A secret identity is where a character develops a separate persona, while keeping their true identity hidden. In e-wrestling, the character also may wear a disguise (ranging from make-up, a wrestling mask, complete costume, even ungroomed hair). In the case of The Boss, the character may silhoutte himself behind darkness with his true identity shadowed.
In Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW), several e-wrestlers have adopted a secret identity to reveal their true self to an adversary in shocking fashion, thus igniting a feud.
