Because stage names are made to roll off the tongue. And like comic books, you want the names to be snappy and easily remembered by the kid audience.

Bednar and Landeskog sound like literal Marvel bad guy alien names. Imagine Ranthorax vs Goramlar at wrestlemania

I love how American commentators pronounce Landeskog. The Swedish pronunciation is gay as fuck.

I think Landeskog means something like land-forest' in Swedish. Not so alien if you know a bit of European languages
