12 WWE Superstars You Forgot Debuted Under Different Names
1. The Undertaker
Like Dean Ambrose, fans many fans know that current WWE Champion Bray Wyatt began as the laughable "Husky Harris", but the New Face of Fear wasn't the only dark WWE superstar to undergo a name change. In fact, the old Face of Fear was first referred to as his future storyline brother's name. Confused yet?
Appropriate, considering we're talking about the saga of The Undertaker and Kane.
For years, The Undertaker was the otherworldly like superstarwho struck fear into the hearts of countless WWF superstars, including his own demonic brother Kane. Years before Kane ripped the door off the very first Hell In A Cell, the name "Kane" was actually used as The Undertaker's first name, albeit spelled "Cain".
In November 1990, "Cain The Undertaker" debuted on WWF television, managed by Brother Love. Within weeks, "Cain" was dropped and did not re-emerge for another 7 years, this time spelled "Kane" and in reference to The Undertaker's long lost brother.
Weeks after "Cain" was removed from The Undertaker's name, so was Brother Love as his manager. Brother Love gave way to Paul Bearer, thus completing the classic presentation of the greatest character in WWE history.
