Tag Teams / Stables / Naming Thread Suggestions

[Captain Kayfabe]

yeah ... thanks ... these are good names and a good story idea:)

but, could you also give me your opinion on that:

 

 

... because i wanted to call her Saraya Knight Jr ... but, i don't know if it's common in the US and/or britain to have 'Jr' added to a girls name?

you know what i mean?

 

I have no idea about women being called "Jr". I have never heard of any instances of it before.

It's not common at all, but there are rare occurrences.

[Bobby Brown]

It's not common at all, but there are rare occurrences.

 

alright, that's what i thought.

 

and what do you think in this special case?

 

Britani Knight or Saraya Knight jr

?

[Jaysin]

alright, that's what i thought.

 

and what do you think in this special case?

 

Britani Knight or Saraya Knight jr

?

 

Britani Knight or Saraya Jade would be better.

[Bobby Brown]

thanks to everyone involved in this case for the help ... very much appreciated!

Hello !

 

Not used to ask for help on naming teams and stables, but I'm struggling to set up my new save so much that my brain has decided it has used all of its creativity for the next couple of days

 

So, anyway, to give a bit of background, I decided to create a company based on the alumnis of Cheeseburger's Worldwide Wrestling Dojo, along with a couple of guys who trained at least once there and those who gave seminars. Hence, I know almost no one and had to watch matches for everyone to get an idea of "who" they were, so to speak. And while I don't currently have a tag team title, I thought it wouldn't hurt to test a couple of pairing that make sense just to see and hit gold: since one of two guys with great chemistry already had a manager, I decided to make them into a stable.

 

But I have no interesting idea for a name. Like, at all. I'm trying to avoid obvious names, and that makes it difficult to find something. Soooo... what would you call a stable consisting of Vita VonStarr (the woman in ROH's "The Righteous"), Blaxstrom (the self proclaimed "Tattooed Torture Expert") and Dylan Mesh (former ROH Dojo trainee and nicknames "Pennsylvanian Warlock") ? I don't really have huge plans for them in terms of storylines, but VonStarr is probably going to win the Women's title while managing the other two and (if I do make a tag title) Blaxstrom and Mesh will probably win it at some point too. However, unless I end up hiring someone else who'll fit the "theme" or find someone in the roster who'd be an obvious choice as the leader, they're not going to be of importance for the main title. (Mind you, if anone wants a list of said roster to see if one could be said leader, that's not a problem)

 

Thanks !

[Suplewich]

Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me with a new company/save I would like to do. I'm thinking about something heavily inspired by Lucha Underground. It would take place in an, undisclosed location, underground arena which I would call The Coliseum. However I'm looking for a few things.

 

How can I name the company? I'm looking for [something] Coliseum as the name, but don't know what the first word could possibly be. Second, how can I name my world title, second title and tag titles? I was thinking about the second title being something like The Gift of the Gods, but I'm not sure how it would work. I'll probably just have said second title defended weekly.

 

If it helps, The Coliseum would look a lot like the underground arena from the WWE 2K17 Suplex City trailer. If someone could help me with all of this, please let me know.

How about "Gladiators Of The Coliseum"?

[Suplewich]

How about "Gladiators Of The Coliseum"?

 

Oh I like that. Gladiators's Coliseum. Do you have any idea how I could name the championships? Or what they could be?

[Captain Kayfabe]

How about "King Of The Coliseum" for the main/top championship?

 

I like "Brothers In Arms" for a tag title.

The Reckoned, The Beckoned, The Unsung, The Plain Straight Best, The Hard Corps.

[ArcheoOutOfNowhere]

Oooh, I really like The Unsung ! I could see them portraying themselves as being unpraised, avoided, hated for how they look, for how they act, for how they speak and deciding to take over the wrestling world starting from where they can.

 

Thanks !

 

(Also, for Suplewich, if you do a Women's title, you could call it the Gladiatrix division, to keep the Roman theme of the Coliseum ?)

[Suplewich]

Hello, I need some help again please. This time is for match type & names for said match types. To mention again, my company is called Gladiators's Coliseum. It takes place in a dark underground arena. It's a company heavily inspired by Lucha Underground, but instead or a temple it's underground. The arena looks like the WWE 2K17 Suplex City trailer's underground fighting arena. Lucha Underground has some cool name for their matches and I would love to do the same You don't have to help me with all of them, but I'm looking to name a Hardcore/No Holds Barred/Deathmatch stipulation, a Steel Cage stipulation, a Casket stipulation. Also if you have any match type ideas of your own that would fit well with the theme of the save please let me know I'm totally open!

The War of Hoplomachus - Hardcore/No Holds Barred/Deathmatch - Hoplomachus is Greek for "armed fighter" and was a type of Gladiator so it lends itself to the fighters "arming" themselves.

 

Caesar's/Commodus's Caged Coliseum - Cage Match - If Caesar is too on the nose for you, Commodus was a deranged Emperor during the Roman Empire so is worth noting.

 

Sarcophagus Skirmish - Casket Match

 

Andabata Anarchy - Blindfold Match - The Andabata were "blindfolded gladiators", or a "gladiator who fought blind".

 

Cestus Clash - Boxing/Bare Knuckle Brawl - Again, the Cestus was a fist-fighter or boxer who wore the cestus, a heavy-duty type of knuckleduster, but otherwise had no armour.

 

Bystander's Backlash - Lumberjack Match - It can either be a straight lumberjack match or take its cues from Lucha Underground and literally arm spectators with whips.

 

Caesar's/Commodus's Count - Last Man Standing Match - If you choose one for the Caged Coliseum, you can use the other for this which is a traditional Last Man Standing Match. In my head, I imagine your authority figure doing the counting from a balcony in a really exaggerated manner like the emperors portrayed in really bad gladiatorial movies.

 

Roman Warfare - Royal Rumble Match

 

The Coup de Grâce - I-Quit Match - The way I imagine this in my head is an I-Quit Match but when the loser has said "I Quit", the attention turns to the supporters who - like the real Gladiator times - decide the losers fate. If they decide mercy, the winner simply leaves but if they decide that they want to see the Coup de Grâce (the final blow) then the winner gets to deliver one last blow of his choosing. In my head, this could actually lead to a lot of interesting stories too like the winner of a match deciding to walk away from the baying crowd and showing the loser mercy despite the outcome, and thus the two former rivals actually move on to a potential partner/friendship.

 

Reach for the Rudis - Annual Tournament - A Rudis was a wooden sword given to gladiators who earned their freedom. If they chose to remain a gladiator, they were called a rudiarius, which you could name the winner of the tournament. Naturally, they'd win a physical Rudis (wooden sword) too.

 

The Stones of Spartacus - You mention Lucha Underground so I presume you're familiar with the Aztec Medallion? If not, you can easily look it up on Google. This would basically be along the same lines; they're basically used as low-tier titles that you can reward people you hope to push soon.

That's exactly the stuff I was looking for! I just need to re-check my title names again as right now all I got is Gladiators's World Championship, World Tag Team Championships & Cruiserweight. Thank you very much, it was perfect.

You're welcome.

 

As Gladiators famously fought for their freedom as many (not all) were slaves, criminals or prisoners-of-war, I think you should think about incorporating "Freedom" into the name of one of your titles, maybe even the main one. If you want to stick to more Western sounding names, simply the Freedom Championship works but if you don't mind taking your cues from Japanese companies, the Fight For Your Freedom Championship is a cool name. Similarly, you could name the Tag Team Championships the Bonds of Battle Championship. Cruiserweight is a little harder to come up with something but Parmula comes to mind, which was basically a small shield used by Gladiators. You could either go straight for the Parmula Championship or the Power of Parmula Championship.

 

Also, what were effectively "gladiator schools" were called Ludi so if you ever start a dojo, you should either name it that or incorporate it into the name. You could then maybe add a trophy/title along the lines of "The Ludi Coronet" which can be won by your graduates.

 

I wish you luck. I think you have a great idea so I hope you have fun with it.

Thank you, this was all incredibly helpful! One last thing I forgot to ask for was a name for the TV Show. I had Fight Night in mind, but I'm not sure if it's a good fit.

[ArcheoOutOfNowhere]

For a TV Show, you could simply call it "Warriors of the Arena" but I kinda like "Sanguinem et circenses", even though it's far too long: it's based on "panem et circenses" ("bread and games") but obviously, blood is more likely to be present than bread

 

Also, for matches, a couple of other propositions:

 

Morituri match: An Elimination Chamber type of match, named on "Morituri", "Those who will die". The name could probably also fit for matches with a "Loser leaves the company" gimmick, or if you have RP deaths.

 

Naumachia match: Let's be real, the concept would be awfully complicated to set up in real life, but I would absolutely love to see this kind of match. Naumachia are naval battles, and while I don't think having a naval equivalent to the infamous Monster truck match would work, I could see a Royal Rumble or even War Games type of matchs where the rings are made to look like boats, and the goal is to be the last man not thrown into the water.

This is more difficult because you've got to think about what fits with the name of your company because more often than not, people would say the company and the show together so they've got to roll off the tongue together which is harder with a company that isn't easily initialized. I think that's why Lucha Underground only went with Lucha Underground. I do like ArcheoOutOfNowhere's Latin/Greek idea but I'd go for something more mainstream (a Latin phrase most people know) and something that rolls off the tongue better, like "Gladiator's Coliseum: Carpe Diem". It's almost poetic and if you didn't know, it means seize the day so goes really well with your theme too.

Also, for matches, a couple of other propositions:

 

Morituri match: An Elimination Chamber type of match, named on "Morituri", "Those who will die". The name could probably also fit for matches with a "Loser leaves the company" gimmick, or if you have RP deaths.

Both great ideas.

I was bored and I was still thinking about this, so I decided to put together a logo. Feel free to use it if you like it.

Thank you guys, this was all incredibly helpful and I'll remember everything. I'm definitely gonna go with the Morituri Match for matches to the death, as yes, I do have some deaths in the save. I mean Mojo Rawley killed two policeman already, haha.

 

I was bored and I was still thinking about this, so I decided to put together a logo. Feel free to use it if you like it.

 

 

That is exactly the kind of logo I wanted for the company, but was never able to make. Thank you so much, you're too kind! Will definitely use it going forward!
