"Foreigners don't deserve first names, this is 'Murica goddammit!"

Seriously though, they've only been doing this to non-Americans.

Calling him Neville is super weird because that was my grandfather's name

Breh...your fam ain't from Trinidad are they?

 

[Dillah810]

Adrian Neville always made me think of Aaron Neville lol

 

[DANJ!]

In some cases it works...other times, not so much.

Funny thing is tho, some people who have full names never get referred to by it. How often do any of us say "Dean Ambrose"?

Yeah my grandfather was

FROM VICTORIA, TEXAS....AUSTIN!!!!!

Neville is easier to chant and Adrian much like Antonio, Alexander, Langston, etc. is completely irrelevant

I miss the larger than life, long ass names...with a first name, last name and nickname

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
'Macho Man' Randy Savage
Roddy 'Rowdy' Piper
'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka
Bret 'The Hitman' Hart
Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine

Epic as fukk..its what wrestling was known so of course they had to get rid of that too

John Cena
Randy Orton
Seth Rollins
Daniel Bryan

..just doesn't sound as big time. They got 'The Viper' and shyt but its not attached to the wrestler's brand like Jake 'The Snake' Roberts...you can't even compare.

won't be surprised if they get rid of Banks and just call her Sasha or vice versa.

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

White people love calling each other by their last name

I personally liked the name Aleksandr Rusev cause the Slavic spelling and allusion to the GOAT Greco Roman wrestler Aleksanndr Karelin.

The worst IMO was trying to call Bobby Lashley just "Lashley" cause it really did make him seem like a broke ass Goldberg wannabe

It's not like people would chant his first name anyway, which is so stupid and they haven't. Vince thinks the fans are so dumb they would get confused on what to do if he had a first name. It's how out of touch he is with things.
