also isn't sandman jewish? I think he said he was when he and raven would talk about the "that" angle and the guys in the back would give them flack about it since neither of them were christian. You're talking about that interview with Sandman in Forever Hardcore? I believe he said that Heyman and Raven got flack when they tried to justify the whole cross thing because they were Jewish, but I don't think he mentioned his own name.

I had no idea Nash was Jewish. I still chuckle at that one skit or joke that made the rounds about Goldberg being the "Hebrew Hammer." Great stuff.

I loved hearing Marc Mero's shoot interview on how everyone thought he was black. And when asked about whether he was black or not, he would say, "I'm not a black man. I'm not a white man. I'M A BADD MAN!!!".
Also, he dad is one of those really stereotypical jews that you hear about, and when he saw Marc come out with all the make up and said, "I'm so pretty, I should have been born a little girl", his dad hangs his head and goes "oi vey". Literally, lol, Marc told this story on the straight shooting video.

OK. Here is the biggest list I can find.

That just seems wacky to me. Same thing I thought. Then I thought of that Family Guy joke "Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This" and imagined Blackman in the role of Jesus, which made it even wackier.

DDP and Dean Malenko are both Jewish, thats a pretty cool little fact both theese guys are some of my favourites growing up.
Only one I thought of was Goldberg because of that skit he did about Haunaka.

Wait, Kevin Nash is Jewish? That seems off. Not sure about Kane either, as "Glenn Jacobs" isn't exactly the most Jewish name.
I knew about Malenko, Horowitz, Goldberg, and Pillman. Never knew Colt was, though. Awesome.

Not sure about Kane either, as "Glenn Jacobs" isn't exactly the most Jewish name. In the golden age of wrestling, the "Jewish Heavyweight Champion of the World" was a guy named Abe Jacobs. Jacobs = Jacob = son of a certain person in a certain book and founded a certain land with a certain name. As for Nash, that was a bit of a surprise a few years ago, but it seems to be legit.

I'm not sure about some on that list. I'd like to know their source. I knew Moondog Spot when he wrestled in Memphis in the old days, and I'd swear he went to a protestant church on occasion.

You have to remember, the term "Jewish" incorporates two separate things: A religion as well as an ethnicity. Not all of those who are of that heritage remain with the religion and not everyone who partakes of the religion was born into it.

hayes was jewish? I didn't know that. I believe that one is in contention. It's generally assumed, as his real last name is Seitz, but to the best of my knowledge, it's not confirmed. Seitz isn't necessarily a Jewish last name. My last name is Sites, originally Seitz before being Americanized, and I'm of German descent. DDP and Dean Malenko are both Jewish, thats a pretty cool little fact both theese guys are some of my favourites growing up. Yeah. DDP even has the Star of David tattooed on his chest. Doesn't Sunny have the Star of David tattooed on her as well?
