10 Awesome Real Wrestler Names That Are Better Than Their Ring Names

5. Houston Harris

Maybe it is just me, but the name 'Bobo Brazil' always seemed a bit too silly. 'Bobo' conjures up images of a clown, and 'Brazil' is a country. Sure, it's a big important one, but it's a country nonetheless. You might as well have a wrestler called Bubble Belgium.

Bobo Brazil was actually born Houston Harris, and whilst this certainly isn't exactly FLEX RUMBLECRUNCH when it comes to wrestling names it is a far stronger choice than Bobo Brazil. 'Houston Harris' sounds like a tough guy coming out of the territory days, a strong dude who isn't going to take any of your lip.

Bobo Brazil wasn't even supposed to have that ring name. He was originally going by the name Boo-Boo Brazil, but the name was misprinted on an advertisement and it stuck. Boo-Boo Brazil might actually be the only way Bobo Brazil could be worse.
