I hated hearing Triple H's real name. I am not sure why but to me it was the most cringeworthy part of RAW. I remember when Batista would be referred to by his real name, Dave, that bothered me too. It is the last piece of real kayfabe, the wrestler's character name. Does this bother anyone else?

Calling Triple H "Paul" does bother me.
Calling Batista "Dave" is okay.
Imo it's okay to call someone with an obvious gimmick name like The Rock, The Miz, Edge, R-Truth or CM Punk by their real names, but it's not okay to call Zack Ryder, Evan Bourne, Alex Riley, Brodus Clay or even guys who go by mononyms such as Sheamus, Christian, or Kane by their real names.

It was always fitting to hear people call Batista by his name - Dave. That makes the character more human and his real last name is Bautista abyways. Same with people calling Miz - Mike. I see no issue there.

I've noticed this a couple of times lately. They focused on his name plate outside his office when Brock trashed it and at the Mania press conference Cole announced him as Paul "Triple H" Levesque. I don't like it either.

There was nothing wrong with "Hunter".

To be fair I thought for years it was Dave Batista, his real name with the ring name version of his last name as his last name in kayfabe. That was fine.
They've been calling Triple H Hunter for years, to go by Paul now is just...odd.

Yeah I find it kind of stupid since they called him Hunter for years. It's like calling Seth Rollins Tyler or Dean Ambrose Jon. With Batista they were calling him by his last name so its ok to throw in Dave. Plus isn't his real name Dave Bautista?

Pretty sure they switched it since HHH is now officially corporate so his real name is on the site as such.

I was waiting for him to say, "Paul? My name is HHH. "

You guys are so blind to it all!
Obviously this is foreshadowing to the pay-off of this angle, and Steph's been having an affair with another Paul....PAUL HEYMAN!

"Paul Levesque" is just the less hoity-toity pseudonym that Hunter Hearst Helmsley uses when he doesn't want to lord his blueblood lineage over the rest of us.

Taking cues from TNA is the last thing they should be doing.

No worse than calling CM Punk "Phil".

No worse than calling CM Punk "Phil". But nobody ever thought that "CM Punk" was his real name so that's fine.

Calling Seth Rollins "Tyler" would be stupid considering Tyler isn't his real name I was to lazy to look up his real name but its stupid to call him by his real name when Seth Rollins sounds like a real name. Daniel Bryan is lucky if someone tries to shoot and call him by his real name or last name.
