5 ways Shorty G can make the name a success

#4 Don't become a comedy act

So I can't be the only person who hears the name "Shorty G" and thinks is it going to be a rapper gimmick.

That was my biggest fear for Gable when I first heard about the possibility of the name change. I thought they were going to turn him into a rapper, and I mean a very bad one.

Remember when he was walking around backstage with a clipboard taking notes? I thought he was jotting down rap lyrics.

Thankfully the company seems to be avoiding the comedy act route, but they need to tread lightly.

With a name like Shorty G, it is going to be very easy for people not to take Chad seriously, which is a shame because he is one of the best technical wrestlers in the company.

So being funny when the moment calls for it is fine, but once that moment passes it should be strictly business for him.

Comedy acts can get over with the crowd, but the ringwork is the most important thing for career longevity.

Remember Brotus Clay? The Funkasaurus flamed out big time when it became all about his dancing and not his in-ring ability.

At least Naomi was able to break free of that Funkadactyl life and win a Women's Championship.
