10 Times WWE Saddled Wrestlers With HORRENDOUS Names
7. Shorty G
WWE love it when they have a legitimate athlete on their books. Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar brought great legitimacy in the early noughties, and a rocket was strapped on Ronda Rousey when she finally made the jump.
Well, the same courtesy has not been extended to Charles Betts, AKA Chad Gable, AKA Shorty G. What seemed an off the cuff remark by Baron Corbin in relation to the Olympic wrestler’s diminutive stature has against all odds stuck as Gable’s new ring name. It’s a baffling one - Gable surely can’t be too happy about this, and it’s not as though the fans have latched on to the new name in a big way. As with much of the goings-on in WWE, it seems likely someone in authority finds this new name amusing, and as such the poor guy is stuck with it.
Gable’s career was chugging along nicely, if unspectacularly, up to this point, but a name as daft and insulting as Shorty G is hardly going to help put him over, especially since his gimmick is just 'Being good at wrestling'. Here’s hoping he can shrug this off and keep moving in the right direction.
