A spinoff of the Austin thread, where I mentioned that I was surprised when I found out Steve Austin wasn't his real name.
Here are some others:
Randy Savage
Shawn Michaels
I thought Hulk Hogan's real last name was Hogan
I thought the Rock's real name was Rocky Maivia.

Back when I first got into wrestling I was really interested in the real names, ages, etc.
Nowadays I really don't care and I was surprised when I found out 'Curt Hawkins' and 'Zack Ryder' were fakes names lol.

Up until pretty recently I thought William Regal's real name was Steven Regal.

The "normal"-sounding names... Shawn Michaels, Dustin Rhodes, Steve Austin.

Wade Barrett sounds pretty normal.

As a kid I thought all the wrestlers names were their real names. I also fully believed that The Dudley's were related in real life. Likewise Kane & 'Taker. I was a proper mark as a kid  |

I remember getting into a debate with my youngest uncle about the "real" names of wrestlers. I discovered wrestling sites that had listings of the birth names of wrestlers. My uncle swore that the names used on-screen were real, because he kept on coming at me with the "Terry Hogan" argument and such. He even asked me if I knew the real names of Undertaker and Kane, I respectively said Mark Callaway and Glen Jacobs and he was all, and I quote, "How are they brothers?". When I discovered that, I kind of realized that maybe they were kayfabe brothers, especially since I read how Glen Jacobs portrayed Fake Diesel and Isaac Yankem.

Justin Gabriel. His name actually being "Paul" just struck me as odd, for whatever reason.

The Major Brothers. When I found out, I was like, "What? You mean they weren't really brothers who grew up watching ECW?"

I thought the Rock's real name was Rocky Maivia. His real name was Rocky Melvin. At least that's what "Pro Wrestling for Dummies" told me. |

When Mickie James first appeared in WWE I thought that was a stage name and "Alexis Laree" was her real name.

I didn't know until NXT that Michael Cole is a fake name.
Also, Billy Kidman, it just doesn't sound like a name anyone would make up ever.
