10 Worst Ring Names In Wrestling History
7. Mr. A**
Monty Kip Sopp, like Joe Hennig before him, was lumbered with more than one stinker of a ring name.
Things started well for him in the WWF. Billy Gunn was entirely inoffensive, if nothing else, despite its pun-tastic nature, but once the Smoking Gunns tag team dissolved, he made his first misstep. As the Honky Tonk Man's protege - a role which rarely works in wrestling - Sopp became Rockabilly, another risible pun.
After this gimmick predictably bombed, Gunn found huge success alongside Road Dogg Jesse James as Bad A** Billy Gunn in the New Age Outlaws. He must've been relieved to have been bestowed with a damn good nickname, especially since the Attitude Era saw as many clunkers as the more maligned New Generation. He could've been squeezing his own orange juice as a Real Man's Man.
Unbelievably, the WWF then renamed him 'Mr. Ass', purely because had a toned posterior he was fond of wiggling about at every opportunity. Even 'Nice A**' Billy Gunn or 'Chiseled A**' Billy Gunn would have been preferable. 'Mr. A**' was just oddly formal and completely reductive. He was no longer even Billy Gunn. He was just a man with an aerobicised a**.
Whether or not 'Billy G' was worse is debatable...
