But they have acknowledged real names. Even if they're not the REAL real names.

I mean first names are fine, but not DAVE

|  #25 Posted on 4.11.02 2052.16 | There's nothing wrong with Batista. But DAVE Batista? I sure hope that they don't refer to him as that, it's just not scary... or mysterious... or intimidating... or any good.

| #29 Posted on 5.11.02 0020.45 | Give the guy a nickname and we might have something. But I'll admit, "Leviathan" Dave Batista doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I think it's time to go back to the drawing board.
Since we're playing on his genetic strength, why can't we call him "Genetic Freak" Dave Batista?
Or would that upset that OTHER Genetic Freak?

He'd loose the Bristish audience though, due to the creation of a huge afro wearing dude from the 70's of the same name to sell Pot Noodles.

| #33 Posted on 5.11.02 0618.32 | Many of y'all here prefer naming him just Batista... what if they were to go the other way and drop his last name?

I mean, if you're gonna go with the goofy name, then damnit, then go large with it.

They could call him Super Dave Batista and have him do stunts that always hilariously end up in disaster. Hey, if you're gonna call a guy who looks badass Dave, you might as well give him a comedy gimmick while you're at it.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that guy. He was cool, though - sort of like an imaginary friend, wasn't he? Maybe they should give Batista an afro, too. We need more monster heels with afros, that's what I think. | Rudoublesedoublel

| #37 Posted on 5.11.02 1116.00 | | I would have to argue that The Rock is actually Rocky Maivia (in WWE land) simply because that is how he was introduced. Due to his high self esteem, he christened himself "The Rock" (which is why fans chant "Rocky", they don't chant "The Rock"). I'm not sold on the Hurricane argument either because he is still called "Hurricane Helms" or Greg "Hurricane" Helms by the announcers on occasion. But, I do agree, that "Dave" doesn't fit as a menacing name, but you throw a nickname in there and you may have something. | The Amazing Salami

And for the record, I'm OK with Dave Batista. I'm kinda bored with cheesy gimmick nicknames.

Okay, that's the funniest thing I have read this week. Dave the Giant...Ha ha.
Perhaps the WWE is phasing the entire Raw roster towards regular names. I hear that these changes are in order:
Larry "Triple" Helmsley
Horatio Kane
Ivan Goldust
Jamal Lefkowitz
Rosey Rabinowitz
Rico Constantino (that name is great all by itself)
Lukewarm Christian
Victoria "Makes a menacing fist in Trish's general direction" Langwell
