Nature Boy: Flair emulated from Buddy Rogers.
Kinda wish commentators woulda brought that up more frequently when Flair was a heel. "Oh he calls himself the Nature Boy, but we all know Buddy Rogers is the true Nature Boy!"

Two that come to mind, involve the same man. You have Dick The Bruiser and Bruiser Brody. And then when Brody had to lose the Bruiser name in the AWA, he shared a name with another, in King Kong.
Also for teams, you'd have The Hollywood Blonds. Austin and Pillman are definitely the most famous to use the name, but there were multiple Hollywood Blond teams before them.

this also made me remember another "The Rock" - Don Muraco used this nickname when he turned face in late 1987. |

Not nicknames...but I always found it weird when two wrestlers used the exact same name....Dan Kroffat...LaFon went by the name Dan Kroffat in Canada...which was odd...since there was still an active wrestler named Dan Kroffat.
