WWE: 20 Worst Wrestling Ring Names Ever

19. Puke

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKKiR2raC9U "He's gonna puke!" The infamous words of Vince McMahon during Darren Drozdov's audition interview which was captured in the film "Beyond The Mat". As a football player, Drozdov had a reputation for throwing up during games, once even throwing up on the ball immediately before it was handled by another player. He brought that unique "talent" to the squared circle using the apt but disgusting ring name "Puke". The unofficial third member of the Legion of Doom, Puke would team up with Animal and Hawk for a while before eventually being rejected by them for enabling Hawk's alcoholism. As Droz he would then go on to form his own group of freaks and weirdos with his personal piercing artist Prince Albert (Tensai) and Key (Vic Grimes) before suffering a terrible accident during a match that left him paralysed.

18. Scotty 2 Hotty

Scotty was one half (or one third if you count Rikishi) of Too Cool, one of the most popular midcard acts of the Attitude era. They danced their way into the hearts of fans around the world and The Worm is one of the most bizarrely over moves ever. But that name? Really? Scotty could have been the second coming of Bruno Sammartino and he would never have gotten beyond the midcard with a name like Scotty 2 Hotty. While he still makes the occasional indie show appearance, Scotty is now a firefighter. Let's hope things don't get "2 Hotty" for him out there (I'm not sorry).
