Not necessarily a mispronunciation, but did you know that Undisputed ERA has “ERA” in all caps? Well, that’s title belongs to Ed Walsh. ... I’m the only person that’s going to get that joke, aren’t I?

I think he only said it once but Santino’s “John Cheyna” made me laugh. Santino also had one for Rey which was something like "Rey Mastrio" but I could be and more likely wrong on that.

Before Survivor Series last year, Kurt Angle referred to then WWE Champion Jinder Mahal as "Jinder May-Hal" which got a good laugh from me. WWE Champion matters so little that Kurt Angle doesn't know his name. He also didn't know the name of the first Universal champion Finn Baylor.

Are there any good examples of this recently, from announcers, commentators etc? Apart from Jeff Harvey lol. My only good examples are from way back, when Vince called Owen Hart "The Rocket King" and of course, the 'multi million dollar man' Reminds me of, I want to say SvR 2006 on the PlayStation 2, if you used Ted DiBiase in a SmackDown-based arena, Tony Chimel would announce him as “The Billion-Dollar Man.” Always thought that was weird. a million dollars isn't as impressive as it used to be, I guess *shrug* Chris Jericho made this into an artform. "Chris Ben-Oyt", "Kirk Angel", "Hoot-n-toot Guerrerra" etc.

Okay, regarding Marc Mero, I can take it either way with pronunciations like "Meer-oh" or "Meh-ro." But that has nothing on Todd Pettengill's pronunication at WM12 as "Marc MAR-ROH."
