Dumbest name in "major label" wrestling today.
 

I don't give a shit how gay the guys wrestling in your neighbor's back yard are, or in some fed that only 6 people watch. So no Mickey Mouse leagues. Hell, I barely count TNA.

I've gotta say Samoa Joe. Samoa...Joe? That makes "Brother Runt" look creative.

I'd say Shark Boy, but he's not supposed to be taken seriously. You know, like Cruiserweights and Cena's opponents.

I still think that "Too Cold Scorpio" and "CM Punk" are the stupidest wrestler names I've ever heard.

CM Punk Is gay

The Great Khali.
Hornswoggle(sp?).

Just to name a couple.

Hardcore Holly.

Hornswoggle wouldn't be such a bad name if it hadn't replaced the perfect "Little Bastard."

Micheal Cole

I really like Samoa Joe, 2 Cold Scoprio, and CM Punk's names. I perfer Dalip Singh to The Great Khali but the worst wrestling name ever has to be Brutus The Barber Beefcake, What the fuck is a hair stylist wrestling for?

I've hated that name the day he changed it. What a stupid name

Also the Ultimate Warrior is a really stupid name too

You ask this when WWE has had a clown, a tax accountant, a hockey player, a cologne-shilling fashion model, a truck driver, a garbage man, a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman, a repo man, and a slew of cowboys working for them? At least the "barber" business makes sense; you beat a guy, then you humiliate him by making him look like an ass. Makes more sense than beating a guy and then auditing him or taking out his garbage, wouldn't you say?

:lol: Point earned hahaha

Samoa Joe

Fiji Fred could not be reached for comment

Any wrestler who uses a name that does'nt sound realalistic. Rhyno, Sting, The Undertaker, X-pac, and as much as I like him, Edge. I realize wrestling is on some levels not supposed to be realalistic, but I think it would help the legitimacy of it as a sport if more wrestlers went by more real sounding names.

"The Great" Kahli. He's not great at all. :shifty:

Originally I didn't like the name "Samoe Joe," either, but since then it has grown on me, especially when you actually think about it.

The name could be a tribute to Samoan Joe, who was a babyface wrestler in New Zealand and Australia. Plus the name was used for a restaurant in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," wasn't it? It is much better than a lot of names out there today.

The Great Khali is pretty bad.

He could have a talk show called 'Samoa Joe's' and give everyone fruity cocktails, then Black Machismo would come in and set a man on fire.

(Note, if you haven't seen lock, stock, that's probably lost on you)

Are you sure WWE ever had a truck driver? Doesn't seem like it. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of WCW. That was Big Fred(or something like that. Big something. the same guy as Bastion Booger), and Blacktop Bully(who was, of course, also said repo man).

Diesel

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. :roll:

What the hell's so "phenomenal" about him?:wtf:

I was about to call bullshit until I looked at OWW, Alienoid. I can't believe there was actually a Samoan Joe. I don't think it's a tribute though.

As for my pick of worst name, there's a few, but I'll have to go with A-Train.

Uh, New Jack.

You are correct, sir. :y:

Ask Rico. ;)

Woah. Woah. Woah. Was that the gimmick!? All this time I had no idea the Diesel gimmick was that of a truck driver. This changes everything...

Diesel wasn't a gimmick. It was a nickname given to him after Chilli Night at Titan Towers.

Chilli Night? Elaborate my friend... or have I completely missed a joke...

...

I live in Australia. What do you expect. :-\

Edge.

Seriously, what the fuck?

Umaga is a terrible ring name, and I also hate how “Black Machismo” sounds. Both are TERRIBLE ring names.

At least Umaga fits the gimmick. If a savage was going around with the name "Jamal" it wouldn't make much sense.

There's a racist joke there somewhere...

What the fuck is an X-Pac? Honorable mention to Man Mountain Rock.

Seriously. Besides, the guy reminded me of Meat Loaf.

Oh, K-Kwik was a pretty gay-ass name.

Remember Kwee Wee?

I do now, you rat bastard son of a bitch. That's five more years of therapy for me to forget again. :foc:

Is X-Pac currently in a major promotion?

MVP
Edge
Samoa Joe
CM Punk
Sandman
Blue Meanie
The Great Kalhi
Umaga
Bobby Lashley (seriously, that's not a tough guy name)
Boogyman
The Goon
The Brooklin Brawler

Sting

Chyna
Mankind
Cryme Tyme

Beaver Cleavage
HeadShrinkers
D'lo
Droz
Animal

Wow, this list could go on and on.

Damaja

Hearing Mike Tenay pronounce that makes me want to punt a small animal.

"Worlds Strongest Man" Mark Henry:shifty:

lol

I'm impressed. there are even a few in there that actually are current wrestlers, as "today" implied in the title.

I disagree, I think its an awesome name.

You can't diss Ultimate Warrior.

I mean, the guy's using his real name, so...

His name isn't Ultimate Warrior though is it? Isnt' it Warrior Warrior or something retarded like that?

Say what you will about the current product, but they had way dumber names back in the 'good old days'.

If you think about "Hulk Hogan," it is a pretty fucking stupid name.

I'd like to say that I agree with KK...Samoa Joe is a pitiful name. About as creative as Edge calling himself "White Adam" or the Rock going as "Black Dwayne."

Fuck you, YOU think about Hulk Hogan.

Half Black Half Samoan Dwayne

:lol:

I stand corrected.

Honky Terry

Says the man who made me think about Kwee Wee. :mad:

Has anyone mentioned "The Masterpiece?" Because if not, I'd like to say "The Masterpiece." Because if noone has said "The Masterpiece", someone needs to say "The Masterpiece."

"The Champ" John Cena :shifty:

Elix Skipper

Best name ever, Mr Perfect.

Sonjay Dutt

Probably a reference to the movie New Jack City.

I think "The Masterpiece" is a good name for somebody whose alleged surname is Masters with an impressive physique, actually.

Mitch is the whitest person on the face of the Earth, what do you expect?

All the Misfits in Action guys had retarded names.

As for today, the name Elijah Burke is kinda lame but I guess it fits him.

Never cared for the guy but, how about Marcuis Cor Von?

I'm pretty sure 'Umaga' means 'The End' in Samoan. I may be wrong, but if not then it suits him fine.

As for the whole Diesel thing, they never actually said he drove a truck. But that he had the power of a diesel truck. Its in the commentary of one of my classic line DVDs.

The only problem is that to most of the audience it means "gibberish from a drooling savage."

When he first showed up, in WWF magazine they said that he had been a truck driver, there was a story about him surviving his truck jackknifing and walking away without a scratch.

Well just goes to show WWE's lack of continuity has always been there.
And on top of that their magazines have always been known to just make up their own kayfabe stories, and then TV completely contradicts them.

True enough. I think at times they've thought up stories that they never really used on TV, but that the magazine writers have gotten hold of and published.

I'm pretty sure that they used that on TV at some point, because I remember it and I don't read WWF magazines.

Then in that case I blame the writers continuity. That way I have an excuse....and lets face it, not many people will argue with that.

Well, the difference I think is, that while IRS was still supposedly auditing people, and Repo Man was presumably still absconding with unpaid-for property, I don't think were were supposed to think that Diesel left the arena, jumped into his rig, and headed for the next show.

It's his real name, isn't it?

Doesn't mean it isn't lame. HBK's real name is Michael Hickenbottom, isn't it?

From Dictionary.com:
Great - Unusually or comparatively large in size or dimensions. :p

I think Elijah Burke is a fine name. What's so silly about it?

To me it just SCREAMS "Indy Wrestler."

Remember Prince Iaukea?

Nope.

Damn it. Not the same impact as Kwee Wee.

AJ Styles sounds too gimmicky.

Marcus Corvon.
(especially since we all know his name is really Monty Brown...)

Names in wrestling always sound fucking dumb to me.

Rick Rude always sounded pretty dumb to me. I couldn't believe it when I found out that was actually his real name.

As for nowadays.... Cor Von is a ridiculous name. At least he dropped the "Marquis" for Marcus.

Would Hornswoggle count??

Dr. Death Steve Williams.

What was he, Jack Kavorkian's student or something?

It was his real-life nickname from his football days.

Wasn't it a comic book character or something as well?

Triple H is pretty stupid. It's just a nick name he got from his "full" name.

The Boogey Man

I find it funny that "Triple H" has outlived any significance that "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" ever had. Fuck, I'm pretty sure Michaels only started calling him that in DX to make his name sound "cool" somehow, right? I mean, you had "Double A" Arn Anderson, and "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, so it makes sense. But still, here we are fucking ten years later, and he's still "Triple H," and I don't think "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" has been mentioned on TV since Goldberg said it back in 2003.

I think Damaja is worse than Samoa Joe.

What's really sad is that I'm willing to bet that most newer fans don't even know what it stands for. Maybe they know the "Hunter", but that's it.

It's not just the coolest!
It's not just the best!
It's Justin Credible!

My head hurts now.

seriously, while I like him as a wrestler,
Edge sucks as a ring name, "Edge of what"
and votes for CM Punk too,

My all time suckiest ring name......the heart break kid

maybe not as a name, but as a gimmick for a 42 year old, balding, bow legged, bad backed, wrestler that has found GAWD:shifty:
and lose that fucking music!!!

runs for cover from all kliq related people.


and who needs rep!!!!!

The Great Khali is pretty bad. Samoa Joe is hilarious.
