I was reading the thread asking what people would have thought of Razor as WWF champ in 1995 instead of Diesel and it made me wonder what everyone calls certain guys. If you were telling somebody what the title match at WM XI was would you ever say it was Kevin Nash vs. Shawn Michaels? Do you think of him as Diesel pre -nWo and Kevin Nash after, or do you call him Diesel all the time? Not just Nash, but guys in the same situation - John Tenta/Earthquake Razor/Hall 1-2-3 Kid/Syxx/X-Paq/Waltman and so on.

Nash is pretty much always Nash. John, bless him, is always going to be 'Quake. Scott Hall is Scott Hall. Sean Waltman is X-Pac. The one I flit around on is Viscera. Usually I combine them to Big Mabelly Viscera  |

I usually veer towards whatever gimmick it was at the time. The Orient Express was Tanaka and Kato, not Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond, etc.
I can understand though where people go with this, especially with the three "main" Wolfpac guys (Nash, Hall and Waltman) because all of their identities and names eventually got blended into their "real" personas.
The one thing that irks me though is when people talking about something along the lines of "Bolea vs. Andre" or "Calloway vs. Foley"

i always use whatever name they go by at the time. , i hate how people talk using the guys' real names, like they 'know' them.

Undertaker more than anyone seems to get the casual "call him by his real name" treatment among the major workers. While I've never seen, say, Piper get referred to casually by his real name in discussions, Hogan and Taker do quite often. |
