Vince McMahon Originally Had An Even Worse New Name In Mind For The War Raiders The Viking Experience

NXT fans were left reeling when The War Raiders were called up to RAW and renamed "The Viking Experience" but a new report reveals that Vince McMahon at one point had something even worse in mind...

Believe it or not, Vince McMahon had a very different idea in mind for the team formerly known as The War Raiders when they debuted on RAW this week. While they're now known as The Viking Experience, that was reportedly the Chairman's second choice.

Originally, he was going to rename the formidable duo "The Bezerkers." Does that sound familiar?

Well, it should because John Nord actually made his WWF debut in 1991 as "The Viking" before he was renamed "The Bezerker" and it seems like Vince is simply recycling ideas at this point!

Most fans are concerned that The Viking Experience will quickly become a comedy act or fall flat like The Ascension. For now, I guess we'll have to wait and see but they don't have a great name.
