They say it’s all in the name.
When Matt Sydal was brought to ECW the second time (1st time he wrestled as Matt Sydal), he was given a name Matt did not like so they told him to come up with one, and so he did with just minutes to spare before his 1st promo, Evan Bourne.
When Colt Cabana was brought up to Smackdown they considered using his real name Scott Colton, but settled on Scotty Goldman because Colton was not “Jewish” enough. Scott Colton is Jewish.
