10 Most Wildly Offensive Wrestler Names Ever

5. Killer Karl Kox

Killer Karl Kox There€™s a classic Simpsons episode where Krusty the Klown walks out onstage for the Krusty Komedy Klassic. Behind him are three large large white letter K€™s. He immediately recognizes the ramifications of this situation and says €œK K K? That€™s not good.€ The crowd then pelted him with garbage until he was knocked out. What Kruty did was an accident. Killer Karl Kox, however, was purposefully trying to stir up some controversy by sharing the same acronym of America€™s Ku Klux Klan white supremacist group. Kox was born Herb Gerwig, so it was pretty obvious that the man needed a new name if he was going to make it to the big time. Herb isn€™t very threatening, or interesting sounding, so Herb went in a pretty tasteless direction for his heel persona. When he moved from the mid-west territories down to Texas he chose a name that was immediately going to anger a large percentage of the crowd, and let it be known that he was a villain. Times were different back then, but that doesn€™t make the name any less offensive. You can€™t imagine that Killer Karl Kox would fly anywhere on a national scene these days.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
