Rolls off the tongue better or it was Vince's idea.

Probably the same reason Batista isn't Bautista. Its easier for people to know how to pronounce right off the bat. I always liked how Eddie would pronounce his Batista's name. |

Well, I was looking at the names of announcers. These are the only ones who use their real names from the current announcers: Jim Ross Jerry Lawler Scott Stanford Ones not using their real names: Michael Cole Josh Matthews Matt Striker So pretty much half of them currently use their real names and the other half are not. Even if you take out Lawler and Striker because they were wrestlers before announcers, still half and half. Now, if Korpela and Grisham were still here, you had a valid point. Now you still have a little bit of a valid point. I'll say the sme thing the other posts said, some change their name because they are in the entertainment business, so they change their names to something appealing to the mainstream audience. That's honestly the only really good explanation. To be fair, Matt Striker was a wrestler before being an announcer. I don't mean to start anything but he did say that in the very post you quoted. Anyway I think he just uses Cole because it's quicker and easier to say like most others have said. |

There was an interview in the Syracuse newspaper (where he went to school) either 2003/2004 where he said WWE thought his real name was too similar to Shawn Michaels.
This doesn't seem right I'm looking for an archived article of this now. But this is what I remember.

It's so wwe can own the rights to everything they do professionally. Simple as that.
