What is John Wayne's real name? Do any of you grappling fans know what name the wrestler whose real name is John Gutteridge used in the ring? How many of the Beatles were not known by their real names? The obvious answer is Ringo (Richard Starkey) but I am sure I've read somewhere that Paul's real name is John and he was known as Paul so the two Johns were not confused.
