10 Dumbest Names For Modern WWE Wrestlers
1. Eli Cottonwood
So you've got a seven-foot goliath who looks like a long-haired, gothier Walt Goggins. Knowing that seven-foot monsters are at a premium, and you want to eventually find giant replacements for the aging Undertaker, Kane, and Big Show, you bring in a man like Kipp Christianson, an ex-basketball player with height that can't be taught (thanks, Enzo).
Then you give him a stupid name like Eli Cottonwood, which is sure to strike fear into the hearts of mortal men the world over. Imagine how different The Undertaker's career would have been had he debuted at Survivor Series 1990 in the same hat and trenchcoat, but his name was Rufus Peachtree.
Rufus Peachtree isn't amassing a WrestleMania win streak, and Eli Cottonwood isn't making it past NXT at its corniest.
