10 Dumbest Names For Modern WWE Wrestlers
4. Michael McGillicutty
JTG talked about this one recently: why can't Joe Hennig use "Hennig" in any capacity? Mr. Perfect is a wrestler more than worth paying tribute to, and for his son to be unable to carry on the legacy with the surname is a bit of a crime.
"Curtis Axel" is a decent make-up choice, paying homage to Curt and Larry "The Ax" Hennig, and it's worlds better than his original name.
Say this about Vince McMahon, he's quite proud of his Irish heritage. So proud that he stuck Axel with the ungodly-long last name of McGillicutty, and put him over as being Mr. Perfect's son, albeit with the name McGillicutty.
The unusual choice of name didn't exactly get McGillicutty over as a strong-willed Irishman. In fact, it didn't get him over at all.
