You'll struggle to find a name loaded with more modern wrestling history than Windham Rotunda. Heck, the man comes from one of the most loaded wrestling families in the history of the game.

Windham's father is none other than Mike Rotunda, whom older readers will know better as Irwin R. Schyster or Michael Wallstreet. His granpappy is none other than Blackjack Mulligan, one half of one of the baddest tag teams of all-time, The Blackjacks. His two uncles just happen to be Barry and Kendall Windham, and whilst Kendall may not have reached the greatest of heights, Big Barry still sits as one of the most underrated professional wrestlers ever.

As such, Windham Rotunda is as good as you're going to get by combining two legendary wrestling surnames into one real name. Rhodes DiBiase? Nah. Hart Snuka? Certainly not. Guerrero Von Erich? Get out.

Windham Rotunda, however, works perfectly.

Bray Wyatt isn't such a bad name either, I suppose.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
