In kayfabe, is a wrestler's ring name their birth name? Like, in kayfabe was Roman Reigns "born" Roman Reigns, or was he born Leati Anoai but decided "Roman Reigns" was more intimidating?
>>19549955It's like the French Foreign Legion where they give you a new identity.
>>19549955Well it does have a ring to it
>>19549955THIS ISN'T YOU COLBY
>>19549980When they finally realize is them looking at porn and not me
>>19549955Yes I'm sure someone named their kids Husky Harris
>>19549955Depends on the character though. Mankind/Dude Love were always said to be the characters of the character Mick Foley but Cactus Jack in WCW was just Cactus Jack while Cactus Jack in ECW was Mick Foley iirc.The Rock’s name in kayfabe was Rocky Maivia until whenever the first time they acknowledged that he just took the names of two of his relatives
>>19549955Everyone has a stage name, hence why HHH is Paul and not Hunter anymore. They routinely acknowledge the lineage of Bron Breaker being a Steiner.
>>19549955I don't think anyone really thought it that far so it's like Leaky is a different person, the gimmick is it's own continuity unless otherwise stated like Baron Corbin - Happy Corbin - Sad Corbin - burn the ships Corbin.. they all have a throughline
