I feel like WWE has a list of really good ring names, and all the utterly poop names we see are explained by the fact that they are reluctant to waste names they like on talent they have no plan to do anything with, so it's Nash Carter. Say what you want about Hugh G. Rection, but that name has balls , and clearly someone thought Bill DeMott could handle it. The Shockmaster - wtf is a shockmaster? I saw the Shockmaster and I still don't know wtf a shockmaster is.

I hate when they shorten names like Riddle.

Neither Neville or PAC are particularly good ringnames.

Did anyone mention Slate Randall yet cause if not Slate Randall. When LA Knight first got signed I was thinking oh god please don't make him Slate Randall again.
Also did Lex Lovitt ever have a pornstar gimmick cause if not why the hell was that his name lol

Rockstar Spud is it, I can’t believe people were like “I can’t believe they changed his name!”
Like. f***ing of course they did. And they were right to do it

Any non-acronym name that’s stylised in all uppercase — WALTER, PAC, etc. I understand the Romaji origin for using uppercase in Japan but for Western audiences with their names appearing alongside others stylised in English, it irritates the hell out of me.

Most random collection of letters if the name isn't established, Paul Wight faced RSP, CPA, and VSK which sounds ridiculous. AQA is maybe the worst as it's the name of an UK exam board. Although it's fine for the likes of hhh, rvd and MJF where the full name is well established and used. One of my partners hates any wrestler with a three letter name on principle

Especially as her real name is Barbie Blank, which is a great wrestling name. I'm going with 'Trip Bradshaw' as my pick. Nothing says 'bright future' than a guy named for an inside joke about a commentator because he tripped over that one time.

Dude's still out there calling himself Grim Reefer. Still wrestling. Still "Grim Reefer." It's not just a bad joke, it's also such an embarrassingly try-hard attempt to be edgy and intimidating.
Speaking of bad jokes: EZ Money. I don't even remember what this guy looked like (when I try to remember, I just picture Kid Kash, which helps me hate him even more) but I still remember hating his stupid name.
I was also always nonplussed by "Kurosawa." Why on earth did he only have one name, and it was the name of a very famous person that had nothing to do with him?

Mine would be Session Moth Martina...more so because I don't know what a "session moth" is. It's Dublin slang (I happen to be from Dublin). A mot/moth is old Dublin for a girl ("Me mot" being "my girlfriend"). And session means drinking and doing drugs, so party girl basically. Not the best name for people outside of Ireland to understand! Also works in that she's like a moth to the sesh, or in other words drawn to drink which suits her gimmick perfectly Tbh I think the name only suits her as it fits the gimmick perfectly, she's a crazy drunk goof, of course she'd have a ring name like that

Incidentally, I hadn't realised till last night she was on Dark Elevation this week, I marked! Remember seeing her years and years ago at shows here so was cool, and to finally have some Irish representation in AEW! She did well, would love for her to get a contract. Also funny that Paul and Mark were calling her "Session".

I remember him as having ridiculous gear, like PVC garter and suspenders kinda thing. ... ok yeah found it...

Say what you want about Hugh G. Rection, but that name has balls , and clearly someone thought Bill DeMott could handle it. The Shockmaster - wtf is a shockmaster? I saw the Shockmaster and I still don't know wtf a shockmaster is. Am I wrong in thinking that was the only time Bill Demott was over, albeit briefly? As a kid I liked that time period in WCW but then again I was a kid and didn't get the Russo attempt at sexual humor. Shockmaster could have legs, no pun intended, with a wrestler who wasn't on the jobbing end of WWF for almost a year. It was almost like Roma three months earlier. I guess Flair For the Gold was cursed. Fred Ottman is a great man but and talented a character that was supposed to be main event should have been played by a guy like Vader if they wanted a big guy. Shockmaster was a 1990s version of Demolition Moondog Rex. Once fans knew it was Fred Ottman it wouldn't go anywhere. The trip and fall didn't have any effect on me. Again I was a kid and just thought that was part of the entrance. I had no idea Jesse was making fun of him.
