10 Worst Ring Names In Wrestling History
5. Irwin R. Schyster
More anti-semitism from the WWF here - the name Irwin R. Schyster is so stereotypically Jewish that it's a wonder Trey Parker didn't come up with it for satirical purposes.
Rotunda was known as Michael Wallstreet, a man who knew how to make wise investments, in WCW, so the WWF sort of half-allowed Mike Rotunda to transpose his character to the north - but in typically insensitive fashion. Vince McMahon, according to Matthew Randazzo V's 'Ring of Hell', asked Carlito if he could 'sp*c it up some' during his initial meeting with WWE officials, so this sort of profiling was evidently nothing new.
Mike Rotunda is actually Italian-American. The WWF didn't even bother hiring somebody Jewish to denigrate an entire ethnoreligious group.
Rotunda has the dubious distinction of helping to popularise the occupational gimmicks so beloved of the WWF in the early 90s. A police officer is one thing - you can see a man of the law becoming a wrestler - but a garbage man, a dentist and a deranged monk were embarrassments to all wrestling fans.
IRS, despite garnering acclaim with his Money Inc. tag team with Ted DiBiase, was somehow worse.
