For legal and trademark reasons, a couple of stars who had full names became known by a single name. For instance, Austin Theory just became Theory…which sounds like he should have a professor gimmick and explain the crowd how he has figured out the equation to defeat his next opponent. Others had their names changed entirely once they came up from the NXT system and still ended up with a single name. Let’s look at some of the old-school…
