12 WWE superstars you didn’t know are using their real names (With Pictures)

10. Harley Race

Some wrestlers like to compete under a fake name in order to appear as masculine and as badass as possible. Harley Race is not one of them.

Harley Race is the kind of name that, at first, seems like it cannot possibly be real. However, records show that Harley Race is indeed the real name of the multi-time NWA Champion and inaugural King of the Ring.

For many fans and wrestlers alike, the name Harley Race inspires a number of emotions, the most powerful of which are respect and fear. The man is one of the most notoriously tough competitors to ever enter the wrestling business, fighting back from multiple injuries to become everything a world champion should be. Not bad for a guy whose middle name is Leland.
