Also, her name was Terri, but they had a Terri. I guess Jacqueline and Miss Jackie would have had some overlap too, right?

The original Kane was horribly burned and scarred from the fire. The current Kane can be a corporate stooge without a mask.

Checks out.

Aren't those rumors around for most masked/face painted wrestlers? I remember people thinking Sting was "played" by different people in different parts of his career as well. People even thought Undertaker wasn't the same as the original one, although that could have been caused by the fake taker.

It is weird how universal that rumor was in grade schools across the country in pre internet days. A couple kids at my school were positive he died of a "steroid overdose" and was replaced by a different guy.

I wonder how exactly that rumor got started?

The rumor got started because this kid I knew had an uncle who worked for the WWF and he was backstage when the Macho Man Randy Savage killed the Ultimate Warrior.

They never explained it to Naylor or Enzo, but Rob Naylor told a story on his twitter about when Enzo Amore got his deal, he was instructed by Bill Demott to come up with a name that did NOT have the initials E A in them. Enzo went home and drafted a list of 24 names that all had them (including Esteban Apples), and the 25th name was Canyon Cemen.

They also told Naylor to not wear v-neck sweaters after he spent a bunch on them when he started appearing on TV because they were worried he'd be confused with David Otunga. Google Rob Naylor, then mentally picture Otunga.

I just watched that and George was on offense for 90% of the match. Not really a squash, more putting over the DDT as instadeath.
