in time, WWE will change HIS name to something stupid, too…

Date: Jul 31, 2010 at 4:32 AMSince Godwin isn’t his real last name WWE could trademark it, which would stop him from using it in TNA or anywhere else. Also since WWE owns the rights to Henry Godwin’s name they can take credit for it.
But if he does make it to the main roster they’ll probably change it then anyway.

Again, WWE just can’t seem to get out of its own way at this point.

Date: Jul 31, 2010 at 4:49 AMAnd Randy Orton. And John Cena. And Dave Batista. And Brock Lesnar. And Kurt Angle. Plenty of former and current tops stars have been allowed to use their real names. Or in Orton’s case, specifically because of his lineage.
To NOT let Curt Hennig’s son use the Hennig family name, while allowing Rhodes and DiBiase and Natty Niedhart and D. H. Smith that privilege, is asinine. And the story they concocted, wherein it was “HIS” idea to change his name, to “stand out on his own”, yeah RIGHT. As if he WOULDN’T have wanted to represent his granddad and dad. Right.

Date: Jul 31, 2010 at 5:06 AMThe thing that puzzles me most is why they make wrestlers like Chavo, Rey and Ted drop the “junior” from their names . No one in WWE is allowed to use a Jr.

Date: Jul 31, 2010 at 8:04 AMi thought the reason they changed the name of henning was because he wanted to make a name for himself… and not to be known as the son of a former wrestler.

Date: Jul 31, 2010 at 8:22 PMI think everyone is missing the bigger picture with the last names. If Vince can make a star out of a wrestler and that wrestler is better known as a stage name, rather than his real name, he can have the rights to it (the stage name) and have a bigger hold over the potential star. Sure their are exceptions but if McGillicuty somehow becomes a big name…Vince can copywrite it. If he were to leave to say Tna, then they would have to market him as someone else, thus starting all over.

Date: Aug 01, 2010 at 6:59 PMMichael Cole mentioned that the name McGillicuty is
Henning’s mother’s maiden name on NXT few weeks ago.
I’m not sure if it’s true or not but I still agree with
all of you guys about how i hate the name change on
the second gen. stars.
We all know he’s Joe Henning. We all know Husky Harris
is a Rotundo.
Kaval gets to mention his old name Low Ki on television
and how come the name Henning is never mentioned when
McGillicuty’s talking?
Did you notice McGillicuty never used Curt Henning’s
trademark moves on NXT? He used it all the time on FCW
He even had to change his finisher which used to be a
modified version of Perfectplex.
I just don’t get it.
