10 Worst Ring Names In Wrestling History
9. Michael McGillicutty
Respectfully, Joe Hennig could have used his own, famous family name and still not made it past the WWE midcard. Unlike Cobana, he doesn't have anything beyond his paint by numbers style with which to climb up the card. He plays a decent deluded blowhard on WWE TV - but how much of that is deliberate remains up for review.
In fairness to the man, he was lumbered with a laughably awful name. There's logic - borderline offensive logic - to the Goldman handle. But how Michael McGillicutty, something more befitting of a boy scout than a wrestler, was chosen is beyond comprehension. It's a stretch, but perhaps the alliterative aspect had a plucky superhero vibe about it.
It's far more likely that they just picked it out of a bloody hat at random.
Hennig almost made a second appearance on this list - Curtis Axel is a terrible portmanteau of his father and grandfather's name, a perfect metaphor for being careful what one wishes for. People wanted WWE to acknowledge his rich family history, and they did so in the worst way imaginable.
McGillicutty is somehow much worse. It's so jobberfied that they might as well have stuck 'Jumpin'' at the beginning of it.
