10 WWE Tweaks Triple H Needs To Make Quickly

8. Speaking Of Names...

Can we do away with the ridiculous names like Happy Corbin or Madcap Moss?

By stuffing a gimmick into the wrestler's name, it almost immediately undercuts their credibility. Look, Corbin might not be the most inspiring wrestler on the roster, but he is a good big man and has enough charisma to help carry storylines. From shifting to 'Happy' Corbin, he instantly felt like a non-concern.

The same could be said about 'Madcap' Moss, who has surprised a lot of people since breaking away from Corbin in a well received program. Surely it's time to return to Riddick Moss?

Re-christening stars with new names rarely works, and although this seems to be happening with NXT call-ups, doing it to superstars who have already appeared on the roster just emphasises how fake and pre-planned wrestling is. This isn't a 'It's Still Real To Me!' rant, but breaking that emersion doesn't help.

With that said, the name change from WALTER to Gunther seems to have actually worked, and with his new physique he feels like a new character. But, if The Game fancies rolling 'Der Ring General' back to WALTER, then this writer won't complain.

Another quick and easy fix for Triple H, and another that would be most welcome.
