WWE.comWrestling actually has a fair bit in common with pornography. In fact, there are more than a few things that both brands of entertainment have in common. Im talking about things like the bad acting, implausible scenarios, fake boobs, baby oil, grunting and groaning during complex manoeuvres, fake boobs, bad dye jobs, a plethora of nonsensical tattoos (placed in very odd locations), fake boobs, dudes on steroids, fake boobs and, of course, the presence of Hulk Hogan (ooh, I went there!) Because of this, it should come as no surprise whatsoever to learn that A LOT of wrestlers throughout history have specifically chosen ring names for themselves that will help them cross over into the porn industry (probably). Why shouldnt they? The dudes are all ripped, tattooed and ready to rumble (and many have that unique aura of barely-restrained aggression and date rape sexuality that the women in porno films seem to find so darned irresistible). And the women? Well, they all seem very adept at putting on the open-mouthed shocked facial expressions so popular with sex dolls, plus, they already have more than enough of the requisite tattoos, bleached hair and fake lashes to get them started in adult (as opposed to sports) entertainment. ...They also have the fake boobs (which we believe we already mentioned once or twice). Here, then, is a fun and funky run down (thats a typo it should have said rub down) of 10 wrestlers that could easily have transitioned into porn films, without even having to change their names...
10. Angelina Love
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Angelina_Love.jpgYknow those whats your superhero/steampunk/vampire/whatever is trending this week name? generators that show up on your Facebook newsfeed all the time? Well, if they ever do one about porn stars, we are fairly certain that Angelina Love will be a possible combination. In fact, the ring name of the real-life Lauren Williams has all the hallmarks of a salacious pornstar sobriquet. Think about it: First name of a famous Hollywood star? Check. Obviously pseudonymous surname (that sounds vaguely glamorous but also hints at sexual promiscuity)? Check. Offers a naughty mental snapshot immediately upon hearing it? Double check. The name Angelina Love conjures images of a young actress, lured to the big, bad city with promises of fame and glamour, but who ends up turning to porn in order to make ends meet (pun intended). She changes her surname so that mummy and daddy never have to find out what she does for a living, but her choice of name also hints at the one thing that she was looking for in the first place. Sob! The fact that she now teams up with a woman called Velvet Sky simply seals the deal, as Im sure youll agree. The multi-time TNA Knockouts Champion also wrestles as Angel Williams outside of TNA bookings, which is a far nicer name, in our opinion...
