Syllables for success in the WWE

By Scott Keith on 1 July 2017

Hello Scott,

To be a success it turns out you need a three-syllable name. They lend themselves easily to fan chants and grandiose ring announcements. It’s even better if your first name is one syllable and your second name is two: Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose.

You can still have success if your three-syllable name doesn’t follow the one-two pattern: Triple H, JBL, CM Punk, AJ Styles.

If my theory is correct, we can expect big things from, amongst others, Luke Harper and Chad Gable. Sadly, Shinsuke Nakamura is doomed.

NAK A MURA (clap clap clap-clap-clap)

Boom.
