For many of us Christmas is a time of celebration where we can have nice time with our families and indulge in mass consumerism.
However not everybody is so lucky, some wrestlers have gone through life with just one name which means they're forever cursed to have difficulty with a wide variety of situations such as filling in forms and making restaurant reservations.
You may not think this is a serious issue but if effects their wrestling careers. In WWE only seven one-named wrestlers have won the WWE title, if you remove wrestlers that were often known by longer names (Mankind/Mick Foley, Diesel/Kevin Nash and Batista/Dave Batista) you are left with the shocking statistic that less than 10% of WWE champions have had one name. To put it in perspective there have been more WWE champions with the word "The" in their names than champions that go by a one word moniker, it's therefore no coincidence that The Miz has been WWE champion but Ryback has not.
This discrimination continues throughout WWE, every recent call-up from NXT has had multiple names, amongst the divas Summer Rae and even Eva Marie have made it to the main roster while the likes of Paige, Emma and Bayley remain on NXT and it's clearly taking a toll on their mental health (probably because nobody knows what will happen to their names if they ever get married).
So please donate another name to a wrestler this Christmas and post their new monikers below.
