Line 1: {{trope}}Inversions of, and exceptions to, a [[{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include: * [[~~WCW~~World Championship Wrestling]] had a good number of Scotts at one point ([[Scott Hall\|Hall]], [[Scott Steiner\|Steiner]], Norton, Riggs), and then [[Raven (wrestling)\|Raven]]'s mother ([[Kayfabe]]) showed up for a storyline revealing that he too was a Scott.<ref>his real name is Scott Levy</ref> * [[World Wrestling Entertainment\|WWE]] tends to change wrestlers' names to avoid this trope altogether. Among the notable examples: Shane Helms became Gregory Helms (and later The Hurricane) to avoid [[Shane McMahon]], and Steven Regal became William Regal to avoid [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] (which is generally a good idea anyway). At one point in the late 80's the WWF had Jims coming out the ying yang. Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart, Jim Powers, Jim Brunzell, Jimmy Snuka, Jimmy Hart, Hillbilly Jim, Hacksaw Jim Duggan... * Understandable, since "Jim" was an extremely common name for Baby Boomer boys, who would have been in the prime of their wrestling careers at the time.
