I mean it would make sense if you take a look at a few of the previous examples of guys who jumped ship.

Elijiah Burke--> Deangelo Dinero
Mr. Kennedy--> Mr. Anderson
Victoria--> Tara

Granted I think Henning's current WWE name is fucking stupid, I can see the reason for not calling him Joe Henning. Same goes for why they don't call Husky Harris by his Rotunda given name.
Errrrrrrrr, Elijah Burke IS his real name. No idea why he changed it to a stage name after getting exposure under his real name with WWE.

That's the name I gave him when I booked him as part of Armchair Warfare. Playing off the "Average Joe"/Mr Perfect thing.

Also, it's unbelievable how many people have spelled it "Henning" despite the misspelling being mention in this very thread.
