Deciding on a name as a wrestler can be a difficult experience, its important to get it right otherwise you might spend your career with a name like Test or Bastion Booger. Some wrestlers are blessed with great wrestling names from birth like Richard Fliehr, while sometimes all it takes is a loved one to tell you to drink your tea before it goes stone cold. Christian (real name Jay Reso) looked to Hollywood for his wrestling name, as opposed to Edge who went with by the genius Sexton Hardcastle to begin with. Taking inspiration from two of the biggest stars of the nineties, the future Captain Charisma found his name. The Christian part of the name comes from Christian Slater, star of True Romance, Interview With The Vampire and Robin Hood: Price of Thieves. The Cage part of his full ring-name comes from beloved oddball Nicolas Cage, who hadnt quite descended into madness by the mid-to-late nineties.
