In wrestling fans can often wonder whether or not wrestlers are using their real names or if it is something that they have made up specifically for wrestling. Maxwell Jacob Freidman is one that most people consider to be real, but the fact is that isn't the case, as the Jacob part isn't his real name at all.

While the other two aspects of his name are accurate, his middle name is actually Tyler, which would have created MTF. It is not known exactly why he made that switch, but it could easily have been something different had he stuck with his birth name.
