Guest Risk Report post Posted May 16, 2002 There has been a long rumor that, years ago, Monty "Kip" Sopp-known to the world as Billy Gunn-legally changed his name to "Billy Gunn." Any truth to this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mik at Cornell Report post Posted May 16, 2002 I personally don't know but I wouldn't blame him if he did. I wouldn't want to be known as Monte Sopp either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 16, 2002 Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he did but the way things are going I wouldn't want to be known as Billy Gunn anymore either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 16, 2002 Finding out that Monty Sopp is Billy's real name was about as dissapointing as finding out that Snow isn't Al Snow's real last name. Kind of ruins the illusion when you find out their real names huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted May 16, 2002 All my wrestling-related illusions were ruined when I was 15 when I found out: 1. Hogan's real name was "Terry" and 2. Iron Sheik and Jim Duggan (I think) were arrested for cocaine possession when they were pulled over in the same car. The drug bust was bad enough, but what were the bad guy and good guy doing in the same car? Didn't they hate each other? After that, nothing shocked me.

Kind of ruins the illusion when you find out their real names huh? Al Snow's real name isn't Al Snow? What is it then? I thought all the guys with "real" names except Hogan and Jericho used their real names... I know Benoit and Angle are their real names, right? RIGHT?!

Guest Report post Posted May 17, 2002 Al's real name is Al Sarven......yes Benoit and Angle are there real names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted May 17, 2002 Al's real name is Al Sarven......yes Benoit and Angle are there real names. OK, thanks for clearing that up, just checking. How long has Mr. Sarven been going by the "Al Snow" name? It must have been a while, since I always see sites that use that name freely in biographies, not mentioning the Sarven last name at all. They always love mentioning how he used to be The Avatar though... hmmmm... Also, even though this isn't wrestling related, I was shocked when I found out Bob Dylan's real last name was Zimmerman.

Guest Report post Posted May 17, 2002 I think the first wrestling name he ever was using was Al Snow and that was always his nongimmick name. It is possible he changed his name too though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Mighty Damaramu Report post Posted May 17, 2002 Yeah...and Ultimate Warrior changed his name to Warrior. Seriously? How messed up was he. Do people even take him seriously when he signs for things? "Ok Mr. Warrior....sir this isn't a joke. A bank account is a very serious thing." "By the power vested in the great blue lords about I require it for I am the chosen one and the oWn will own this puny planet!" "Security...." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 17, 2002 Well, if he legally changes his real name to his ring name just like the Warrior, maybe he'll disappear from the WWF suddenly and forever, just like the Warrior. tee hee. That'd probably put a smile on several faces around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 17, 2002 I knew a gut who was called Roman Warrior. He was stopped by the police for a traffic offence once and they thought he was taking the piss until he showed them ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
