The most ridiculous/generic names of popular wrestlers
 
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

Emperor Smeat 03-20-2010 12:24 AM

Ultimate Warrior

CM Punk is a pretty ridiculous name.

Jakob Synn 03-20-2010 02:00 AM

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.

Favre4Ever 03-20-2010 02:19 AM

haha whoops.

not sure in that case. I guess The Hurricane comes to mind.

POPULAR WRESTLERS??

Mark Henry has been around almost 15 years and he's still never got a good pop or had any real heel heat

The Pope 03-20-2010 10:24 AM

Beth Phoenix Fan 03-20-2010 10:27 AM

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

Battle of the 1 squares! Woooo!

Jakob Synn 03-20-2010 11:53 AM

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.

Beth Phoenix Fan 03-20-2010 12:01 PM

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.

Beth Phoenix Fan 03-20-2010 12:07 PM

Stan "the lariat" Hansen....Would that be generic?

Beth Phoenix Fan 03-20-2010 12:17 PM

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?

No. Just because it's so obvious that it's funny to watch you squirm to figrue it out.

What's ironic is that I don't even consider that generic.

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)

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.

Stickman 03-20-2010 01:56 PM

I loved the Repo Man.

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

thedamndest 03-20-2010 03:18 PM

Big Show is bad but "The Giant" is even worse.

BEST NAME EVER

OWEN ULLRICH 04-12-2010 11:07 PM

Samoa Joe
La Parka
El Dandy
Rellik (which is KILLER spelled backwards) Vince Russo at his best.

...(i love this wrestler but the name had to go) Macho King Randy Savage.

NoRoolz 04-13-2010 01:14 PM

random bump?

Rellik is such a stupid name though.

As for most generic, easily 'The Rock'.

Are you saying El Dandy is generic? This will not end well for you Owen.

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