3. Cable Jones

Cable Jones never made it to the main roster, spending the bulk of 2010 wrestling in Florida Championship Wrestling before his release that November. The 6'6'", 300 pounder possessed a menacing look, with a bald head the size of a medicine ball, which makes one wonder how a person earns the first name "Cable". Maybe a game of "I Spy" among the creative folk one afternoon led to the name, when an HDMI cord was the object of choice.

Jones' gimmick played on his real-world job of a chiropractor, making him an evil doctor that dispensed pain to his victims. Say what you will about Dr. Isaac Yankem, DDS, but at least Isaac's a plausible first name. Dr. Cable Yankem sounds like the guy who disconnects your illegal Xfinity hookup.
