No, not that one. Anyone else ever come across someone with the same name as a wrestler, especially one with a name you wouldn't expect to see duplicated.

To be fair, that's not the wrestler's real name.
It's Robert Rechsteiner. "Rechsteiner" kinda sounds like "Rick Steiner," so that's what he went with.

Didn't he run for office or something under his wrestling name though? Also, I think his real estate license is under 'Rick Steiner' as well.

I once waited on a man named Steven Richards. But more eerie is the fact that when my doctor was going to send me to a chiropractor that man's name was Dr. Christopher Benoit!

There is some law that you can run for office under the name the public is most familiar with. Which is why my former governor was Jesse Ventura, and not James Janos.
Also, I lived in the dorms at college with a kid named Andrew Martin. We called him "Pop Quiz."

Actually, now that I think about it, when I was working at Qdoba Mexican Grill, an Indian man paid for his order with a credit card, and his first name was Kimala.

The closest was some guy named Shawn McMahon. If the parents would have named him Shane, I would have kind of chuckled.

The closet is James Terry Taylor. He didn't understand why I would always call him a rooster when I ran into him. Needless, to say he wasn't a fan.

That reminds me, another kid at my school (i think his name was James Jennings or something) and I used to call him "Double J". Not as bad as Rooster, but still obscure.

There was a kid in my elementary school named Dustin Rhodes.
That's when he was pretty big as "The Natural" in WCW, so I marked out whenever I heard his name at school.

Off topic... when I was working in a video store, there was a new customer with the last name Rechsteiner. He was surprised when I pronounced it without asking. He was also a little surprised when I mentioned Rick Steiner... he had heard of the wrestler before but didn't know about his real name.
