This one is a bit of an offshoot from his appearance in Beyond Wrestling, where he wrestled as Johnny Foxwoods. The show was at the Foxwoods Resort and Casino, and it was a one-off show for him, so why not go for it? He can just do it on an even grander scale with WWE.

It's akin to using an old trope for a new generation. In the past, wrestlers would pander to the crowd by wearing the local sports team's colors. John Cena did it before he found success as the insult-spitting rapper, for example. If WWE was in North Carolina, Tarheel Country, he would wear Tarheel Blue, for example.

With Johnny, they can take it one step further. There are some obvious ones -- if WWE does a show at Madison Square Garden, he can be Johnny MSG. In Boston, he can be Johnny Fenway, and he can be Johnny Wrigley in Chicago. When they go to Baltimore, he can be Johnny Camden. Big event coming up in England? Johnny Wembley!

This goes both ways, as well. Much like a pandering good guy might wear the local team's colors or jersey, the bad guy might wear their biggest rival's colors or outfit. Any time a bad guy comes to New York, you're going to see him wearing a Red Sox jersey.

As a heel, you can have Johnny Fenway wrestle at the Barclays Center. Going to Green Bay? Johnny Soldier! Have a show in Chicago? Johnny Laubeau! If he wrestles on NXT, he can be Johnny Full Sail!

The cool thing about going this route is that the possibilities are endless whether he plays a babyface or a heel. You go for a beloved landmark as a good guy, and something despised as a bad guy. It doesn't have to be limited to arenas and stadiums, either.

He can enter the arena as King Johnny James and berate the audience in Cleveland, only to have Cleveland native The Miz come down and beat him up to a huge ovation. The sky is the limit when it comes to giving a guy an endless amount of possible names.
