WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Plans To Return SmackDown Star To Previous Gimmick
He’s back? There are all kinds of ways to present talented wrestlers but not all of them are going to be hits. Occasionally you will see someone go from an idea that works very well to something that just misses and there is little way to predict what is going to happen. That was the case again recently in WWE, but now there is a chance of switching back to what worked before.

Butch also was now a wild man who would run around the arena and try to fight any opponent he could, unlike his more calm demeanor before the name change. According to WrestleVotes via GiveMeSport, Triple H is planning to return Butch to his former name by the end of the year at the latest. Butch ha..

Not A Fan: Wrestling Legend On Johnny Gargano: “He’s Not Over. Listen To That Crowd”
He’s not a fan. There are all kinds of wrestlers on the WWE roster today and it can be difficult to find something for all of them to do.
