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 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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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
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.
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.
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”
*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. 👋
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.
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.
@@allenramosvoldengillagemas1673 what it do
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
I think we can all agree that the undertaker is a representation of the the Grim Reaper‘s assistant
Congratulations to Rey Mysterio he first inducted into Hall of Fame.... Thank u Rey...

anyone managed to solve the Sin Cara/ misitco/mysteziz multiverse? lol
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
Hunico is the original Mistico and the second Sin Cara. He's Cinta de Oro now.
How did this channel get its name?

Lmaooooo, why does that shot look so depressing. 😭😭

I remember hulk hogan wrestling in Memphis as "the incredible hulk hogan"
When his wife said stone cold the glass shattered.
CM Punk also mentioned it stood for Chick Magnet in the special features of his 2013 documentary Best In The World.
I thought it meant that he was like a skateboarder punk 😂
Steve Austin: Wants to change his gimmick for something serious
Also Steve Austin: *B E E R T R U C K*
This was an amazing video!!
Jack Action ... Action Jackson!
Not gonna lie, 10/10 name. I could hear people chanting it since it has 4 syllables

'The first man to commit murder is the perfect name for a man out for revenge.' Or something to that effect.
So Undertaker should have been named Able since Kane(Cain) is his brother 😂😂😂
R-Truth was in the WWF back in the day with Road Dogg.... you forgot to mention that

6:23 They did Hogan dirty with that comment🤣🤣🤣
Did you forget when ryback came back for nxt it was actually Skip Sheffield
2:00 correction king of mystery
Can you do bell to bell for Lince Dorado or Gran Metalik
You forgot to add John morrison in this list
Probably based off Jim Morrison a 70s icon
BAH GAWD IT'S OTTO VON RUTHLESS
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?
Yooooo ma boi I had you video on loud 😂😂 2:40
I love ur vids 😊😊😊
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?"
stephanie throwing up west side is hilarious to me 9:55
Why does young Roman reigns look like a buff jesus
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.
This WWE names is what better suits them.
Fun fact: Stone Cold Steve Austin is actually from Edna Texas
He was born in Austin, grew up in Edna
@@kristenslice561 I know, he comes to the gas station I work at to get his beers when he’s at his ranch.
Meh . . . I say I'm from Detroit for people who don't know Michigan very well. It's easier.
John Cena that's his real name and he got from his father who Is also John Cena
The Miz sounded like he was cutting a promo lol
Steve Austin's name is from a sitcom. The character was named Steve Austin.
You talking about the million dollar man?
@@126rollins23 Yes, I think so.

Rey Mysterio Is Amazing At 619 ♥️!When Cm Punk Before Was Working With WWE He Said At His Hater : You Still Hate But You See Me After 8 Years
man no offense to your English but I can't understand this sentence
i think phill said "you might hate me but in 8 more years you'll still be coming to see me"
@@San-li9ml That capitalization on every word doesn't help. Brain isn't expecting that.
I always thought Dolph got the name because he looks like Dolph Lundgren

You’re right.
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 😂
I thought Chris Jericho got his name from the Bible 😅.
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.
Makes sense how Rob Van Dam got his name, from the martial artist himself
Do the 2 part!!!
I've never seen Sasha Banks as a porn name but now that you've mentioned it I can't think differently anymore 😂
I thought reigns got his name from ex WWE star Luther Reigns at 1st
For a while, I thought Dolph Ziggler'e name was a parody type name of Adolf Hitler 🫣🫣
I thought Steve Austin's real name was Steve Anderson. At least that's what Wikipedia said. 😆
Wikipedia can be edited by anyone

Hogan lied basically saying he came up with the Triple H name lol, he said in WWF he was gonna be Triple H which would mean Hollywood Hulk Hogan 😂
The miz is my fave
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.

I thought his name was original
Ryback is my favorite name origin
I loved this

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.

Hopefully, Roman leaves too.

@KID Z4P forget Randy and John I wanna know how Brock Lesnar got his name
Same with Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle
He got it in the Trash
ok now what does rko stand for
I thought Dolph Zigler was supposed to sound like Adolf Hitler.
Did he say “poor name or porn name”?
Chick Magnet Punk.
Shasta”s mom wasn’t wrong Shastas crazy
Stone Cold Im very sure is from Edna Texas.
It was said shawn michaels first told vince to call him triple h
shawn michaels came up with triple h, he told vince instead 3 names just say triple h. Vince and paul both said it was shawns idea
I feel like R-Truth should've stayed with TNA. They took him seriously
But did Lacuna Coil get 'Our Truth' from R-Truth?
(Obviously not, but you get what I mean)
Can you do John cena bell to bell
BIG mistake on not hiring The Undertaker
HHH means hunter Hearst Helmsley
