When it was announced last week that Sheamus and Drew McIntyre would be known as The Banger Bros., there was a lot of buzz on social media because there’s a very popular adult website with a similar name, Bang Bros.
Sheamus and Drew McIntyre appear to be aware of this, as they have made light of the name on social media. The name has inspired some amusing tweets, and the duo appears to be having a good time with it.
Dave Meltzer reported today that there is awareness about the name and what it means to some, and while WWE has not stated whether or not they intend to change it, Meltzer claims that they are aware.
Meltzer noted the following, “There has been some notice that the name Banger Bros for the tag team of Sheamus & Drew McIntyre. Evidently there is a porn company called Bang Bros. If the name changes, that would be the reason, although we haven’t been told the name is changing, just that there is an awareness of that.”
Sheamus took to Twitter to ask fans what mode of transportation they would like to see The Banger Bros use. “Banger Bus” received 63.6 percent of the vote, while “Banger Truck” came in second. Drew McIntyre suggested they take a taxi.
What mode of transport should the Banger Bros drive? ??
