Edge was originally going to be Val Venis then went with Edge. It was Shawm Michael's to call him Triple H. As for The Game nickname, it was originally supposed to be for Owen Hart but when he passed, Triple H took it to honor him
Steve Austin is also the name of a character in 70's tv show The Six Million Dollar Man . After an aircraft crash Austin was fitted with bionic implants in one arm , one eye and both legs . The implants totalled six million dollars hence the name of the show . After the implants Austin gained super strength and vision . Sidenote Jim Ross often called Stone Cold Steve Austin "the bionic redneck" .
Edge got his name from a TORONTO radio station not New York called 102.1 THE EDGE and he also worked there for a short bit. (I know this because at a College campus that I went to it showed people who graduated from the Radio Broadcasting program and what they did in radio or entertainment and they showed him)
There’s a 3rd rey mysterio the rey we know got the name from his uncle because his uncle didn’t have a son at the time so he had no one to pass the name to but after rey took the name his uncle eventually had a son who would have been rey mysterio jr but since his cousin already had the name he chose a second way sons of luchadors use the name passed down to them so he’s El Hijo de Rey Misterio he also has a cool mask
The person who called the undertaker was Vince, let me tell the story. So after the Undertaker was in WCW (8-9 months) he wanted to join WWE, which was called WWF at the time. Then he talked in the office for WWE but Vince didn’t accept, after a few months, Taker wanted to try again so then Taker went to Vince McMahon’s house and then they talked. McMahon did not like the idea, so Undertaker waited. Then Taker got a call by Vince. And that was the mystery man.
Also Bruce Pritchard said "Cain" is his favorite name. He even named his son Cain. Spelled like the Biblical spelling. It was on WWE Untold. 'The first man to commit murder is the perfect name for a man out for revenge.' Or something to that effect.
There are four people in this “Mistico-verse”: The OG Mistico / Sin Cara / Caristico (Luis Alvirde) Dralistico / Mistico II (Carlos Gonzalez) Hunico / Sin Cara Negro / Cinta De Oro (Jose Rodriguez) Myzteziz Jr
Paul White (sic) was "The Giant" in WCW. Sideshow Vinnie gave him the name "The Big Show", or TBS as a poke at Ted Turner, owner of TBS and Turner Broadcasting. As in, "Now we have the big show!"
Noone Like's The Name The Big Show Over The Giant. Plus The Giant Was Way Better In WCW. He Could've Taken On Every WWE Faction By Himself. The Union Having The Giant From WCW Didn't Need 2×4's For The 7 Corporate Ministry Main Members. Two Top WCW Stars Could've Taken On The Corporate Ministry , Any Of These Two-Sting, Goldberg, Lex Luger, Sid Vicious, The Giant,, Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, Bret Hart. And They Would've Did It With No WEAPONS. The WWE Treated The Corporate Ministry Like The Company Was In Danger. WCW Would've Been More Hopeful/Optimistic Of The Corporate Ministry Not Taking Over The COMPANY. When The Four Horsemen & Dungeon Of Doom Merged Which Were Bigger Than The Corporate Ministry, WCW Didn't Treat Them Like They Were Going To Take Over The Company.
Reallllly sounds like some writer was messing with Dolph "I won't be Diggler! It's too silly!" "Fine! You Can be Ziggler! Is that better, Ziggler? Is that too silly, Ziggler?"
Great video. The videos of younger wrestlers were so cool. And I think Punk is still lying and no one will ever know. Also, Dolph Diddler? Those names suggested to Austin? Is WWE just looking to make joke gimmicks?
The C.M. my mean nothing and just sounded cool. I got my name because my dad thought the initials DDS after a dentist name looked cool. Then he just attach names that began with D. He was at one time "Stunning" Steve Austin. Knowing that, I just can't take his "bada$$" gimmick. It makes me laugh. And yes the WWE, or should I say "Sideshow Vinnie", likes his gimmicky comic book type names.
Roman Reigns should do like a Roman character gimmick. Like Julius Ceasar type of person. After all, his name is "Roman Reigns". All he needs to do is go to Rome and do like the Romans.
Too easy . . . WWE is corny enough with the names, just so WWE can copyright them, not the wrestler. Stars with the stroke use their real name because no one eise can copyright it. The company can use it for the work the entertainer does under contract, but can't prevent them from using it when they move on. Same goes for stage names if the wrestler negotiates for it, or they have copyrighted their own stage name before signing and the company agrees to use it. There are some other nuances for merch. But like they say, anything can be negotiated.
I knew cm stood for chick magnet when I heard he teamed with that guy. Never even bother thinking other than that and 15 years later it came out as true 😂
Gotta Add Atleast 500 more on the List, U better Believe Shawn Michaels would be a laughing stock if he used his Real Last Name The Heartbreak Hickenbottom”
Ice Dagger as a wrestling name does sound pretty awful but as a signature move I think it could’ve been alright, maybe a running elbow like Wade Barrett or a spear
*Correction* Steve Austin was born in Victoria,Texas my hometown, and Raised in Edna, Texas just 30 minutes out from Victoria. Not trying to be a prick I'm just stating facts, don't exactly know where he got the Austin in his name, but that is not true. I enjoy the content other than that though. 👋
Probably the easiest one. A lot of people were given nicknames by friends that shorten a last name. Other people give you the best nicknames. Rarely does your own creations stick.
Actually it was Todd Pettengill who gave Hunter the name Triple H in 1996 when curt Henning left wwf in a story promo. In your house buried alive before Dx. So go back watch the promo set up of TripleH VS stone cold and it was the first match on the card. You'll hear Todd call Hunter Triple H.
Yeah, that may have been the first public use of the initials. But whose to say how long others may have used it backstage. You're the perfect WWE mark. You seem to be ready to believe everything they say that they created everything in wrestling first. So I'm here to tell you, Steph (or the WWE) didn't put Women's wrestling on the map. TNA/Impact did gauntlet (RoyalRumble) matches and hardcore women's matches like twenty years ago. There are other examples, for both men and women, but we won't get into that. It was one example.
When commentating with Vince McMahon and Jim Ross Mr Perfect referred to Helmsley as HHH . Survivor Series 1995 is available on Blu Ray and DVD and The Darkside vs The Royals match is available on UA-cam .
Just an FYI, in Spanish the letter "j" is pronounced like an "h" so it would be LA-GAR-TEE-HA. Also it sounded like you said Rey Mysterio means Mystery Kid it means King Mystery. Edit: I misheard the "Mystery Kid" part
I find AJ styles to be very amazing. Glad he kept it irrespective of him not liking it initially
You could say that on that day, Adam Copeland saw clearly everything had come to life
Another chance to chase his dream
corny ass ☠️☠️
Another chance to feel alive
I’m so glad Kane didn’t get stuck with ‘Inferno’
But it would be ironic 😂
Ironically Vince McMahon was kinda right about the Dolph Ziggler name cuz it isn’t forgettable and honestly it is different.
Edge was originally going to be Val Venis then went with Edge.
It was Shawm Michael's to call him Triple H. As for The Game nickname, it was originally supposed to be for Owen Hart but when he passed, Triple H took it to honor him
And Sean morley who plays the val Venis character is the one who's supposed to play the edge character
@91mrpogi except it wouldn't really make sense as Val venis is a ladies man character. And edge is a crafty bad boy character
You forgot that Ryback was also called Skip Sheffield in NXT
Yip yip
I was just looking to make a comment that said something similar. Not only on NXT but on the main Roster as part of Wade Barrett’s Nexus.

I remember hulk hogan wrestling in Memphis as "the incredible hulk hogan"
CM Punk also mentioned it stood for Chick Magnet in the special features of his 2013 documentary Best In The World.

Can you do bell to bell for Lince Dorado or Gran Metalik
Jack Action ... Action Jackson!
Not gonna lie, 10/10 name. I could hear people chanting it since it has 4 syllables
So Jericho who's a rockstar himself inspired by other rockstars to give him his name
In an alternate universe, he saw the Helloween album and said "THAT'S MY NEW RING NAME, CHRIS HELLOWEEN"
@Raizen Lim wouldn't it be Chris Myers or Michael Irvine?
So Undertaker should have been named Able since Kane(Cain) is his brother 😂😂😂
The serial killer is nothing to do with his name. It was the Deborah interaction! Steve has said this numerous times
Dont get worked up. He did think of the character based on the iceman but the name stone cold came from Deborah. Just like he said.
I loved this
stephanie throwing up west side is hilarious to me 9:55

That's where "The Walls of Jericho" came from. God destroyed the city of Jericho, because of the people weren't very nice people. Biblically speaking.

This WWE names is what better suits them.
