Professional Wrestling Real Names List

On the next few pages you will find one of the most complete and accurate lists of professional wrestlers real names. You will also find:

Past identities

Tag Teams (Tag teams are listed in italics; sometimes however it varies as to how a wrestler is listed as being a member of the tag team. Example: for Hawk I have listed "Road Warrior Hawk" since this is the name he is commonly known as, and it is implied that he was a member of The Road Warriors. However, he is not listed as "Legion of Doom Hawk," instead he is just referenced as being a member of the team. Likewise, Marty Jannetty is not listed as "Rocker Marty Jannetty," rather he is simply noted as being a member of the team The Rockers.)

Stables (Like tag teams, groups of wrestlers, or "stables," are listed in italics. I tried my best to be as accurate as possible (although I am sure I left out a lot of groups over the years). For example, Scott Norton may have been involved in a stable in Japan in 1994 that I am unaware of (if you know that he was, inform me!). Norton is listed as being a member of the New World Order Black & White in this listing, because due to the fact that there were various factions of the NWO, I decided to include the colors of whatever branch a person belonged to, or in the case of the Japanese version, they are simply listed as members of NWO Japan.)

Nicknames (Nicknames are somewhat debatable, so the process for deciding if one was to be included or not came down to this: if a ring announcer says it, it's a nickname; if he doesn't, it's not. Meaning "The Man they call" Vader is a nickname, because he was introduced as such, but "The Texas Rattlesnake" Steve Austin is not one, because he is not announced by that name), and all nicknames are in quotation marks.

Some of the people listed you may have never heard of; which is good, meaning it's a very in-depth list. There are personalities included in this list besides wrestlers: valets, promoters, announcers, mangers, and other on air wrestling related folks are listed. Any readers who have any real names to add to the list, email me and let me know. Michael Eskowitz did 75% of the work for this list, but I have added in a quite a few more pieces along the way, with plenty more to come. I don't claim that this list is 100% accurate, in fact I am sure there are a large number of errors either from typos or plain misinformation. If you have any corrections, send them in and you will be credited with helping on the list.

NOTE: The list is fully uploaded now, HOWEVER, the italics and special markings have not yet been added to tag teams, stables, etc. This should be updated in the next few days!
