Since the Benoit tragedy, I can't recall any new wrestlers coming to the roster with the name Chris. Jericho is the only exception since his name is established, but do you think WWE officials put a ban on anyone coming to the roster with the name Chris?

They also retired the name Andre and isn't it odd there's not been a Steve since Austin left? Or it could be because nobody is called Chris. |

No, I think they just like to avoid having two people with the same first name in the company.
Like when they made Shane Helms become "Gregory Helms", so to avoid confusion with Shane McMahon.
Even when Jericho and Benoit were both around, two people being "Chris" confused the hell out of poor Good Ol' J.R.

Masters and Jericho were both in WWE for about a year, weren't they?

WWE's too busy churning out fake millennial names for their new guys to go back to the real ones that normal human beings were called.

I remember back in 2005 we had Chris Benoit, Chris Masters and Chris Jericho along with Christian and Christy Hemme.
Along with three Johns in 2011 including Johnny Curtis!

Shit like "Braden" and "Mason" etc. Stuff that sounds like cornball soap names, or silliness parents from my generation name their hapless children. The other day, I'm in line with my girlfriend at the grocery store, and this mother was calling her kids: "Branston! Benton! Stay with Mommy!" And I just had to shake my head and try not to laugh. SO. HORRIBLE. I just pictured Stephanie there, taking notes. "THIS STUFF IS GOLD. GOLD!"* *She sounds like Kenny Bania in my head. |

(Braden and Mason, that is, rather than the pickle brand and 70s Doctor Who Companion) Granted, WWE has had some less than common names in the past, but overall, I'd say that most of the recent talent have had very realistic names, at least in the last 2/3 years. Unless we count names like Fandango, the most out there name I can think of is... Maybe Titus or Roman? |

I don't think that really stopping them. Heck they had a mania title program with 2 guys named John.

Chris Masters was around before the Benoit tragedy, therefore already having an established name. I'm questioning wrestlers who joined the roster after the Benoit tragedy not being named Chris.

I can't think of any, but it could all just be a coincidence.
