Dolph Ziggler is an incredible worker and doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for his performances but you've got to wonder if he would have done better by now if he wasn't cursed with a name that made him sound like a German adult film star. Allegedly, the original plan was for him to be known as Dolph Diggler which would have somehow been even worse than the nominative monstrosity he was eventually given. Be thankful for small mercies.
10. Max Moon
A rare case here where the name has been used by two wrestlers. Originally created by Konnan, Max Moon was a cyborg who was from the future or from outer space or wherever else it sounded cool for him to be from. The costume and entrance were so expensive that even when Konnan left the WWF the company was forced to give the gimmick to someone else - Paul Diamond - before eventually abandoning it altogether. Bedecked with circuitry and a pyrotechnic gun, Max Moon certainly looked impressive for the time, but that name? Could someone not come up with something better than "Moon" for a man from space? Awful.
