"The idea behind that was they wanted me to come up with a name that had meaning in Gaelic, which is the Irish language, and I had come up with a few things. But Balor is the one-eyed demon king in Celtic mythology. So it kind of tied in with what I was doing with The Demon. Finn... There's a Celtic folk hero called Finn McCool, who was the Balor's arch enemy, so he was the babyface. Also, my dad's name is Finnton. Everyone calls him Finn. So we had a short list of names and I'd kind of looked into Finn extensively. Because it kind of tied in with Balor and then obviously a lot of people called my dad Finn it was a no brainer."

We are in the realism era. The smarks could only talk about work rate and being mad at vinces corny gimmicks and now we barely have any. Def shows a lack of imagination

Rusev got a classic gimmick and rusev one of the best on the roster.

Bray got a cool gimmick with his stable of hillbilly villains. Thats why hes been getting props and has life.

Brocks gimmick is being brock. That works

Dean being the lunatic fringe is eh but dean comes off as being true to his character so his works as well..

Kevin owens is like a schoolyard bully so i aint mad at him too much.

Aj is aj. Smark dream. Being phenomenal is good enough foe him but anderson and gallos need a lil help.

Nakamura lives his ginmick his works.

Finn balor is a lame name for the shyt he portrays but atleast he is sometjing extra.

Samoa joe is a lazy gimmick but people like him i will allow it

Rome and seth are lazy with theirs even tho i like them as wrestlers

Cena turned into the anerican hero ala hogan im not mad at him being just cena

Newday troll gimmick is lol even if names are yawn

Big cas and enzo come off as nyc area shyt talkers. Their gimmick is dope. Enzo being the mouth and cass being the hard ass kicker

Alberto del rio is fine tho i prefer alberto el patron.

Dolph is wack. So wack. Wish he left instead of cody
Sami zayn is ultra generic but i get it. Name sucks tho
All social outcasts are lame
Neville is lame

Cesaro im 50/50 on. Swiss superman is cool. Least his name dont sound generic as fukk.

Ones i weote are are most notable having good gimmicks even if names are shytty

Course jericho kane dudleys show taker trips golddust and truth go without saying

The rest of the roster needs some work in the imagination department

I think they purposely set Biff Busick up to fail with that name. He's a good worker, but they already have a guy that can do what he does in the ring and two guys with similar looks. He's worked under 3 different names since working with the WWE, so he'll probably end up being enhancement talent and getting them NXT house show/dark match checks.

:laugh:

imagine if it was reverse and the gimmick that got him over all of these years in the indies was sami zayn. He comes to the WWE and they give him an ugly mask and call him El Generico. IWC would've completely loss it :dead:
