Create Your Own Wrestler Name


Wrestlemania XXVI came to the Valley today. If you don’t think that’s important, you don’t know anything about roman numerals. I wrote my State Press opinion column on Wrestlemania and stated at the end that my wrestler name is The Giraffe. Many wrestlers choose their names based on some sort of gimmick, like World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star Stephen Farrelly, whose red hair led him to taking the stage name Sheamus O’Shaunessy. (Thanks for doing Ireland proud, Steve.) After writing the article, I decided it was necessary to have an effective system for making WWE names, so anyone can do it. The instructions are simple:

Step 1: Flip a coin to decide which column (left or right) to decide your adjective name.

Step 2: Use your first initial to decide which adjective to use. (Adam becomes Absorbent or Abrasive and Bill become Brutal or Beastly.)

Step 3: Flip a coin again to decide whether to use an animal or profession.

Step 4: Use your last initial to decide which animal or profession to use as your second wrestler name. (Don’t think a hangnail is a profession? Try walking a mile in their shoes.)

Step 5: Add the word “The” in front of your name and feel free to use exclamation points. Enjoy your wrestler name!

Example: I flipped a tails and a heads, so my name is “The Juicy Flamingo!”

  2. No, no, no. You use your last initial for the second name. You would either be The Droopy Flamingo or The Droopy Friar. Dad would be The Threatening Flamingo or The Threatening Friar. Mine is The Juicy Flamingo, so maybe we could form a Flamingo family.
