Eric Bischoff Weighs In On WWE Repackaging Brian Pillman Jr. As Lexis King For NXT
Bischoff addressed WWE’s divisive decision to change the second-generation star’s name during the “Strictly Business” podcast.
“I like it, I really like it,” he said before adding, “I think it gives him the best shot possible to break through. I really, really do. I was impressed, very impressed. Amazed to see where it goes, I like it.”
…
Bischoff isn’t the only one impressed by the new persona, as “Busted Open Radio” hosts Mickie James and Tommy Dreamer both felt that the new name was a smart way for the second-generation wrestler to differentiate himself from his father, and also that King’s words had a modicum of truth in regards to what the wrestling business takes from families like Pillman’s.

They gave him a name that sounds like a 90’s porn star.

Which is just slightly better than the bland and boring names they usually give NXT’ers.
He had a sister who passed away in 2009. Her name was Alexis. Maybe Lexis is a tribute to her.
what Joseph has said is true & also not many ppl know this but she was also a pro wrestler like Sr & Jr
still sounds like a porn star
