Big Bossman - Was Big Bubba Rogers originally in NWA, then went back to it later but will always be Bossman to me. Dean Douglas - No, just no. Zodiac/Butcher/Furface/Booty Man/Man with No Name/Etc - Brutus The Barber Beefcake only please Don't even start with Kerwin White That was just awful and IMO insulting to the Guerrero name. Some name changes for me: Dudleys => Team 3D, Mabel -> Viscera, Brutus Beefcake - > anything else. |

Ahh I forgot to include this one. So stupid that they changed his name. The guy was a freaking former King of the Ring and WWF Heavyweight Champion as Mabel; why change it? |

I don't really have any name issues apart from the fact that team 3d will always be the Dudley boys, Bubba Ray and Devon. Oh, and X-Pac was always X-Pac to me while he was in TNA, under various alterations such as Syxx Pac and Sean Waltman.

Mabel was never WWF champ man....he was a tag champ briefly though Jesus Christ, I guess you're right. I don't know wtf made me think he was; I would have bet my life that he held it for a brief time after winning the King of the Ring. I feel I should probably hand in my classic wrestling fan card haha. Maybe I'm just thinking of his Bend-Ems figure holding the title in my figure fed?  Unreal |

the Beefcake thing created a moment that lives forever in infamy with my friends and me...
we were watching Nitro,and out comes Beefcake in his newest guise, "The Booty Man" , managed by Kimberly, "The Booty Babe".... and Tony Schiavone proceeds to openly wonder who this youngster is ....
i literally spit beer clear across the room,and proceeded to fill the room with a profanity-laced rant that lasted well over 15 minutes,as i cursed WCW and Schiavone for assuming EVERYONE watching is an idiot,and we don't recognize that he's BEEN wrestling in WCW as Brutus Beefcake,The Butcher,and The Zodiac for years now before this new gimmick debut..

Unreal LOL I know exactly how you feel man-I have thought several wrestlers held titles that they never did. most notably Tatanka as IC champ-I could have swore he was.....until someone told me he wasnt and I had to go look it up on WWE.com to be sure ;D |
