10 Best Tough Guy Names In Wrestling

8. Bam Bam Bigelow

Even before you see the intimidating frame, the unexpected athleticism, or the bald head adorned with flame tattoos, you're already sold. Bam Bam Bigelow sounds like a huge guy who pulverizes anything in his path. (Having a last name that starts with "big" also helps quite a bit.)

Yes, yes, he's not the only Bam Bam in wrestling, but come on now. Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy loses points for "Terry". Terry is not a tough-sounding name. (Terry Funk excluded, of course.)

Arguably his greatest tough guy performance came at the first Survivor Series, when he battled The One Man Gang, King Kong Bundy, and Andre the Giant three-on-one, managing to defeat Gang and Bundy before succumbing to Andre's power.

But that match was just icing on the cake. The people already knew Bam Bam was tough. It's all in the name.
