20 Dumbest Wrestler Names EVER (...That We Absolutely LOVE)

17. Big Bully Busick

Cast your eyes on a real wrong 'un. He's the kind of thug who'd steal your lunch money at school, thus starting the slow, depressing roll to a life of crime. By adulthood, he'd progress to petty acts of vandalism, then escalate to full on assault, bank robbery and more. He's Big Bully Busick, and he...

...is far more likely to stare at the lights for Jimmy Snuka, The British Bulldog and countless more WWF stars on house shows in 1991. This Bully didn't really get a lengthy run in the federation (one hell of a moustache, right enough) - he debuted with a win over Russ Greenberg on the 31 August '91 edition of Superstars, then bid farewell to the biggest promotion in the land with a loss to 'Superfly' Snuka on the 8 November house show.

In between all of that, Busick feuded with The Brooklyn Brawler in a rivalry that no-one asked for when putting together festive wrestling wish lists the prior year. Bully did almost make it onto pay-per-view at Survivor Series 1991, but he was replaced by Hercules. Being fair, his name was so on the nose for a 1920s-style villain gimmicky wrestler.

You lousy bum. This ring ain't big enough for the both of us etc etc.

The alliterative feel of those 3 'B's' back to back to back is pleasing though. Big Bully Busick. That defo rolls off the tongue nicely, but it was Big himself who rolled right out of the fed exit doors almost as quickly as he'd walked through them in the first place.
