But why, it seems like such a lateral move. Neither name is unique or exciting in and of itself. I'm pretty sure there were at least 5 dudes named Chris Harris that I went to school with. While I may have known less Brandon Walkers, I'm sure I've ran into a few. It seems like such a pointless name change.

Typical WWE, turn an interesting wrestler into a really boring one.

I'm not sure if they made him more boring, I'm saying both names are boring.

Writer Jen has a cousin named Brandon and loves the show Walker Texas Ranger and there you have it
His name is Braden, is it not?

I saw his debut match. He's not in great shape
WWE wants to own the name if he gets big. Simple as that.

Yeh they don't want TNA to get any credit. Can't see him lasting long though. Why did he leave TNA anyway?

Wonder if he is from the great P.J. Walker wrestling family...
I hope his brother is Cordell.

I believe you are correct, but I stand by my original point.
Loved the 'Wildcat' chants, dunno why they just didn't stick with that. I was hoping he'd appear on Raw, and not fat, but at least he's on TV now, good luck to him
Harris could have been a main eventer in TNA if he had just held on a little bit longer.
He'll be relegated to the mid-card for his career until they boot his ass and he goes the way of Trevor Murdoch before him - another cowboy riding off into the sunset.

WWE Midcarder or TNA Maineventer...hmmm somehow WWE Midcarder sounds better, plus there is no proof TNA would put the belt on homegrown talent besides Joe.
Unless Harris got REALLY huge (Talking Joe status) he'd still be making more in WWE as a midcard guy than in TNA.

I just remember them pushing him to be "that guy" who breaks through the mid-card and into the main event scene (kind of how they started billing Kaz when he came back to TNA). I think he was the mystery guy for the King of the Mountain match in 2007 or something, which means that the company at least has some kind of faith in him.
I heard that he was initially unhappy with the company when he wanted to split up America's Most Wanted, and after they did that, he just didn't have the "it" factor on TV, and so they pulled him back a bit up until he asked for his release.

walker's finisher could be suffocating his opponents with his fat

That name is pretty boring. Maybe he's being punished for becoming fat.
Oh and
I hope his brother is Cordell.

What the hell did he do when he got his WWE Contract? Did he dive into a vat of pudding and eat his way out?

Lance Storm legend lives on:
In a recent column on his official website located at StormWrestling.com, Lance Storm had the following to say regarding former TNA star Chris Harris making his WWE debut last week on ECW: "- Speaking of huge wastes, quite the debut for Braden Walker. I don't know Chris Harris but anyone who shows up for their WWE debut in the worst shape of their career, deserves to be fired. Wellness policy aside, I don't believe the treadmill is on the banned substance list!"

I think I know how WWE logic works out....
Writer 1: Well, we need to give him his own name. Well, the guy's name is Brandon, right? Billy, Bob, Buddy, something that begins with a B? We'll start off with that. He's not a Diva, so he needs his own last name....
*half an hour later*
Writer 2: Hey, did anyone hear about Chuck Norris killing people on the set of Walker, Texas Ranger?
Writer 1: That's it! Brandon Walker! People will hear "Walker" and think about Chuck Norris!
Writer 2: What the fuck?
Writer 1: Left sock plus a spider equals "the fuck". I'm such a fucking jenius!!! Time for a deep fried victory twinkie!!!
Writer 2: ........................:-\

You can tell you have a shitty name when people don't even remember the right one. Why not just call him Wildcat Walker, or something shitty like that. Still shitty, but people would at least remember who he was.

Also, the shape he's in doesn't bother me nearly as much as how generic he seemed overall. Boring attire, boring name and he basically seemed like someone jobbing to Charlie Haas on Heat. I think we'll see him repackaged very soon. This is the second coming of Gunner Scott.

*In John Morrison voice* What ever happened to that guy?

He looked like one of the late eighties jobbers. :(
Demolition vs. Jimmy Powers and Braden Walker!
I had never seen this guy before, so when I saw him on ECW I thought for sure Estrada was gonna win, as I thought this guy was just a local jobber.
