17 WWE Superstars Who Mysteriously Lost A Name

Triple H, for better or for worse, is probably talked about more than any other performer in company history, but his origins as a weirdo patrician are rarely discussed. The traces are there, sure; he's still announced as hailing from hoity-toity Greenwich, CT, despite supposedly being an outlaw barbarian or whatever. His finisher is still called the Pedigree, despite his "superior breeding" no longer being a plot point; he probably should have switched it to "the Sledgehammer" back in 2000. And his name is still the inimitably highfalutin Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, at least I think.

He's still "Hunter". Shawn Michaels, the McMahons and his Evolution buddies call him that, but when was the last time anyone uttered "Helmey" on WWE TV? When Edge and Christian were having their storied faction/regime debate? "Triple H" was originally a reference to Arn Anderson's "Double A", since Hunter was HBK's enforcer in D-Generation X. How weird would it be if Arn Anderson were a multiple-time world champion and long-term authority figure, and everyone just called him Double A like they were drinking buddies or whatever?
