The most common first names in wrestling

By Scott Keith on 10 December 2023


Someone asked what the most common first names in wrestling are, and I'm having a particularly lazy Sunday morning, so I hit up Cagematch to find out. I differentiated informal and formal variations (“Steve” isn't “Steven”), but kept things that are phonetically the same if Howard Finkel is announcing them but are spelled differently (“Stephen” IS “Steven”) lumped together. So…
The top ten most common first names in wrestling history!

Brian/Bryan, 128
John, 128
Jason, 129
Matt, 146
Steve, 151
Tony, 151
Jack, 168
Johnny, 241
Mike, 269
Chris/Kris, 306
Chris!  I should have guessed that one.
