Fans have been familiar with the name Mike Santana for a couple decades and also know him as just his last name. On a recent episode of Busted Open After Dark, the former TNA World Champion explained the story behind his new name. Mike Santana was in honor of his grandmother, who saved his life and also introduced him to wrestling. One of the characters, Cruz, is someone that he relates to in his own life as the character battled addiction. Montana means mountain and one thing that my daughter would always tell me is 'Papi, you move mountains for what you want.'
