10 Worst Ring Names In Wrestling History

A Vince Russo 'classic', this.
You can see why Vinces Russo and McMahon got along so well before the Brooklynite jumped ship - they shared a similarly puerile sense of humour.
The Misfits In Action were a typical Russo creation - it's obvious that the guy thought of the name first, squeaked out a little giggle, probably followed by a "no way did I just think of that, bro!" and worked backwards. Most of their other members could easily warrant a place on this list, not least of which 'G.I. Bro', given that there was absolutely no need to repackage one of WCW's only genuine homegrown stars in Booker T.
That brainless decision epitomised the nonsensical, counterproductive thinking which saw WCW get flushed down the very toilet Russo had made it into.
Major Gunns was equally groan-inducing, named, of course, after her ample breasts. The very much present Sgt. AWOL was so named because the gentleman who portrayed him previously went by The Wall. Lt. Loco was alliterative purely because the decidedly sane Chavo Guerrero, Jr. was Mexican-American. Major Stash, the former Van Hammer, was named after his fondness for cannabis. Hur-hur!
The stable was one of many low points in Russo's WCW, devised seemingly entirely for his own easy amusement.
