AxB Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I thought the most overused Christian name in Wrestling was Shane? Since you've got all the guys using it as a last name as well. If someone says Eddie is an overused name, does Eddie Edwards count as one usage or two? Or zero, because it's his real name? 7 hours ago, sydneybrown said: "The." "The" has nothing on "El".

Zakk_Sabbath Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'd think Scott/Scotty has to be up there. Hall, Norton, Armstrong, Steiner, The Body, Taylor/Too Hotty, Riggs, Dawson and many more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Guy Named Tracy Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 7 hours ago, caley said: At one point in ROH, it was definitely 'Jay'. They had Jay Lethal, Briscoe, Diesel (They tried to cover that by saying it was "J.Diesel" but, come on, everyone at home knew it was 'Jay'!). But I can't really think of any other Jays. Then they brought in Jay White. ROH realized that three Jay's is the limit, so they changed J Diesel's name to Joey "Diesel" Daddiego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 is it a given that all wrestlers take part in the cult of crossfit these days? Every gym shot I see on instagram seems to be in a garage somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gym isn't CrossFit but has a secondary space that's just a big garage with a bunch of equipment thrown in. It's kind of like how every restaurant went "industrial" not long ago - it's a trend that looks hip and is cheap, because you can just pass off exposed wiring/plumbing and unfinished walls and doors as part of the aesthetic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I know J.Diesel is a catchy name, but we're thiking instead "Joey "Diesel" Daddiego"! Doesn't that just roll off the tongue? No? Well too bad, we have way too many 'Jays'." Also, while looking up Daddiego, I came across ANOTHER Matt: Matt Sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 so from reading this I have deduced that the perfect wrestler name would be El Christopher "The Jay" Matthews. Any workers are free to use this on their way to obvious wrestling stardom and immortality. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. And also, Crossfit--or Crossfit like--gyms are some of the most reliable places to find free weights, and the right equipment/space to do powerlifting/Olympic lifts. Most also allow you to pay significantly less money if you just want to show up and lift, rather than partake in the classes. For self-motivated fitness devotees, that's a pretty good setup.

Spritenaut 32 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I just assumed every indy wrestler currently out there secretly wants to be Seth Rollins. Also, the answer to the most used wrestler name is obviously "El Hijo de,,,,," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Jay Strongbow. Speaking of what's the most. If you could go back in history and count up the times it was said, which would be more- Announcer says "Wait a minute!" or Wrestler says "let me tell you something". Those two phrases seems to cross every period of wrestling and every company that ever existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
