I'm a little surprised that Brian Kendrick is still using his real name. You've got Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, as well, but both of those men debuted in like 2002, or something, and haven't really been repackaged (they have undergone character changes, but for the most part, their history is recognised as one continuous lineage).
They have added the "The" which characterises Kendrick a bit more, but if he decided to leave the company (like he has before), "Brian Kendrick" is not too far removed from "The Brian Kendrick." Lance Cade also had a similar thing going until he was released. Maybe the connection is that they are Shawn Michaels' boys?
