Did anyone else think this is how Roman Reigns' old name was pronounced? It wasn't until I heard the Punk podcast that I discovered it was Lay-Ack-E. What other names have you misspronounced? I also used to think Triple H's real last name was pronounced Lev-Isk.

I thought this is would be about Big E and his sweat problem

Pretty much. It was WWE's issue with naming people. Originally he was Roman Leakee, and it seemed to be based on his real name Leatee. Which I'm guessing is pronounced like Leakee was supposed to be. But yeah, good thing they dropped that.

I thought it was pronounced "Leak" and the E was silent It was pronounced "Lay-Ah-Kee" It was sort of his catchphrase too

I'd love to hear William Regal's interpretation

I also used to think Triple H's real last name was pronounced Lev-Isk. I think it was more that everyone was HOPING it was pronounced that way, because it's a much easier name to mock. And therefore, people will still pronounce it that way.

To be fair, I could've sworn there was a point in time where announcers in WCW referred to Triple H as Jean-Paul "Leav-eh-skew".... so I just took that and ran with it for years. So when someone call shim "Leav-eck".... I'm reminded of my blunder.

I thought it was Leaky until I heard someone say it. I think it was in an FCW match?
I will say though, until the "Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque" promo, I thought it was "Le-vess-queue"

"Leaky" is a name that is begging for a corny John Cena promo.

When Luna debuted at Wrestlemania 9, I thought her name was "Loon of a Shawn".

I knew that Leakee Pronounce "lay-ah-kee" since that's pretty close to his actual name "Leati".

Same here. When me and my friends find out how it was pronounced last year from a NXT episode I watched, we just said screw it kept calling Reigns that when he comes on TV. (None of my friends like Reigns)

I was expecting this thread was going to be about if Big E and Roman Reigns fused into one and before looking who it was I assuming it was done by a smark who probably only refers to wrestlers he doesn't like by their old developmental/indie names or their real names

Yep, I had no clue until I watched his match against Ricardo from FCW. Thought it was Leaky too. Haha.

At least if he was Leaky, that would explain how he's always wet.
