10 Dumbest Names For Modern WWE Wrestlers

This one didn't come to pass, and we have William Regal to thank for that. Of all of Regal's many wonderful contributions to the wrestling industry, convincing Bryan Danielson to use the inversion of his given name as his professional identity may have been his greatest gesture. One of the alternatives was the charming choice listed here.
When Daniel Bryan was coming up with potential names for his WWE debut, the list he meted out included Buddy Peacock, combining Bryan's dad's first name, and the last name of English wrestler Steve Peacock. Bryan had a hard enough time ascending WWE's mountainside, even with fans screaming their heads off for him. Somehow, I don't see Buddy Peacock laying out Batista with the flying knee before slapping on the Yes Lock at the Superdome.
