count" ... a mix of 3 Count and Too Cool 🙃

Years ago I wrote a dynasty on here and formed a midcard group around Helms. The other members were Lance Cade, Snitsky, & Tomko. I remember Helms said in their debut promo that they were sick of being held down by the main event wrestlers, and from now on they were the only ‘Clique’ that mattered in WWE. I even made their tag team finish ‘the Curtain Call’. Now you might not want to use all the same members, but I think the name and premise could be a good start.

I do like this, definitely want to put an enforcer type in the group. Was considering Eugene, renouncing the character and claiming her put it all on to make it WWE

Does anyone have a name for a stable, who has for a theme "Heirs of Lucha legendary families" ? Hector Guerrero is their manager, with Dominik Mysterio (as the leader for now), Atlantis Jr., El Santo Jr. and Natsumi Apache as the members.

I thought of "Nueva Generacion", but it's already taken.

Legado de Lucha

 

[ArcheoOutOfNowhere]

I like the name, but since I still have Legado del Fantasma (and Lucha House Party), I'm worried it would be too close. Would it bother you to have two stables with similar names if you were a fan ?

Personally, I wouldn't be bothered but I could see casual fans getting confused. What about Proximo? It's Spanish for "Next", as in "next generation". 

[ArcheoOutOfNowhere]

Loving both suggestions, so I might just mix them into "El Proximo Imperio" if I can find a nice logo idea for it !

So, I'm working on an original mod right now, and looking for a stable name for a Japanese fed called Pro Wrestling DREAM. The main 'heel' stable of the fed is called The Royal Guard, and to rival them I wanted to name the face stable something along the lines of The Peoples' Army... but all the translations I can find are specifically communist (which is JINMIN-GUN). So, I'm looking for another name... I don't want to name it after the lead wrestler in the stable, though, which would be NISHIMURA-GUN.

 

So... ideas?
