It has been reported that WWE will be dropping the 'Rey' from former World Champion Rey Mysterio's ring name. This is to avoid any possible offense caused to Australian viewers after legendary Croc' Hunter Steve Irwin was killed by a Stingray while filming an underwater documentary in Queensland.

This will not be the first time WWE have acted quickly to avoid public outcry. The Muhammad Hassan character was removed from WWE TV immediately following the terror attacks in London last year.

Rey Mysterio was said to be upset at the idea of dropping part of his name, after he had already dropped the Jr. from his name at the start of his WWE tenure.

WWE management believes that Mysterio's marketability will not be adversely affected by the change, and lists Lashley and Finlay as examples of superstars growing in popularity after dropping their first names.

Wow. So does this mean that if a celebrity is killed by a road flare that we'll get to see "The Nature Boy" Ric?

Sounds kinda dumb really... Hopefully it's a load of crap. But this is WWE... Vince would probably change his own if it was going to offend someone.

It is now being reported that the true reason for Rey Mysterio's name change is that he will in fact be playing Mysterio in the next Spider-Man movie, due out around 2010. Mysterio will immediately be put into a stable with other workers who will be gimmicked to resemble popular movie characters, including Paul Burchill as Jack Sparrow, Viscera as the Blob, and Shannon Moore as the shemale from Transamerica. More on this story as it develops.
