5 WWE Wrestlers That Have A Better Real-Life Name

#1 Miroslav Barnyashev (Rusev)

Without question, Rusev's real-life name sounds far more intimidating...

Rusev is unquestionably a "once in a lifetime" kind of big man wrestler, as The Bulgarian Brute has performed phenomenally in most situations ever since his debut in 2014 -- whether Rusev's paired with another big wrestler or someone the size of AJ Styles, a great match is usually guaranteed.

Despite the fact that Rusev has gotten himself over to a great extent with his "Rusev Day" shtick alongside Aiden English, Rusev was definitely made to be a monster heel who demolishes his opponents within short order -- the kind of character Rusev was during his first year in WWE as an undefeated monster.

As most of you know, when Rusev had originally made his main roster debut, he went under the ring name "Alexander Rusev", and it was later shortened to just "Rusev" for whatever reason.

Although Rusev isn't a bad ring name by any stretch, Rusev's real-life name Miroslav Barnyashev sounds far more intimidating, foreign and monstrous. Rusev's real name would have fitted his monster heel persona far superior in our opinion, and if the WWE ever decides to go down that dominating heel route with Rusev again, Vince should consider letting Rusev use his government name...
