The most ridiculous/generic names of popular wrestlers [Archive]

The names that, when you really think about them, make you say "how the fuck did he get over with that name?" or "why haven't they changed it?".

"Undertaker" is definitely one of them, especially once he evolved from his initial gimmick. I mean, yeah, it makes sense, but it's really generic sounding if it weren't for the man and the gimmick behind it.

The Big Show and Triple H have always sounded pretty odd, especially if someone new to wrestling didn't know about the hunter hearst helmsley thing

I've always thought for the longest time that real names are some of the hardest to get over instead of having a name with a gimmick.

Oh well then by that logic, the kid probably thinks Ric Flair is a senile fucker and Shawn Michaels is a boring character

When you think of names you also have to throw in the factor of how good their personality matched the name. I mean the Ultimate Warrior was a great name for his gimmick. The Dingo Warrior, not so much.

how about blade runner rock(ultimate warrior) and blade runner flash(sting)?

How is that generic? It may be lame now-a-days, but back then wrestling was all about names and gimmicks.

I know this is of topic but I was thinking about creating a couple of threads but i don't know how

1st thread title: favorite gimmicks
better wrestler thread: Scott Hall or Marty Jannetty
3rd Thread: Who is Hotter Molly Holly or Eve Torres

Can anyone tell me how to create a thread?

If you ever figure it out i suggest just the one thread since

2. Jannetty is/was
3. EHHHHH EVE! Molly Holly was like cute at the very best, Eve Torres is hot as fuck (despite her ass being identical to Hacksaw Jim Duggan's)

3. EHHHHH EVE! Molly Holly was like cute at the very best, Eve Torres is hot as fuck (despite her ass being identical to Hacksaw Jim Duggan's)

You mean she's the Hacksaw Jim Duggan of the Divas division.

She's big for a while and can somewhat draw a crowd but at the end of it she's old and fading and will be let go in the future.

I would say Mr. Perfect was a ridiculous name, but hey, he was the best.

random bump?

Rellik is such a stupid name though.

As for most generic, easily 'The Rock'.

You're right. Goldberg wasn't Jewish nor did he have a Jewish gimmick. His name was very generic indeed.

For our south of the boarder amigos, Silver King & L.A. Park are pretty silly too.

Paul T. Giant Wight would just make him sound like a giant racist. I'm suprised Micheal Hayes hasn't made this happen yet.

Orton and Batista call him Hunter every now and then. HBK did too

Yeah he's still been referred to as Hunter once and a while and I think Jack Swagger is a dumb generic name if you ask me especially more now than ever now that he's more serious.
