Love It CVVCLIPS Bro.
All the respect in the world for BPJ, he gets a lot of shit but he's tailor made for NXT. Good guy.
All of this for his fans to be called lex offenders
It was either that or Pill Poppers
First Lex Offenders
Now OBA FEMINISTS
NXT is wild
@@castielchieng7475even the main roster has Omosexuals
I'm proud to say I am a Lex Offender
@@izr1t3Don't forget us TransJINDERs!🔥🔥
BPJs Name is Based on his late Sister Alexis Reed and his Step Dad King
i think we know
@@drip8052Yup Yup
He shouldn't have named himself after a girl though doesn't sound right.
It worked for a lot of 80s glam rockers, I'm guessing that was the thought process
Saw him he’s good nxt really helping him get into his psycho heel persona can’t wait for the day to see him on the main roster
His name still honours his family, just not in the way it used to. I also think if he kept the Pillman Jr he wouldn't be able to be his own man he'll just always just be his dads son
He’s one of the wrestlers that got me interested in NXT again, even with the Steel Panther sounding name and looks 😂
His name sounds like some kind of new car model.
Lexus
I personally love the name. And honestly even if you don't like it you gotta respect the meaning.
The future is bright for Lexis King.
I love the meaning behind the name!
His fans should be called TransLexuals
“I can’t do a bunch of flippy doos” thats why he didn’t get on in AEW 🤣
It wasn't that. He just didn't have any personality in AEW. That wasn't his fault though. He got stuck with a bad gimmick tag team and TK dropped the ball with their booking.
@@thestonedgeek8928right his debut was pretty cool at first but then the varsity blondes thing killed him
@thestonedgeek8928 If he was pushed property in AEW, he'd be hella over, but naaaahhhh. Cause he wasn't a small workrate wrestler, they made him as boring as possible.
Hell, a similar thing is happening to Wardlow. He was crazy over after beating MJF, even winning the TNT championship, but because a large guy with a muscular physique was organically over, and not some small workrate guy like Pockets or Wheeler Useless, his momentum was screwed to no return, and he's literally returned to being a big dumb bodyguard after literally breaking away from one in another faction, and it ain't even his fault.
@@shadowof7662 yeah fuck off with that loser take. I'm not taking the "opinion" of a Cornette cult members seriously.
Thank goodness. No stupid gymnastic exhibitions
The name change is fine. He really got nowhere as BPJ Jr. on the indies. And as much as his Dad really began to change the game in WWE, he passed before getting to the point that a legacy wrestler bearing his surname has the credibility of an Orton, Rhodes, Flair etc.
Was the name Really holding him back on the indies?
@@kiptinobvious1622 yes. mainly cause everyone compared him to his father that he barely knew
I know Lexis is his sisters name but I wonder if Alex King would've sounded better
I’m happy for him
Lexis king is one of the worst wrestling names I've ever heard. Saying his name makes me feel like I'm asking for the best available rental car.
😂
I hope that pillmam owns the Lexus king name.
If he can’t be called Lex King due to a subtle confusion with Lex Luger, then why couldn’t he call himself Alex King?? Lexis King sounds like a girl asking for a brand new car.
Alex is so generic
He looks like Kurt Cobain
Probably why he’s wearing that nirvana shirt 😂 glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that
where my registered lex offenders at?!
Lexual Predators rise up !
😂 wtf
My orientation is bilexual
I’m just a Lexi boy
@@user-xs4wm4vm4w 🎵Lexi Boyyyyyy🎵
He seems to be a cool person
Let him win the king of the ring
People mad about a name change really need to get a life. He needs to build his own persona. His real name wouldn’t have got him more over than he is now anyway
Let's be honest, the name sucks. When your real name is Brian Pillman Jr. any other name is going to pale in comparison. It's WWE not wanting to reference his father and/or let him use his real name for royalties when he leaves WWE.
I respect his choice to honor his sister and stepdad but the name is not good. Especially after they already acknowledged him by using his real name on his debut only to change it a week later
he needs to earn that name.
the name’s alright. At least we can be Lex Offenders
@@prasunkumar1125he has to earn his own name? Since when?
WWE literally referenced his father everytime he shows up. That's his choice to have this name, not yours. And it's a great name
Registered Lex Offenders rise up!! 💪💪💪
Tiger King
I still think Brian King is a better name
It means he doesn't own it, They do. Riiight?
WWE owns every wrestler's name that works for them.
@@dangerousdays2052not every but like 95%; there are some exceptions like AJ Styles
Imagine Dominik Mysterio changed his last name to Guerrero
Dominik? Oh you mean Tom and Nick. Great guys well Tom is I’ve never actually met Nick but I assume he’s nice too
@@MrTorgueHighFiveFlexington No I'm talking about Rey's son and Judgment Day member.
@@MrTorgueHighFiveFlexingtonHow is Nick? I can't find him on Facebook.
@@jerry85g7sadly Nick is no longer with us. There was a car accident back in late 2021. Driver blew a .19 and his trial comes up this March. I’m hoping for Justice for Nick’s family.
It does sound like a girl's name, maybe alex king would've been better.
after the antics and scheming he does on NXT i got interested and started to boo his heel character.
Says he looks like nirvana..And you look like you should be in NSYNC CVV
Ok how about lexxis king? Like Nikki syxx
Lexis King does a better Rock and Roll gimmick better than Chris Jericho.
BS...Lexis King sounds pretty generic to be honest. Brian Pillam Jr solidies you, it makes you stand you. The legacy behind that name....
What legacy? Nobody even knows who Brian Pillman is unless you’re a fan from the 90’s. He needs to build his own persona not leeching off his real name. That wouldn’t have got him more over than he is now
@@ITSHIM1294 Just coz you or anyone else hadn't watched wrestling in the 90s does not mean Brian Pillman never had a legacy. By your own logic, that would make Owen Hart and Bam Bam Bigelow not legends too. And yes, I grew up with wrestling in the early 90s.
Imagine having a legendary wrestling name, and then choosing to name yourself after a Toyota.
Lexis king will always sound like a female wrestler name
It is a pretty gay sounding name
It kinda is, that's sorta the point. Listen to him explain.
I like it
for someone who says he doesnt want to live off his fathers name he certainly is talking about it a lot
That's just his character. Besides why would he want to live off the name of someone he never knew as a kid?
He got in the door off the name but he’s trying to show that he’s his own person
1. Do you know what a CHARACTER is?
2. He mentioned him like ONE time in this entire interview probably and that’s after he was asked.
3. Is he NOT allowed to talk about his dad????
Lexis king.....bro stop
He will not make it with this name
Yes he will. He doesn't want to be compared to his father, he never even knew him
I agree. He will be lost in the shuffle no matter where he goes
@@FrederickChampaguno No you don't agree. You have to be an idiot to think that. He will not be lost in the shuffle, especially over his decision to make his name. He's already having a much better run in WWE in weeks than he had in AEW for years
@@NiteHuntRick the problem is the guy is too short to be a main eventer.
lexis king is about as cool and interesting as an empty can of pringles
Should have kept his daddy’s name
It's a girl name though?
He looks like a rebellious kid trying to be all different and alternative when he knows in his gut his gimmick wont work.
Cry more
Cry more
Wrong. He knows it will work. It's already working
Bhhhh
Yeah it means he'll never get over.
Wrong. It means he's already getting over. You just don't like the name
@@NiteHuntRick 🥱
@@SchmergDergen That right there is why nobody will ever take you seriously. He's already one of the most over wrestlers on NXT
@@NiteHuntRick nope.
@@SchmergDergen Yes. This is why your life sucks
I'm sorry, but the name is awful.
He 100% does not look like he could be in nirvana. You are extra delusional today. Oof.
yes he does
It aint that deep 😂
@@farah.tin what universe?
Maybe not Nirvana, but he definitely looks like he could be a front man of an 80s/90s rock band.
