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.
