Cactus Jack is one of Mick's alter egos, not a name change.
Same with Stardust.
Mankind and Dude Love
Actually he only wrestled as cactus jack before wwe it was once he signed to wwe that it became a alter ego
Well Foley used Cactus Jack in WCW and than came to WWE used all 3 of his egos

I thought Triple H came in as Hunter Hearst Helmsley. His real name is Paul Levesque.
triple h used to be hunter hearst helmsley
but when he joined dx it was shortened to triple h
Paul came in as Jean Paul Levesque and then as Hunter Hearst Helmsley and simply HHH.
He was Terra Ryzing before Hunter or HHH
@@crazychristopherfromzoukon101 He was NEVER Jean Paul Levesque in WWE. He was Terra Ryzing and Jean Paul Levesque in WCW.
His name was also called Terra rizing when he first debuted in WCW
Isn't Cody Rhodes just Cody Rhodes before he becomes Stardust and leaves to AEW in which he uses Cody Rhodes again until now?
Yeah true.
And Chad Gable was just Chad Gable before being given the humiliating name of Shorty G and then reverting back to his original ring name.
True
Didn't he also go by Dustin Rhodes at some point?
@@johnanderson9765
No. Dustin's his brother.
leakee wouldve been so fearsome, opponents couldnt help but leak
Just a small correction. It was Tyler Black, not Tayler Black to Seth Rollins.
I Noticed that too for sure
Loved his work as Tyler Black, came to say this too.
@@zerokombatant3310 in my opinion he should’ve stayed Tyler Black
Lies again? Remember The Name USD SGD
Yeah,I like it too@@muddyboyyPee
I remember when The Edge wrestled in WCW for a couple years as "Sexton Tardcastle". Then he went to WWF as "Sexton Tardcastle" for a few more years before they changed him to The Edge. The character was someone who lived life on "The Edge" and thats the reason for the name.
bruh, his name never will and never was "The Edge" its always been just "Edge"
@@downsinceday1ishfr
@@downsinceday1ish doesn’t mean that that’s not the reason behind the name change and why the name was changed to that specifically
This is completely wrong
@@zachall101 thats not what i said
When you just can't believe Sexton Hardcastle main evented WM with the Undertaker and also was one of the guys who was offered to break the streak.
He was Cody Rhodes before stardust.
Lmao yes
"Sexton Hardcastle"
I'm dying from laughter
John Cena -The prototype
Cain The undertaker ❤️🔥🔥
it's kane "the undertaker"
@@boltgaming248 1988-89 The Undertaker Gimmick Name is ''Cain The Undertaker''1990 He was changed His name To ''The undertaker'' After 8Year 1998 New Wrestler Come to WWF..His name is ''Kane'' That is Magic of Time.....😛
@@asinthamassimo7387But if you follow the story lines, that means that Undertaker 's parents named both he and his brother "Kane".
@@dhenderson1810 Yes..Yes...You Correct...his Time line was he introduceed The undertaker 🔥
I was kind of confused when Kane and the Undertaker became two different people.
-kane-
*big red machine*
The devil’s favorite son
#demon
My favorite wrestler of all time? Ashley Massaro!❤🤘🏻
Nice!
RIP
Foley should of been on there at least two more times😂😂😂
Leakee and Low Ki would have made a champion tag-team in the WWE consisting of a power guy (Leakee) and a high flyer (Low Ki).
Low Ki Leakee would not have been the best sounding names to match up. though. No one would wantto wrestle a team that is Low Key Leaky... 😂
Batista - The Leviathan
Dustin Rhodes - Gold dust
He was also Black Rain in WCW.
Baron Corbin - Happy Corbin
Bray Wyatt - Husky Harris
Erick Rowan - Erick Redbeard
Jack Swagger - Jake Hager
Rusev - Miro
Luke Harper - Brodie Lee

Big E. Langston - Big E
Rocky Johnson - The Rock
Cesaro - Braulio Castagnoli
Big Show - Paul Wight
Neville - Pac
Christian - Christian Cage
Ruby Ryott - Ruby Soho
Ember Moon - Athena
Goldust - Dustin Rhodes
You should have gone further back with Taker, when he was Master of Pain! I've seen an old match between him and Jerry Lawler (in Memphis I think?) and his promo work at the time was wobbly to say the least!
Also Mean Mark Callus in WCW
Jon Moxley to Dean Ambrose to Jon Moxley
Cody Rhodes to Stardust to Cody Rhodes
Yo you did R Truth so dirty 😂😂😂
Sexton Hardcastle.
Really, Edge? 😂
Nice ❤but now some wrestler are not in wwe 😢
Is that the best pic of R Truth you could find 😆
Thats not even R-Truth, its a picture of Pretty Ricky.
@@mikeawesome9212 lol
Drew Galloway photo looks like Brian Kendrick 😂
So this Tribal Chief used to be called, 'Leakee'? That's weird
I’m Curious how he went from Leakee to Roman
Cain the Undertaker makes me laugh..
THAT'S GOTTA BE CAIN!!!
It’s Tyler Black not Tayler Black
Punishment Martinez → Damian Priest
Leakee is now the wwe undisputed champ
Johny Nitro -> John Morisson
Kevin Nash -> Diesel
Jamal -> Umaga
Big Daddy V -> Viscerra
Bradshaw -> John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL)
When Viscera started in wwf he was Mable and then King Mable after he won King of the Ring
You forgot Mabel too
Scotty Riggs / Riggs
Scotty the Body/Scotty Flamingo/ Raven
Huskey harris- bray wyatt- the fiend
How have you not used Max Dupree for LA Knight!
Also, Mick Foley is a stretch.
Well Eli Drake was better and it was first so he just used the one that came after which was LA Knight in NXT
Imagine going from Sex-ton Hard-castle to Edge 💀
Imagine going from Edge to plain Adam Copeland(It might be his real name but still.That says how stupid T.K. & AEW are
Funny thing is, some of the original names are their real names. Somebody told them to change them.
Sure
Wrestlers using their real names can be tough in the WWE because that means the company will own the rights to your actual identity. Cena has talked about this before. He's fine with it but many people aren't which is why so many wrestlers use ring names, even if they're just slightly different variations of their real name.
I love that you found the most deranged picture of R-Truth possible for that
Wrestler and ther birthday 💗👀
Adding on
*The protoype to john cena* got me laughing
More gimmick names just mean more money more merch for more royalties.
There was a middle step missing in Triple H. Triple H is just a shortening of his first WWE name of Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
I'm surprised Rocky Miavia wasn't listed as an old identity of The Rock.
Well WWE but not all of the ones he used started in WWE
Like Hogans old name but yes a misstep in the fact that HHH was first Terra Ryzinger than Jean Paul Levesque and than Hunter Hurst Hemsley and than Triple H
Wasnt it though
Terry boulder body hair looked hilarious!
Eli Drake is still a way better name
Triple H was called Hunter Hearst Hemsley when he debuted he didn't used his real name that time
He was called Jean-Paul Levesque in WCW (1994), he was only there about a year and then joined WWE(F) in 1995 under the name Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
Also his real name isn’t Jean-Paul Levesque. It’s just Paul Levesque.
@@jk844100 But he was also called Terra Ryzing when he debuted in WCW
@@JahinAlam he was called Terra Ryzing in IWF. Then moved to WCW where he was repackaged as Jean-Paul Levesque. And then moved to WWF where he debuted as Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
You forgot Leviathan, Batista.
From the ringmaster too the texas rattlesnake stone cold steve austin and Rocky maiva to the Rock missed them.
Vince Mcmahon and Mr Mcmahon LOL not a joke, his wrestling name was always (56times) Vince McMahon but in his last match last year at mania was Mr Mcmahon
Before becoming Kane, he actually was Diesel for a little bit as WWF owned the rights to the character when Kevin Nash went to WCW
Roman Reigns 🔥
stardust and goldust . yea that makes sense
Faltaron
Sasha banks/Mercedes mone
Reina gonzales/Raquel Rodriguez
Io shirai/Iyo Sky
Nikki glencross/nikki cross
Tamina snuka/tamina
I remember Kane used to be Ryan Kane
Tito Santana/El Matador. Tugboat/Typhoon. Earthquake/Golga. One Man Gang/Akeem. The Iron Sheik/Col Mustafa. Papa Shango/Godfather.
Jean Paul Levesque was his name in WcW. When he came to WWE, it changed to Hunter Hurst Helmsley...which was shortened to Triple H and he is called that to this day..
You forgot these:
Stunning Steve Austin = The Ringmaster = Stone Cold Steve Austin
Jr. Fatu = The Sultan = Rikishi Phatu
Papa Shango = Kama = The Godfather = The Goodfather
The Narcissist = Lex Luger = The Total Package
1-2-3 Kid = Syxx = X-Pac
Vennie Vegas = Diesel = Kevin Nash
The Diamond Studd = Razor Ramon = Scott Hall
Billy Gunn = Mr. Assman = Kip James
Road Dogg Jesse James = BG James
Prince Albert = A-Train = Lord Tensai
Leviathan = Dave Batista
Rocky Maivia = The Rock
Lord Steven Regal = William Regal
Seven = Goldust
Percy Pringle = Paul Bearer
Blue Blazer = Owen Hart
Johnny Blaze = Johnny Nitro = John Morrison
Meng = Haku
Val Venis = The Big Valbowski
Bradshaw = JBL
Ron Simmons = Faarooq
Kerwin White = Chavo Guerrero
The Prototype = Juan Cena = John Cena
Big Bubba Roger = Big Boss Man
El Gigante = Giant Gonzales
For Nash you forgot OZ
Also for Albert Sweet T
For Batista forgot Decan Batista when he was with Brother Devon
Also for Goldust Dustin Rhodes before both of those and I though Goldust was also before Seven
For Morrison also Hennigan, Impact, Mundo, Elite the thousand of name changes he has had in his career
Look at asuka's growth...i mean career....iykyk💀
awesome face expression for R-Truth😂😂
Bro his real name was Shorty G
Kane looks like a guest chef helper on Kitchen Nightmares
Many forgot that Bray Wyatt once was called Husky Harris when he made the main roster with Nexus
Bro you did R-Truth dirty
Sexton Hardcastle 😭
Festus / Luke Gallows
Fetus.
Kane - Festus - Luke Gallows.
I had no idea Cody Rhodes and Stardust were the same person 😂
Prototype went on to sing ‘Butterfly’. #Come my lady, come come my lady…#
Chad Gable became shorty gable by king Corbin then shorty g by the Miz then again transferred to Chad Gable.
Amazing!
What I don't understand is how some WWE wrestlers get to keep their own name or not having to change it to something else...because WWE is a very strict trademark company...like John Cena, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle, for example. I'm pretty sure Vince wanted to rename them but how did they manage to say no and keep their own names?
Rey is the only one I'm not sure about, but Jericho and Angle were already really famous before coming in to WWE (Jericho was big on WCW and Angle was an Olympic gold medalist). As for Cena, Vince owns his real name. Yeah.
@@igorviccenzo7105 is see... wow it's unbelievable how someone else can own your own birth name...so Vince makes money from movies John Cena is in?
Legend ROH El Generico
Amezing.❤❤❤
You missed Tugboat which became Typhoon, You missed The Sheepherders which became The Bushwhackers and You missed The Booty Man which became Brutus the Barber Beefcake then became Hollywood Hogan's personal nWo bodyguard...
you mean ed boulder > dizzy hogan > brutus beefcake > brutus "the barber" beefcake > the zodiac > the bootyman > the disciple
Edge has two nickname he changed!
1. Damon Striker
2. Sexton Hardcastle
3. Current name was Edge
Adam Impact as well
In Japan as "Adam" with "Jay" (Christian)
Adam Copeland
If you did one on Brutus Beefcake’s name changes the video would be an hour long.
Very true
@@regisvaughan4629 Mick Foley also had a whole lot. Not just Cactus Jack, but also Mankind and Dude Love.
That SEXton HARDcastle guy looks promising talent i think he can get over with Rated R Gimmick
Seth was Tyler Black not Taylor
Also could have used Texas red and mean mark Callaway if we're going from gimmick changes like Isaac yankem to Kane
I mentioned Texas Red too :)
Caucus Jack -dude love
Bro really became the prototype 😮
R Truth just keeping it real...
Titan-Braun Strowman
Samuel shaw-Dexter Lumis
Doudrop-Piper Niven
Brodus Clay-Tyrus
Tyrus
I'm gonna have nightmares with that R-Truth picture 😱
Cody should bring back Stardust. I said it, sue me
No he shouldn’t that shit was ass and a mockery
Wasnt Cactus Jack the three faces of Foley?
Along with Mankind and Dude Love. In other words, you are correct.
data channels are superb and gud hardwork
I think it’s quite the missed opportunity to not sneak Mick Foley in there a couple more times😂
The undertaker vs Yoko zuna was so good
Luke Gallows as Festus,
Mideon as Naked Mideon,
Iron Sheik as Colonel Mustafa,
Raven as Johnny Polo,
Marc Mero as Johnny B Badd,
Tugboat - Typhoon - Shockmaster
Viper - Piper Niven - Doudrop - Piper Niven,
Lita as Godfathers Ho,

Mustafa Ali used to be Prince Mustafa Ali? I had no idea. Major gimmick change!
Dean Ambrose’s real name is Jon Moxley
No his real name is Jonathan Goods
HIS real name is Jonathan Goods I spent over 27 years working Security for Wrestling events

It's really Jonathan Good. Jon Moxley was his name in the indies and AEW.
