Jeff went as Keith Davis for his WWF debut against Razor Ramon because the original jobber, whose name actually WAS Keith Davis, no-showed, and they couldn't be bothered to make the scrawny teenage kid with the bleached blond curtains his own correct title card.

16:47 Fatu is the last name of half the Anoa’i family, including Rikishi, Umaga, the Usos, Solo, Jacob etc. The Tongans, Tama and Loa, AREN’T RELATED TO THEM and are Tongan

[@ds5955]

Fatu is also the name rikishi used in the headshrinkers

[@yung_ickle5694]

Yeah but Rikishi was the only one with the gimmick "Make A Difference Fatu", before he was the Sultan. Every other Fatu has either had a different kayfabe last name (Reigns, Uso, Maivia, etc.) or has been a mononym (Afa, Sika, Umaga, The Rock). Fatu is their real name and only Jacob and Big Kishi have represented that name on the WWE tv shows

[@yung_ickle5694]

And the Tongans are related through a blood oath between Haku and the Fatu family. If you ask the Usos they will call him an Uncle. The Tongans are family, you just don't know what that type of family looks like

I can see why Finn would drop the "Fergal" part of that name and went strictly by "Prince Devitt" during that time lol

[@caribbeanian2523]

Nice PFP

[@TheForeverRanger]

If you know folklore, Finn Balor is a play on the name Finnvara the King of the Dead in Irish folklore so he went from being a Prince to a King.

[@vestallies]

He actually didn't choose to drop the "Fergal", which is his real name. New Japan forced him to change it because Japanese people had difficulty pronouncing it.

[@jk844100]

@@vestallies if that was the case they would have changed his last name too since they also can’t say “Devitt” since it has a “V” sound (which doesn’t exist in Japanese) and it ends in a consonant (which Japanese doesn’t do except for “N”). The closes they’d probably get is something like デヴィット (Debuitto)

[@rockysolmon1]

Edge was Sexton Hardcastle when he first started wrestling in Canada and actually tag teamed with Christian Cage even back then. The reason I can think of that they changed his name to Edge is because of naming rights.

[@TheForeverRanger]

I had no idea until recently that Christian wrestled as Christian Cage before WWE as I thought it was a way for TNA to get around WWE's trademark.

Or that even though it was not exactly PG era they might not have wanted a name with word SEX AND HARD on their merch

you done "simultaneous sweep city" on the old channel with the first video with "guess the wrestler by the mask" and in the wager round you both went all in without discussing previously about it. Don't remember if there was any other video where both took the bus to the city

[@Walshy94]

Just a little Irish lesson for yous with the Galldubh for Sheamus. The BH at the end of a word in the Irish language gives off a V sound. Put the BH at the start of a word and it's a W. It's a complicated language we have here😂

Boris Zukoff is NOT Santino Marella. He's the Iron Sheik's legendary tag team partner. Santino went by Boris *Alexiev*. And yes, a former UK Prime Minister *is* named Boris. Boris Johnson, to be exact.

[@DC90]

Boris Zhukov was Nikolai Volkoffs tag team partner, not Shiekys.

[@vestallies]

Santino went by Boris Kolov before changing it to Alexiev, with Kolov being the last name of his trainer. Boris Zhukov never teamed with Iron Sheik, you're thinking of Nikolai Volkoff, who held the WWF Tag Tag Team Championships with Sheik. Nikolai Volkoff later teamed with Boris Zhukov as The Bolsheviks, though they never held any titles. Also, neither Volkoff or Zhukov are Russian. Volkoff is from Croatia (which was in the USSR when he started the character), whereas Zhukov is from... Virginia.
