Real names.

By Scott Keith on 3 October 2015


Hey Scott-

Do you feel that, besides Cena and Maybe Orton just because of their popularity. That any wrestlers left with their real names (Sheamus, Cody Rhodes, Mark Henry)have less of a chance of being let go due to the fact that they can use the same names that they became famous under?
Also, does any of the "old" guard (Kane, show, JBL) have any rights to their names. Or if Wcw popped up tomorrow would we see Big Glenn Kanebell and Paul Show ya Wight!

​Sheamus and Cody Rhodes are gimmick names. JBL, however, is his real name. That being said, the use of gimmick names is pretty much the last thing they would worry about when letting someone go. They’ve already got that worked out in the contracts when they sign. ​
