In the wacky world of pro wrestling, the same rules apply as those found in other entertainment mediums, such as the music industry. All these years on, many people are still confused as to how bands decided on names such as Pink Floyd, Hoobastank and Limp Bizkit, and more confusingly, were successful with such monikers.
