How do wrestlers come up with their names?
When it comes to creating a wrestling persona, coming up with the right name is key. A wrestler's name should be memorable, unique, and appropriate for their gimmick. Many wrestlers take their name from pop culture references, inside jokes, or things that have personal meaning to them. Others simply make up a name that they think sounds tough or cool.
Some wrestlers have multiple names that they use at different points in their career. For example, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin started out as "The Ringmaster" before settling on the name that would make him a household name. John Cena began his career as "The Prototype" before becoming the popular rapper-turned-wrestler that we know today.
No matter what your wrestling name is, it's important to have one that you're comfortable with and that represents you well.
