Just like it says on the tin. What're your favorite wrestling handles irrespective of the workers using them?
I'll start off with...Jack Swagger. It just sound like the perfect name for a Mr. Perfect-esque heel.

Indy wrestler "Phil Latio"
Always wanted someone to to claim to be the son of Colonel DeBeers and wrestle under the name "Drinken DeBeers"

"The Ultimate Warrior."
That name put him over as much as anything else, it's so epic.

I love Shawn Michaels' real last name, Hickenbottom
It just such a silly last name yet it totally fits him. What makes it even better is that his dad's name is Dick Hickenbottom

My favorites:
The Undertaker Scott Hall and Kevin Nash (these guys sound like badasses already) Kane Perry Saturn Raven Chris Jericho Ultimo Dragon Mortis Wrath
There are too many for me to keep count of, but in short: late '90s WCW spawned some awesome names.

I like names that sound like regular names, but also describe the character.
Best example I can think of: Paul Bearer. I know there's another good one out there that's escaping my memory at the moment... help me out... (it's not Terra Ryzing - that one sucks)

I love awesome monosyllabic names.
Taz, Sting, Kane, etc.

CM Punk, as far as uniqueness goes. Claudio Castagnoli, for being fun to say. Chris Hero, for simplicity.

Ric Flair....just describes his personality so well and is real close to his real name. Colt Cabana....because Colt is like my favorite first name. It just sounds cool no matter what follows it. I think I'll name my kid that if I ever have one, and have a boy. Justin Credible....great name for a not so great career. My friend created a fantasy booking wrestler named "Shoulder Smash McClintock", which I just thought was awesome for some reason.

Dances with Dudley has to be the greatest name of all time.
Gorilla Monsoon is a close second.
Others I like:
Ox Baker.
Abdullah the Butcher.
Giant Baba.
Roddy Piper.
The Mongolian Stomper.
Fabulas Moolah.
Too Cold Scorpio.
