I'm not sure if this was intended since the aesthetic isn't remotely similar, but Gigi Dolan's name has always made me think of GG Allin. (Funnily enough, there was more of a connection to when she was doing her shock/grossout schtick on the indies, but she was Priscilla Kelley then) It's almost certainly intentional, given Darby Allin, her ex husband she's still close friends with, got his kayfabe last name from GG Allin and his first name from Darby Crash.

Although I’ve never read it confirmed anywhere, I’ve always considered the name Dolph Ziggler to be a play on Dirk Diggler. The dude who's original gimmick was "hey look at my cock" being named after a porn star? I don't believe it.

I remember him being a Caddy and then a member of the Spirit Squad but all I remember about his early period as Dolph Ziggler was him introducing himself to people.

Mad Max spawned quite a bit: Lord Humongous Madd Maxx and Super Maxx Master Blasters (possibly the AWA Blaster as well) and of course, The Road Warriors
And the Thunderdome

I heard King Kong Bundy actually stole his name from Peg Bundy.

Plus the rumored implication that Dolph was supposed to hang just as much dong as Dirk. (Not sure how "introducing yourself to everyone" is supposed to convey "hung like a moose" but that's probably literally the only reason I'm not in WWE creative.)

How could we forget Brimstone?! Objection, nobody on that cover looks like Mustafa Ali. Or even Slapjack.
