Meaningful Name/Professional Wrestling

It is a long-standing tradition in Professional Wrestling for gimmick names to let fans know exactly what they're in for.

---

• Kharma, who beats up heel Divas. In other words, Kharma's a bitch, and it comes back to bite you in the ass.
• Sin Cara means No Face. This has a double meaning; not only does his mask completely hide his face, but due to legal necessity, he left his previous identity as Mistico behind when he signed with WWE -- in other words, he is now without the "face" he has wrestled under his entire career.
• A man of mystery: Rey Mysterio, Jr.. Doubles that in Spanish his name is King Mystery or King of Mystery.
• Pompous Brit: Stephen William Regal
• Insane woman: Luna
• Destructive giant from India: The Great Khali [sic]
• Pain-bringing Wild Samoan warrior: Umaga ("The End")
• Corrupt taxman: Irwin R. Schyster [sic]
• Evil dentist (yes, dentist): Isaac Yankem
  • Who later became jealous, murderous brother Kane.
• Angry Scotsman: Roddy Piper
• Japanese silent warrior with facepaint: The Great Kabuki
• Adult film star: Val Venis (Rhymes with...)
• Texan cowboy brothers: Billy and Bart Gunn
• Gothic vampire: Gangrel (They even gave White Wolf credit for the name when licensing it!)
• Little Richard-style flamboyant rock'n'roller: Johnny B. Badd
• That said, that heel with all the pizazz was really born Ric (Richard) Fleihr, and the egotistical Ravishing Rick Rude was actually named Richard Roode.
• Buffed out hero. Hulk Hogan (Licensed from Marvel, even.)
• Treacherous Brother: Judas Mesias
• Mexican wrestling legend Dos Caras (Two Faces) was so named because he was one of Lucha's first prominent tweeners; on any given night, he could be a Face or a Heel.
• Though the same height as Kane, but The Big Show is called that rather his birth name, Paul, for a reason. He’s about seven feet tall and a super heavyweight… enough to break the ring upon a superplex. Just ask a former NCAA amateur wrestler and a Olympic weightlifter that… they learn about it the hard way.
