Not a Welcome to Wrexham fan?! Rob McElhenney’s name butchered on game show despite Ryan Reynolds explainer – leading Red Dragons co-owner to make birth certificate joke

WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS LANGUAGE THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND OFFENSIVE

As a birthday ‘gift’ for co-chairman McElhenney in April 2023, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds – with the help of some Hollywood song writers – produced a music video explaining how to pronounce the name of his fellow Red Dragons investor.

A number of famous faces were drafted in to help with that project – including McElhenney’s wife Kaitlin Olson – and it has figured in the award-winning documentary series that lifts the lid on a special sporting project in North Wales.

There are clearly some in the United Kingdom that are not aboard the Wrexham bandwagon, with one game show player making a hash of trying to say “McElhenney” – leading the man himself to post on social media: “Rob McElenineOrWhateverHisNameisRyanReynolds is on my birth certificate, so technically she’s correct.”

Reynolds and McElhenney will continue to spread the word of Wrexham far and wide – after overseeing back-to-back promotions in North Wales – and are currently in the process of piecing together more transfer plans with Phil Parkinson ahead of a collective step up into League One.
