Does All Elite Wrestling talent Wheeler yuta have a "Championship name?"
WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T doesn't think so.
During the latest recording of his own Hall of Fame podcast, current NXT broadcaster Booker T explained the reason why Yuta's monniker may have placed the young up and comer "behind the 8-ball immediately.” Check out the comments from Booker below.
On the name Wheeler Yuta:
“I’m thinking about guys from an overall perspective, and the one thing I’m thinking about [is] ‘champion.’ I’m thinking about this kid who’s like, ‘I’ve got to be champion.’ And the first thing I think about is, does Wheeler Yuta sound like a championship name? You know, that’s the first thing that jumps out to me. ‘The AEW Champion, Wheeler Yuta!’ He’s putting himself behind the 8-ball immediately.”
On the reason why Yuta reminds him of a former TNA talent:
“There’s a guy back in the day … A guy that had an abundance of talent back in the TNA days, and he went by the name of Elix Skipper, and I said, ‘Man, that’s just not a championship name. If the brother just changed his name, he might be looked at a little bit differently.”
Wheeler Yuta will challenge Daniel Garcia for the ROH Pure Championship at tonight's Final Battle event at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.
