I spelled 'Backlund' wrong in another thread and recieved 15 lashings for it.
But it got me thinking. What other wrestlers usually have the names mispelledin forums or worse yet in books.
Here's some I can recall.
Brett Hart
Curt Henning
Larry Zybisco, Zibysko, Zybysko

Zutroy
Don Corleone
That's preposterous. Zutroy here is as American as apple pie.

Rick Flair
That annoys the hell out of me, especially when people bring signs with that spelling to Wrestlemania 24, don't pretend to be a fan when you don't even know how to spell his name.

This doesn't happen much now, but back in the day when WWF had message boards on their AOL site, people used to misspell Maivia as "Miavia."

I usually see Guerrero spelled as Gurrero or Gurerro.

Lex Lugar. He's been known for 20 some years...how can we still get his last name wrong?
Same with Alvarez continuing to spell Eddie Guererro's name "Eddy." But Alvarez is a wanker anyway, so I should expect as much.

Kurt Angle had a couple odd misspellings on signs back in the day. Kirk Angle was a big one.

In the early days, Bret Hart was spelled "Brett Hart" and I believe Lex's name was spelled with an "A" for a short time.

Well, Batista's real name is David Bautista & I think he was billed as Deacon Bautista before WWE got the "U" out. The correct spelling of Mysterio is actually Misterio (I still type it that way sometimes, myself). Maybe people are referring to Lyndon B. Johnson rather than John Bradshaw Layfield  |

Two come to mind....Although already mentioned, Curt "Henning" and Paul "Wright."

Brok Lesner is one I've seen here a few times that bugs me, but I believe Curt "Henning" is the most prevalent one.
