5 Worst WWE Wrestler Names

#2 The Goon

The Goon: Made a one night only return at Wrestlemania X-7

Bill Irwin was best known for competing in Mid South and World Class Championship Wrestling in the early 1980s and in Jim Crockett Promotions at the end of the decade primarily in successful tag teams.

When he got his shot in WWE however, Irwin was saddled with the ridiculous moniker, "The Goon."

The character was supposed to be a Hockey player who had been kicked out of every league available to him. If that sounds ludicrous. That's because it was. The character was a massive failure and lasted a matter of months in 1996.

Goon in Hockey parlance is meant to refer to the "tough guy" on a team, the one player that would break up fights or enforce the rules.

However, WWE would have been wise to do some further research, as in other parts of the world, the word "goon" refers to a "silly or foolish" person. That sounds about right.
