20 Dumbest Wrestler Names EVER (...That We Absolutely LOVE)

20. The Battman

Taz knows all about adding extra letters. Ask Taz. When he debuted in the WWF, they tacked on another 'z' to turn him into Tazz. That was surely a nod to Tony Marino's take on the popular DC character known as Batman. OK, no it wasn't, but info on our Tony is thin on the ground so go easy on that.

Seriously, Marino worked in the WWWF and various NWA territories as wrestling’s very own ‘Caped Crusader’. There isn't a chance anybody could do this sort of thing now. If someone showed up as 'Ironing Man' and carried an iron whilst pretending to be Tony Stark, Marvel would be all over it. Things were clearly different back in the 1960s and 70s.

DC's lawyers looked at that extra 't' in Battman and thought: 'Drat! We've been foiled again by superior intellect!'. It didn't even bother anyone that Tony here was drifting around wearing an outfit almost identical to the one from the comics. Bob Kane did all of the creative heavy lifting for this one, let's be honest.

Modern day star Lady Frost is Marino's granddaughter, for the record. So, how long before she debuts Battwoman on the independent scene after leaving AEW behind? Someone ask her that in an interview just to see what the reaction is, please.

You've got to love the sheer cheek of this one. Tony should've worked in other offshoots like Ssuperman and Sppider-Man just to see what would happen. He was obviously untouchable, and laughed his way to the bank on someone else's creativity.
