We prefer these names, in many ways.
The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Mankind and Rick Flair; five WWE legends who are world-renowned names… well, for people who are old enough to remember.
Sean Leahy tested the wrestling knowledge of his three-year-old daughter by showing her pictures of these iconic men, also including the likes of Kane, Andre the Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper and more, and received some priceless answers along the way.

Yup, apparently The Texas Rattlesnake is otherwise referred to as Thirsty Man Kick Tummy, while ol’ Dwayne Johnson himself gets the Winky Peanut treatment and poor Rick Flair gets demoted to the grandmother position.
Our own personal favourite is I Don’t Like It, usually known to the rest of us as Kane.
The Big Red Machine might not like it so much though…
