FUCKING UP THE FAMILY NAME

Being a guy who travels for a living definitely makes it hard to keep up with blog posts. But here is one that I rattled off in the van the other day, since I just watched the premiere episode of NXT Season Two (and saw episode two yesterday).

Another quick disclaimer: I've yet to watch Fatal 4-Way, so results and junk from the prediction game will most likely go up tomorrow/next day or something. Once I get home I'll be right back on track for consistent posts - honest! Anyway, on with the show:

While season two of NXT kicked off with a loud, rotten fart of an excuse for an episode, the thing that maybe bothers me the most is the new name that Joe Hennig has. I truly don't understand that logic behind changing a guy's name when his gimmick is based entirely on the names of his father and grandfather.

Why Michael McGuillicutty? That is literally as if Stone Cold Steve Austin had a son who then came into the WWE and was like "my name is Geopphrey Jahosephatts!"

So here are some fake names I propose for the fake children of second and third generation wrestlers:

MY FAVOURITE MATCH OF RIGHT NOW: FLAIR V. STEAMBOAT - CHI-TOWN RUMBLE '89

I just watched this one again a couple nights ago and HOLY DAMNIT does it ever hold up as being one of the greatest of all time. The crowd is hot as blazes, the wrestling is perfect (obvs) and I just love the overall presentation and style of it all, mainly because it looks like a sport.

If you have this on DVD (Rise and Fall of WCW + I could've sworn it was on the Ultimate Ric Flair Collection, but it's got their WrestleWar '89 match, also one of the greatest) you should definitely put it on and give it another go.

If not, here's the match in it's entirety:
