It is a long-standing tradition in Professional Wrestling for [[Meaningful Name|gimmick names]] to let fans know [[Exactly What It Says
----
* ''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 [[World Wrestling Entertainment|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: ''[[Fun
* Evil dentist (yes, dentist): Isaac ''Yankem''
** Who later became jealous, murderous brother ''[[
* Angry Scotsman: [[Roddy Piper|Roddy]] ''[[Roddy Piper|Piper]]''
* Japanese silent warrior with facepaint: The Great ''Kabuki''
Line 23:
* Treacherous Brother: ''Judas Mesias''
* Mexican wrestling legend ''Dos Caras'' (Two Faces) was so named because he was one of Lucha's first prominent [[Wild Card|tweeners]]; on any given night, he could be a [[Face]] or a [[Heel]].
* Though the same height as [[Kane (wrestling)| Kane]], but [[The Big Show| The Big Show]] is called that [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"| 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 [[Brock Lesnar| former NCAA amateur wrestler]] and a [[Mark Henry| Olympic weightlifter]] that… they learn about it the hard way.
