Gunner, Crimson, Toxine... Why do they have such crappy names? It just reminds me of American Gladiators or WWE's Divas division.
Edge was a cool name. Raven was a cool name. Sabu was a cool name. Goldberg was a cool (and real) name. Not many other wrestlers have attempted to pull off names like that though. And there's a reason...they're freaking corny.
Am I the only one that gets annoyed by this?

I actually think Crimson is a fine name but, yeah, the rest TNA come up with are kinda weak.

The scary thing is, they've gotten BETTER in the name department. Before that it was Judas Mesias, Black Reign and the ever popular Cheex.
Don't forget Bully Ray though. I know most people think it was a good overhaul, but I hope they don't include the name when saying that.

I know most people think it was a good overhaul, but I hope they don't include the name when saying that. Judas Mesias wasn't bad, considering he was a dark Mexican character. Black Reign was awful and I don't even remember Cheex. And yes, Bully Ray is one of the worst names in all of wrestling, but he makes up for it by being awesome. But how is Crimson a good name? It doesn't sound like a real name at all, it doesn't mean something cool or instill fear...it's a color. It seriously sounds like the name I would have used for a CAW on WWF Attitude when I was a kid. And it doesn't help that he basically looks like a CAW I would've made either.

It's the polar opposite of the WWE name generator. In WWE, you either get a basic name like Alex Riley or a WTF one like Dr Cable Jones. In TNA, you get a CAW name like Crimson and Murphy. Something that a low level Batman villain would be called.

Most of the cheesier names in TNA just make me think of WCW to be honest. Crimson made a degree of sense seeing as how he's (kayfabe) Amazing Red's brother, but I've never been a huge fan of single names with no surname at the best of times tbh.

So many people in Efedding have ridiculous one-word names. Now it's starting to be a problem in Impact Wrestling.

I wish Crimson would get a tag-partner named Clover.
Both shitty names....but at least the reference would be amusing.

Or Winter, Sarita, Rosita. no last names Not as bad as the divas division where you could have an extremely common name without a last name (Kaitlyn, Tiffany, Jamie) or even just two letters (AJ). I always thought Winter was a pretty cool name. Rosita and Sarita do sound strange though. You'd think instead they'd have non rhyming first names and the same last name (as they are cousins).

They should of just called Murphy by his real name... Michael Cole. I would of gone with his wildside NWA wrestling name: Mikael Judas

I think Christina von Eerie is a great name and I dunno whose choice it was not to use it, but if it were the case of TNA trying to trademark a name, why not "Kristina von Earie" or something?

The reason they rhyme is in spanish the "ita" at the end its just a diminutive used as a term of endearment, very common for girls names, you could have for instance a Juana Juanita, Laura Laurita, Sandra Sandrita, Ana Anita etc... I remember in spanish cometary they would acknowledge Sara's name as Sara Stock like shes booked in Mexico some times, but that was before she was supposed to be full fledge Mexican, not Canadian.

Gunner is the worst of the lot. he has a good look and isn't a half-bad worker, but that name is terrible. it's jobber-tastic.
need I remind everyone when Christoper Daniels was briefly referred to simply as DANIELS?
