12 WWE Superstars You Forgot Debuted Under Different Names
6. The Headbangers
The Headbangers recently returned to WWE as part of SmackDown Live!'s tag team division, introducing a whole new generation of fans to Mosh and Thrasher. But the Headbangers first debuted back in 1997, and quickly captured the WWF Tag Team Championships.
As many teams often do, Mosh and Thrasher soon went their separate ways before ultimately reforming the team at several points down the road. Fans may remember Mosh's bust singles career as Beaver Cleavege, and later Chaz, but fewer remember the original name the duo competed under before becoming two skirt-and-bra-wearing Marilyn Manson fans.
Managed by Brother Love, Sister Angelica (Thrasher) and Mother Smucker (Mosh) competed as "The Flying Nuns" and first appeared on the premier episode of Shotgun Saturday Night in January '97. After a victory over the Godwins, which Brother Love helped earn, the red-faced televangelist re-named them "The Sisters Of Love".
Vignettes were shot at New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral, but the Sisters Of Love were soon martyred when the Headbangers made their debut.
They did, however, continue to wrestle in skirts.
