10 Worst Ring Names In Wrestling History

10. Scotty Goldman

Cobana's run in WWE was as uneventful as it was brief. Like Kassius Ohno and Braden Walker before him, his name change was the first of many ignominies he was subjected to.

'Scotty' isn't too bad. Cobana is a breezy guy, and Scotty is appropriately carefree, but Goldman is such an eye-roller of a second name. It's as if his entire personality was distilled into two components. The lack of forethought isn't surprising given that he was reportedly designated with the moniker just an hour before his debut match.

They might as well have called him 'Chipper Jew'.

Creative evidently had nothing for Cobana, who enterprisingly used his frustrating experience to create a hilarious series of web shorts, 'Creative Has Nothing For You', which could be described as cleverly absurd looks at the witless WWE creative process - if they weren't so scarily accurate.

Thankfully, WWE have relented on their mandatory name change policy, but it's sobering to think of just how many talents who could have gone onto better things had they not been hamstrung by WWE's autocratic and counterproductive philosophy.
