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

2. Pork Chop Cash

The 1960s wasn't ready for the greatness of a name like Pork Chop Cash.

Pro wrestling now had someone rattling around who sounded like money a mother might give her child when they're off down to the butchers on an errand. 'Don't forget to keep that pork chop cash safe now'. If this happened in the 80s and they didn't, then they might not get to check out those WWF VHS tapes en route.

That's if Cash got to star in any of those, which is unlikely. In total, he had just 5 matches in the federation between 1988-1989, and only 2 of them were part of TV tapings for Superstars and Wrestling Challenge vs. Tito Santana and The Ultimate Warrior respectively; staring at the lights for Warrior on the 30 October '88 episode of Challenge was something Pork Chop could point to when he hung up his boots, at least.

Earlier, he'd actually worked for Vince McMahon Sr in the old WWWF between 1968-1970. Cash got to wrestle 30 times for that operation, but he'd miss out on Jr's boom during the whole Hulkamania and WrestleMania explosion of the 80s. What a ring name he had, right enough. That's worth repeating.

Rumours that Pork Chop was going to be called 'Cold Hard' instead are exactly that - rumours. In other words, they were made up for this list. You've got to love it when wrestlers debut with names like this though. It's such a random assortment of words. Coming soon: Meat Hook Maloney.
