WWE’s History of Changing Ring Names - Episode 75

Apron Work Podcast

In this week's episode, we look at the name change heard around the NXT 2.0 world when WALTER was supposed to change his name to that of a Nazi U-boat commander (Gunther Stark) but instead settled for a coffee shop worker from Central Perk (Gunther). With the ridiculous name change, we discussed our feelings on how they missed searching Gunther Stark to see the history behind the name before filing for a trademark. We also talked about the inconsistency in WWE's history with changing ring names for new talent, ignoring a wrestler's lineage, and dropping the first or last name from established wrestlers. And as a bonus, we talk about the rumor that Vince McMahon doesn't view Finn Balor as a top guy, we welcome back Jon Moxley to AEW, and we talk about the comment made about Moxley's return by Bully Ray.
