10 Worst Wrestling Names Ever

10. Michael McGillicutty

When looking at what to do with the son of WWE Hall Of Fame inductee, Curt 'Mr. Perfect' Hennig, it'd probably make sense to tie the guy in with his infamous daddy. Instead, at least initially, WWE chose to go the opposite route, booking young Joe Hennig to state he was going to stand on his own merits, become a star in his own right and take the wrestling world by storm.

Sadly, they also lumbered him with a dreadful name that instantly made it difficult for fans to take him seriously. 'Michael McGillicutty' doesn't even sound threatening, nevermind like a top star - it's a name that repels both a cool vibe and a sense of attachment from fans.

Making his main roster debut as part of the first season of the old NXT program, McGillicutty not only had a name that's far too busy grammatically (McGrammatically?), but also made him look like a total dork for choosing against the famous Hennig name. He'd later be known as 'Curtis Axel', paying tribute to his father, but the ghost of McGillicutty has haunted him.
