Stories about Finn were taught in primary school over here, one of the GOATs. Like he wasn't as fancy as some others but he was wise as fuck. I believe he's asleep in a cave right now preparing to defend Ireland. Good choice.

Problem is in America if you have that name, it means you're a little piece of shit. Which I guess in a way is fitting considering how I used to look at that little asshole.

Here in Albany, the name Huck Finn is beloved. Our Huck Finn's Warehouse is one of the most popular places to visit. They have couches, dining room sets, and carpets. It's pretty exciting.

Isn't it racist in and out of itself implying that "no hood clothes" == no black people?

I mean not all black people dress like that and there are white people that do.

It's less color related and more being against the whole style.
Who are you actually trying to convince here?

That specific kind of dress code has its roots in racism. There are better ways to make sure your place's customers are of the social/financial class you want to attract.

Guys,

Finn Balor isn't a bad name at all. Get a god damn grip of yourselves.

Don't worry the next NXT pay per view seems to be Dec 11. So around that time everyone will move on to Kevin Steen new name when he debuts.

People who don't like the name should tweet him because he came up with it and thought it was good.

I'm not trying to convince anyone, I'm giving my take on it.

If a black guy with a suit walked in there would he be escorted out or treated differently? If a white guy in "hood clothes" walked in there would he be allowed to stay?

The dress code might have it's roots on racism ( I have no idea if it has but I take your word for it) but there are more reasons to looked down on it than "it's black peoples clothes".

Of course, I'm not american so I don't know how that reality is over there. What I can say it's the clothes themselves is why someone might refuse to serve people and not the color of the skin of who wears it.

It was cool because Devitt made it cool. He'll do the same for Finn Balor, I've no doubt.

"Because even though you've seen me before, you haven't seen me like this. I'm reeeeeal, I'm like a shark...and all of you fans in the WWE Universe are the Finns that propel my body to my prey."

To me Prince Devitt sounds more like a "wrestler name". Finn Balor sounds like some shitty DND character name.

That sounds like something Sina would say honestly

That's what being part of the WWE Machine is all about.

Same logic behind people resisting any sort of positive change. Prince is an awful name, doubly so for a face.

Prince Devitt might be awfull but Finn Balor isn't that much better.

But it's going to be worse when they ruin Kevin Steen since that name it's pretty amazing.
 
Prince Devitt is so bad of a name that I've literally never seen a second of this guy's work yet. I wasn't willing to get invested even in a 15 second "oh that was cool" moment on YouTube for that name.

Yeah, this just might be it. Everything's so separated by race here, but we're not allowed to explicitly say we're doing that, so people find loopholes.

That might be it, I admit.

If that expression is most of the time associated with black people I can see how that is racist but, those kinds of things here, are more like "that guy dresses like that so he might be up to something" than "that guy is black so he might be up to something". Or at least that's how I perceive it.
 
So my wrestling name is apparently Gunner Hawk.

HAHAHAHAHA. I'm not sure if that's legitimately awesome, or legitimately terrible.

Either way, it makes me sound like one of the Expendables (one very specific member who maybe also has a degree in Chemistry as I do).

My diva name?

Primal Lady.

PFFFFFT.

These name generator things are usually shit, but this one is amazing.
