10 Dumbest Wrestling Name Changes
3. Husky Harris
The perceived problem with Alex Rotundo was that he wasn't chiselled from granite. Even though his body shape required no explanation - much like Vader's didn't, much like Stan Hansen's didn't - and was/is a rugged and believable proper wrestling physique, it was unsuited to WWE's preferred look. They felt they had to explain it, which only serves to expose it with a harsh light. Or they liked ribbing the fat lad for their own amusement, which, to be fair, is a weekly occurrence with Kevin Owens.
And so 'Husky Harris' was born on the second season of NXT. Look, guys, he's got a belly on him. We're sorry. If it makes you feel better about this slob disgracing this very ring, we'll at least acknowledge it out of embarrassment. 'Fat F*ck Frank' is too on-the-nose, so let's just go with 'Husky Harris'. Yes, Husky Harris - let's stigmatise this promising talent through one apparently undesirable superficial attribute. That definitely won't guarantee failure and necessitate a full character reset.
His nickname - which the future Bray Wyatt himself apparently adapted! - was as bad. "The Army Tank with a Ferrari Engine" might as well mean "He's a lard a*se, but he's fast enough".
