Tom Guycott, are you telling me that if I were to sign for WWE and use my real name, that should I go to TNA, I/they would have to pay WWE to use my own name?
That's fucked up if true. |

Pretty sure you can't trademark 'real names', hence guys like Angle and Jeff Hardy going by their known names. Gimmick names however are a different story (Kennedy, Dudleys, Billy Gunn and so on)

That was my understanding of it. Tom Guycott seems to think differently

...Speaking of wrestler's sons, I don't understand why The British Bulldog's son is David Hart Smith, you know, having his dad's last name as the second last name. He's Bulldog' son, not Bret's. His name isn't even David, it's Harry.

is he using his mom's maiden name (Hart), since BB married his mom? I DUNNO.
The David sounds good with the H (which was supposed to mean Harry), so instead, just ended up using a modified version of his own name? |

...and I'd sell it like a champ!
XL, what I'm saying is that if WWE wanted to sign you, my guess is that they'd try to make it *somewhat* more appealing for you to accept that they want to call you "Carlton Humphry Van Der Poole" and make money off of that in perpetuity weither you are with the company or not without any possible legal entanglements of you using your real name as a ring name and wanting to leave the company 5 years later, or even leaving/being fired on bad terms. Never said I was right. I said that's my take on it. Also, Naitch, Rey dropped the Jr. in addition to the "i" transplant. So there was that too. Last edited by Tom Guycott; 11-11-2010 at 03:46 AM. |

WWE felt they didn't need to use the "Jr." because WWE felt that since his uncle (Rey Misterio) never had ties to WWE, they didn't need to acknowledge him by having to call Rey "Jr"
he says that in his book |

I just meant I forgot to mention that part in addition to what I said before. It wasn't intended to be me coming off as an ass correcting you. Looking back, it does kinda come off that way. My bad.
As for DH, my guess is the "David" is a play off of "Davey Boy"- you know, as if you couldn't tell by looking at the massive bastard who his daddy is. He's a spitting image of his dad. A taller, non-fanny pack wearing spitting image. |

Come on, split up the Hart Dynasty, so Harry can wear the Union Jack like his father.

Maybe Michael McGillicutty ain't doing the "perfection" gimmick because Dolph Zigglar is kinda doing it already

It's just his song not his gimmick. I don't think he has ever referred to himself as Perfection or anything like it. Besides it is Smackdown, so it doesn't count anyways.

Also, WWE only uses "Junior" when talking about midgets. Hence why it was Chavo and Chavo Sr., and currently Ted DiBiase and Ted Sr.

I would think one reason is they don't want to always be referring to his father, Mr. Perfect. I mean, he did die of a cocaine overdose while working out and that isn't really a good thing in this PG era.
