For example...

-Shawn Michaels debuted in 2002 to try and stop Big Show, hence his nickname The Showstopper.

[Tiger Millionaire]

Stone Cold Steve Austin was named as such because he had an Ice Cream Man gimmick.

A mine given to Kane's parents — to settle a bill for room and board — happens to be rich in gold, making the family suddenly wealthy. In 1871, Kane's mother puts him under the guardianship of a New York City banker named Walter Parks Thatcher, who raises him in luxury until he becomes an adult. However, Kane blames Thatcher for ripping him away from his family. In acts of rebellion, he attends prestigious colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Cornell — and gets himself expelled from all of them.

As an adult, Kane takes control of a Thatcher-owned newspaper called the New York Inquirer, thinking that "it might be fun to run a newspaper". His first act as the paper's new owner is to publish a "declaration of principles" stating his duty to be truthful to his readers. However, he almost immediately begins using yellow journalism tactics to blow stories out of proportion, encourage a war with Spain, and thwart Thatcher's political goals and business interests — including ones Kane holds stock in. Kane also hires staff members away from the rival Chronicle newspaper, regarding them as collectibles. To finance the initially-fledgling Inquirer, Kane uses his personal resources; this would allow him to operate it — even at a million dollar annual loss — for decades.

Kane eventually marries Emily Monroe Norton, the niece of an apparently fictional president of the United States. Unfortunately, the marriage sours as his wealth and power feed his megalomaniacal ego. As his popularity and fortune increases, Kane runs for Governor of New York against reputedly corrupt boss J. W. Gettys. An election victory is almost certain until Gettys reveals evidence of Kane's affair with a young "singer" named Susan Alexander. Gettys blackmails Kane, meeting with him and his wife at Susan's apartment. Kane, however, refuses to drop out of the race despite Gettys' leverage. As a result, the scandal goes public and Kane loses the election decisively. Furthermore, his best friend, Jedediah Leland, becomes profoundly disillusioned at Kane's haughty arrogance — first by humiliating his family, and then by treating the electorate like his personal property — insisting on being transferred to Kane's Chicago paper to stay away from him.

Emily divorces Kane in 1916, and dies two years later in a car crash with their son. Kane marries Susan and forces her into a doomed and humiliating career as an opera singer, even though such performances are seriously out of her depth. This effort costs Kane more than money when Jedediah Leland, now a drama critic for the Chicago Inquirer, refuses to follow the company line praising Alexander's performances. Leland becomes too drunk at the difficult task of writing a truthful review against his friend's wishes, falling into a stupor. Kane, while visiting the paper's newsroom, finishes the review with the negative tone intact to prove to Leland that he still has integrity. However, he simultaneously fires Leland for not indulging his obsession. In retaliation, Leland refuses his severance package and mails back the torn up check, along with the original copy of Kane's "declaration of principles" to show he has no integrity. Kane considers the document obsolete and tears it up in anger.

After the despondent Susan attempts suicide, Kane releases her from her disastrous operatic career and retires to Xanadu, his gigantic Gothic chateau in Florida. Susan is unable to stand the monotonous routine inside the cavernous mansion and Kane's increasingly domineering nature, and eventually leaves him. The business downturns of the Great Depression — as well as Kane's excessive spending habits on the crumbling and unfinished Xanadu — costs Kane much of his control of his media empire, which he is forced to sell to Thatcher. Kane, however, still has considerable wealth. He returns to Xanadu and becomes a recluse, living alone and remaining estranged from all his friends. Kane dies of old age in 1941 uttering the cryptic word "Rosebud".

Reporter Jerry Thompson is assigned to track down the meaning of "Rosebud" shortly after Kane's highly-publicized death. Despite interviewing all of Kane's living acquaintances, he never finds it. In truth, the word "Rosebud" was written on the sled Kane was given by his parents as a little boy, and left behind at his mother's boarding house when he was sent away to live with Thatcher. It is implied in the film that Kane finds the sled in a warehouse around the time he first meets Susan. The sled is burned in an incinerator after Kane's death, along with other possessions seen as trash by the bank. It represents the innocence and love stolen from Kane when he was taken from his parents.

As a young man wrestling in Japan Khali defeated the great Muta and as a result believed that his opponent didn't deserve his moniker, therefore he decided that he would adopt the title "The great Khali" to show the world what true greatness is.

Mike Sanders tried something similar but his match resulted in a double count-out, however he decided that was still above average.

Hardcore Holly defeated Triple H and Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania to become the World Heavyweight Champion! He would retain champion until Summerslam when a young upstart Randy Orton defeated him for the title.

Rey Mysterio was trained by his dad Ron Mysterio.

Chris Jericho defeated Goldberg in 1999 to become WCW Heavyweight Champion. He dropped the title to Billy Kidman before departing to the WWF.

The son of a photo copier and a canoe, Ted Dibiase grew up as just your average bowl of vanilla ice cream in Everytown, Ohio. Later, after being adopted by The Million Dollar Man, he dcided it was his right to star in movies and become a wrestler.

Now he bangs Maryse.

Terry Bollea was named Hulk Hogan after the night when he bodyslammed a 7 feet tall and 900 pounds giant in front of 200.000 fans, the amount of weight that he carried was so impressive that the 200.000 fans shouted at the same time ''this guy has the force of THE HULK''

The hogan name came just for business reasons

The "B" in Koko B. Ware is actually "Beefcake." While feuding with Koko in late 1986, Brutus Beefcake discovered that Koko Beefcake was actually his bastard half-brother, left at an orphanage as a baby but later adopted by the wealthy Ware family, which ran a bird sanctuary in Union City, Tenn. Beefcake won their big blowoff match at the 1987 Royal Rumble; due to a stipulation, Koko was not allowed to bill himself as a Beefcake ever again, though he kept the initial.

Mickie James is the adopted sister of Lebron James, who he discovered at Disney World.

Never a more appropriate time to use this.

Bill Goldberg was born Yitzhak Goldberg in Brooklyn, the son of Hassidic Russian immigrants. In an effort to hide the fact they were wrestling in the independent circuit, Goldberg and his brother Shlomo changed their names to Bill and Steve Austin. Austin kept his name, but Bill changed his last name back to Goldberg at the advice of a booker and was disowned by his own family when they found out he was wrestling. He tried winning them back with a short winning streak in the WWE, but it didn't work.

Nowadays Goldberg jobs out to Bryan Danielson in the indies.

[Haulk]

The Zombie got his nickname from peddling drugs to Festus.

[Matt Dunn]

Goldberg and Austin are cousins. That's why they look so similar.

Mark Henry held the World title in Japan for 4 years before dropping it to Vader.

But... when did he wrestle?

[Matt Dunn]

Steve Austin debuted in 1985 in WWF as Dangerous Dan Spivey. He then went on to wrestle for a while as The Warlord.

[BorneAgain]

Fake Kane from 2006 was in fact the real (burned) Kane, who disappeared from wrestling in 2000 and initially allowed the current one to take his place. May 19th referred not to the day Kane's parents died, but to the day 6 years before that the old one left and was in turn replaced. Him supposedly being a friend of Kane was just a cover up, but the current version was able to eventually defeat him and drive him off.

Vince's stage accident in 2008 was revenge by God for McMahon challenging him 2 years prior.

Mickie James is Road's Dogg's sister, as often competed on the indy circuit as Mickie Armstrong. It was just never important enough to bring up.

Cactus Jack, Dude Love, and Mankind were all real people who Mick Foley attacked and had their identities stolen.

There are in fact several Undertakers, but they only appear after the previous one has been buried alive.

Brock Lesnar was actually Brakkus with plastic surgery. His original name was supposed to be Brak Lesnar.

John Cena's long string of victories and superman run have a sinister origin. He has frequently cloned himself then gotten organ and muscle transplants to make himself stronger. Darren Young was a botched clone whom he decided not to harvest body parts from.

Daniel Bryan's release was intentional. Sam Beckett actually leaped into his body in order to prevent Bryan from eventually going homicidal and killing most of the roster through head kicks.

Edge married Vickie Guerrero so he could stay in America as a legal citizen.

The new ECW was bound to fail as it was cursed, due to its construction upon an Indian burial ground.

The first Kennel from Hell match took place back at a 1988 house show between the Islanders and the British Bulldogs. Ironically that was where Pepper (Al Snow's dog) was conceived.

[thegame415]

Undertaker and Kane were never brothers, just close friends.

[Matt Dunn]

Mankind was originally a gimmick adopted by Dan Spivey in the indies. Mick Foley bought the rights to it in 1994.

There were originally going to have a stable with Foley rotating the Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love gimmicks, with Stevie Richards as Dude Love and Dennis "Mideon" Knight as Mankind. Stevie would play Cactus Jack when Foley was Dude Love and Knight would play Cactus Jack when Foley was Mankind. Bubba Ray Dudley would have later joined as he is a genuine Cactus Jack ripoff.
