Ring name

A ring name is a name a wrestler uses instead of their real name when they are competing in a wrestling match. Wrestlers use ring names to help make themselves more recognizable to fans, and also as a way to develop a unique character. They often make up a name that's more interesting than their real name, or one that describes how they like to wrestle.
