Using their stage names (some of which overlap with their real names), what are some of the most common first names in wrestling? Steve and Jim both come to mind.

There are a decently high number of Adams, but the winner may be "Chris". Sabin, Jericho, Adams, Benoit, etc.

As a Christian I hate it but it can happen

I feel like "Austin" is catching up, for what feels like a very obvious reason. It's probably the most disproportionate even if it will probably never be the most common.

At one point, WCW had a whole lot of Scotts. Armstrong, Hall, Putski, Norton, Steiner and (Scotty) Riggs, plus commentator Scott Hudson and referee Scott Dickinson.

There were at least three people who had the name 'Mr Wrestling', so that was pretty common I think.
