So, I thought this was a thought provoking topic, figured we could all weigh in on it.
Vince McMahon snowballs a lot of workers into giving up the rights to their gimmicks/gimmick names so they can work for him. Some have fought back by changing their actual name to their kayfabe name (Warrior and Chyna come to mind). Some people have gone on to have some really silly new names or have been forced to work under their real names, which no casual fan would recognize (PJ Polaco anyone?)
So, my question is, would you change your name to your gimmick name to be able to legally use it in other federations?
(The whole thing that prompted this, was I was thinking "Why didn't he just change his name to "Justin Credible"?)
