Uncle Howdy
By Scott Keith on 16 June 2024
So, it seems like Uncle Howdy and his crew will be debuting on Monday. I don't expect the group to last long (I'll be shocked if they're still together – or even all employed – a year from now) for a few different reasons, but can we address the elephant in the room? “Uncle Howdy” is a friggin' terrible name.
Just give it the “Fink Test”. Can you imagine hearing, “And *new* WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Uncle Howdy”?
And what's with the mask? It's not exactly intimidating. Is he going to wear the mask when he wrestles? Cuz it's not a tight-fitting lucha mask, or even something along the lines of what Kane wore. Is he going to remove it once he gets to the ring? Cuz then he's just Bo Dallas, and all of the “lore” is gone.
Just call him “Bo Wyatt” or whatever and be done with it.
Take care,

I don’t think they really know either. This whole thing has bad idea written all over it.
