It might have to do with a copyright issue. I don't know for sure if the WWE guys are in the screen actors guild, but usually you have to be if you're on television. If they are, it's possible that someone in the union already copyrighted Kenny Doane. Even if it's your given name, if someone else has already registered it, you have to pick another.
Another thing I thought was that if WWE were to let him wrestle as his real name, he could one day go to TNA using his real name and sort of capitalize on that "name" that WWE worked so hard to prop up.
Now, with copyrighting a different name and having him wrestle as that, he could go to TNA using his real name and it wouldn't have the same impact because it's not the name he wrestled in WWE with.
I missed the 1st hour, but liked a lot of the next 2 hours. Well, at least the matches for the next 2 hours.
The skits I can still do without. I would prefer more of a Gangsta's vibe from Cryme Tyme, not these homogenized, white bread skits that couldn't make it in the last half hour of SNL.
I enjoyed the DX beatdown to end the show, but they could have at least shown Cena backstage still fighting Umaga to explain why he was not making the save. I always love the silent ending, it really builds the drama not hearing JR yammering on and on to end the show.
Dean! Have you been shooting dope into your scrotum? You can tell me! I'm hip!
I don't think the issue is giving him a 'new' last name...I'm all for wrestlers having better sounding ring names...the last few years have had too many guys with uninspiring normal names, no nicknames or anything. The problem is that having it rhyme with a well-known former MLB All-Star's name.
As someone already said, what does become of Johnny Jeter? Let's call him J-Rod...

They're saving that one for if/when they ever sign Bob Sapp.
What a treat we got to see Triple H and HBK heads erupt like a volcano. What did Triple H do to get this done him? I'm guessing his wife is still booking the show?
Too bad Chris Masters already has an assigned last name. So, speaking of him, is this whole "wellness" thing over with? Because The Masterpiece seems to have gained back 50 pounds of muscle really fast, and I haven't heard word one about any upcoming piss tests...
I wish I could respect the law. I can't. The law is a whore who demands payment up front, and then attempts to evade providing the service paid for.

I noticed that too last week and this week....he either actually started hitting a gym or some kind of juice again.
Agree with wondering about upcoming testing of superstars of the "wellness" program.
You're allowed to have whatever in your system as long as you have a prescription for it. Like, if anyone gets a doctor to sign something saying their patent needs steroids for a medical need - rehab for injuries, maybe - it's okay for those to show up in a test. You can't go to multiple doctors to get the same drug multiple times, and you can't have more in the system than the doctor's approved, but if you find one doctor who gives you the right amount...

While this is surely true, someone (I think PWInsider) said earlier this year that wrestlers were complaining that the testing doctor is a pain the in the ass about prescriptions because he checks into them, tries to find out why they have them, etc., to see if there's a valid reason for a guy to have what he's prescribed.
Yes, it should be killed, but it's too late now. They're going to have to see this through its unfortunate end. This is why I thank God for the remote control.
