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

Cast your minds back to the 'Attitude Era' days of WWE. Back then, before they 'got the F out', the organisation was a true melting pot of different styles and ideas. Impressed by Taka Michinoku's work in the Light-Heavyweight Division but knowing they didn't have a string of opponents for him, the company brought in Kaientai - Sho Funkai, Dick Togo and Men's Teioh.

Teioh would play something of a street punk in the WWF, so he didn't get to show off his alter ego: Terry Boy. No, he wasn't a Japanese wrestler obsessed with delicious Terry's Chocolate Oranges (although that would've been amazing), but he was obsessed with iconic hardcore brawler and Texas hard nut Terry Funk.

That was the gist of Terry Boy. Of course, being a young boy in Japanese wrestling circles means being a protege/trainee learning the ropes and paying dues. Teioh adopted the name Terry Boy to signify that he wished to learn from Funk and follow in his footsteps, and it's a shame we didn't get to see that in the federation considering Funk was there at roughly the same time (as Chainsaw Charlie).

Imagine a Japanese midcarder started calling themselves 'Styles Boy' or 'AJ Boy' in 2026 and fell under the learning tree of AJ Styles. They could carry on his legacy, then lose to Gunther via submission on WWE PLE. It's a storyline waiting to happen! 

Fun bonus fact: Kaientai were originally known as Kaientai Deluxe or Kaientai DX for short. They had to drop the DX bit due to D-Generation X when they signed with the WWF.
