Ultimate Muscle also featured name spoofs of other wrestlers, Like Kevin Mask ( Kevin Nash ) and used a group called the dMp which was a logo and spelling spoof on the nWo group. Terryman used the spinning toe hold to copy funk. A whole lot of the series is a parody of actual wrestling.

those are awesome, if you look at the link mentioned earlier, you can clearly see some that are based on known wrestlers. (apologies to my cousins across the pond, but
Neptuneman = Bruiser Brody
Big The Budo = Kendo Nagasaki (Old English World of Sport Wrestler)
Currycook = Chris Daniels, well Curryman (althought he's black, so maybe Daniels' and Orlando Jordan's love child??) Don't even need to see the pic, just the name gives that 1 away!!
Beautie Rordes = Would be Dusty!!
Zebra = Any one of the various Zebra kid gimmiks over the years (not sure if there were in the states, but there's been a few over here)
Soldier = Slaughter
Geronimo = Tatanka
Prince Kamehame = Any african/ugandan/Garnain whatever gimmik. (Kamala, NaNa)
Wolfman: Rikishiman = Do i really need to?? ok then....Rikishi maybe??
All very obivous and very surprised they havnt been brought into court about it. :S

All very obivous and very surprised they havnt been brought into court about it. :S Some of those work and some don't. You have to remember these toys were based on the series from the 1980's in Japan. Chris Daniels wasn't wrestling back then. Not sure if Rikishi was around then. But a lot of Kinnukuman was inspired by real wrestlers. |

The figures aren't from the 80's, but the designs are. These are from a company called Romando and were made in the last 8 years or so. I'm really surprised wrestling fans don't know more about Kinnikuman as it is the grand daddy of Pro Wrestling comics and animation. |
