bad wrestling names
 

Just list wrestlers with bad names. Don't list intended stupid names.

- Bobby Lashley: I know it's his real name, but it's a lame name for a champion.

- Shark Boy: I'm on the fence whetherr this guy is serious or a joke. Sadly, I think he might be serious. How he landed a job with the second largest company in the US/Canada is beyond me.

- Tekno Team 2000: Enough said.

I'm not going to hog all the names. Post others! There are going to be a lot of names I forgot about that are going to be funny to hear again.

I think you fail to grasp the greatness that is Shark Boy.

"Above Average" Mike Sanders.

Terrible nickname.

Totally! Hey guys, I'm not bad, but I'm not good. Let's say my performance is about 65%. They should have called him C+.

DO NOT SPEAK OF TEKNO TEAM 2000 LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN!!!!!

Seriously, every time I think of that name I get fucking infuriated. Whoever came up with that should have immediately been fired, or at least kicked in the head until he died.

I bet it was Russo.

"American Dragon" Bryan Danialson. Seriously, American Dragon? Be Gay on your own time.

Sharky is a joke

I think Samoa Joe is pretty awful

Samoa Stan would be way cooler

Joey Samoey.

There was an indie guy around here who used to go by the name "The Next" Briar Wellington. Terrible name all around.

Samoa Joe
So the guy's name is Joe, and he's from Samoa..... Yea.... Reaaaaal creative.

Bobby Lashley.

Lashley alone I guess is okay, but Bobby is not a wrestling name.

Yeah, just ask this guy...

Damn, that's a bad example... how about him...

http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com...yheenan/03.jpg

hmmm... I think the central theme of this is... let's see... ah yes. Be careful what name you mock in wrestling.

That being said, I'm a Mike Rotunda fan from back in the day, but Irwin R. Shyster (sp?) SUCKED as a name.

Mike Knox. I don't know or care if that's his real name. I hear Mike Knox, I think GENERIC. I see Mike Knox, and my thoughts are proven.

Bobby Heenan's not a wrestler, and Bobby Eaton is also a terrible name.


Bobby is just not intimidating.

Kronik :(

Mike Quackenbush

Tomko.

Would you guys have liked his first name, Franklin, better than Bobby? Ladies and gentleman, ECW champion...Franklin Lashley!

That would have been cool. He could have come to the ring in a white wig and glasses while flying a kite.

lol I was thinking more towards Frankie Goes to Hollywood with the piano tie.

Relax, don't do it
When you want to go to it
Relax don't do it
When you want to come

The Jewish Jacking machine, Jewfro Skippord.

Jew's gonna kill you!

"Hebrew" Hulk Hogan: "Well JEW know something, rabbi?!"

Or he could have done what a lot of other guys have done and change his first or last name (I know most guys change their last name). Can you imagine hearing "Your world heavyweight champion, Shawn Hickenbottom"?

Bobby Lashley is a girly sounding name. He should go Bob or Rob Lashley, Frank Lashley would work as well. The 2 "y" make him sound like a candy ass.

On the reverse side, the best names are probably Sid or Brock Lesnar. The end in hard consonant, and there names sound like they are going to kick some ass.

Voodoo Kin Mafia.

Robbie Brookside

I dunno - I liked the way the initials spelt IRS. Obviously it was intentional but I thought it was pretty cool when I was younger. I also loved his finisher - the Write Off running clothesline was a great move back in the day.

What makes me laugh though is that Schyster sounds a great deal like 'Scheisse' which is German for 'shit' ... :shifty:

I also hated gimmick names. Like that guy who was meant to be from the swamps of the Aussie outback and carried around a knife for killing crocs....

"Ladies and Gentleman.... SKINNER!"

Gunner Scott

Kip James.

Shannon Moore.

"Chick flick" Lesbo mcDykey.

I forgot Team 3D and also Austin Starr.

LSD - Little Spike Dudley

Just a horrible pun.

Flex Cavanah.

Here's some names that always bothered me:

Prince Iaukea
Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Tatanka
The Yeti
Zeus
911
The Amazing Red
Puma
Paul Orndorff
One Man Gang
Rosey
The Z Man, Tom Zenk
Tugboat
Too Cold Scorpio
Barry O (the ULTIMATE jobber) :lol:
Justin Credible

Too Cold Scorpio is awesome.

Actually, Cactus Jack sucks a cock

lol at Terra Ryzing.

Nick Bockwinkle is pretty lame, sounds like he should be a cartoon moose.

Charlie Haas. Seriously, is this guy a wrestler or a cramp in my leg?

Balls Mahoney. No. Just, no.

Norman Smiley. This guy makes me ROFL but come on.

Balls Mahoney is a dam good gimmick name. Coupled with his hometown and theme music its comedy gold

Disco Inferno
Wildcat Chris Harris
Elix Skipper

Prince Iaukea is a throw back to King Curtis Iaukea.

2 Cold Scorpio fucking rocks. :foc:

And yeah, the rest of those names kinda suck.

I like Scorpio, there's just something about his name that's always bugged me. Then again, look at the name I chose...so go figure. ;)

And If someone told me that some guy was looking to kick my ass, I'd be worried until I found out his name was Prince Iaukea. That's all I'm saying. (Although, the guy could kick my ass through my teeth.)


Check this guy out I found on Obsessed with wrestling:

Cardiac Arrest

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Umm... the first part of that statement is fine and good, except that it's not accurate. Heenan DID wrestle in the 60s to 70s, I think, before injuries sent him to managing.

And who are you to doubt [s]El Dandy[/s] "Beautiful" Bobby? He wasn't meant to be "intimidating." he was a guy who got over with his mat wrestling and his aerial moves.

And in turn, I point out that it's Powdered Toast Man, not Powered. GOOD DAY SIR

That doesn't make Bobby a good wrestler's name. It doesn't scream "MAT WRESTLER" any harder than it does "BAD ASS." I'm not saying the guy sucked, he just seriously lacks a manly name.

Marcus Cor Von
Seriously. What was wrong with Monty Brown?! Oddly enough, 'Alpha-Male' was kept.

Kenny Dystra
Just awful.

Shelton Benjamin
Yea, it's his real name, but he needs to change Shelton to a name with more personality.

Drago

Also Destor

You present a good point, sometimes favorite wrestlers can even have bad names that we overlook because of how much we like them.

Rob Van Dam? If I didn't like him so much I'd say, what a Jean Claude rip off.

lol not even gonna say it this time.

Sexton Hardcastle is the best wrestling name ever BTW

The Write-Off wasn't a running clothesline, it was a fireman's carry-backdrop thing.

And a schyster is a con man, a ripoff artist.

WTF is wrong with the One Man Gang? He was a street guy that was so big he was a gang unto himself. That's a great name.
Also he's the husband of the sister of the husband of the sister of the mom of a friend of mine, so screw you too. :foc: :shifty:

A lot of these things pointed out are intentional.

What, bad names? Yeah, Balls Mahoney, definitely. Some of them aren't though. That's the sad thing.

Oh and why hasn't anyone mentioned Kerwin White?

Who else can't believe that a guy who was once "Stunning" Steve Austin ever got over as a badass?

Dancin' Stevie Richards.

Koko B. Ware

Jumping Jim Bronzel

Duke "the Dumpster" Droese

Chris Ben-oi-tah.

Kevin Nash
John Bradshaw Layfield
Adolph Hitler
anyone else BDC likes

Nobody has noticed how shitty "Triple H" is as a wrestling name?

I've been thinking about that sporadically. I mean, if you know what it stands for, it's fine. But I am willing to bet there are quite a lot of new fans who don't know what it stands for. At best, they'd know at least one "H" stands for Hunter.

I remember when he beat Triple H on Raw after Wrestlemania he got on the mic and said "You may call me Mr. Benjamin". That would have been cool had that lasted more than 2 minutes.

Ken Kennedy
Rad Radford
Amish Roadkill
The Blue Meanie
Skip & Zip The Body Donnas, there are so many

One Man Gang Bang would be a great porn name. :naughty:

Barry Horowitz

Gunner Scott is a good one brought up. Brent Albright was much better, they should have just kept it.

LMAO off at Jeritron's post regarding Nick Bockwinkle and Charlie Haas. :lol:

Shelton Benjamin kicks ass, in my opinion.

Fun Fact: The One Man Gang is married to a four-foot-tall bodybuilder who has him totally whipped. :lol:

It worked a lot better when he was in OVW and looked like the lost third member of Harlem Heat.
