[Crippler]

The Cerebral Assassin > The King of Kings

 

[Deezy]

Bionic Redneck? They used that for like 6 months on his ill-fated heel turn....and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Stone Cold" a nickname? The most successful nickname in history?

And "The Champ"?.....who refers to Cena that way besides him? Doctor of Thuganomics eclipses that shit.

The Cerebral Assassin > The King of Kings

Thought you would've brought up lack of Christian's CLB

Pointless doing a list on this even if they had done a better job of it..

They always get eyeballs and discussions......it does it's job.

And it's a bit of fun but I don't think old man Keith knows anything about that :

I'll probably think of more over time but the one that struck me as the most glaring omission was that none of The Rock's were included. No, 'Great One' 'People's Champ' or 'Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment' is an absolute joke :rock2:

 

[Keith]

Hey I eat Poptarts with Beer so don't talk to me about fun!

Yep, could've kicked off Ziggler or Swagger easily.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

The Champ at number one, a few guys on that list; Cena, Hart, Austin they seem to have chosen their worst nickname for the list.

 

[The Cork]

Most those names are dorky as fuck.

"The Animal"...."The Champ".....yeah how long did it take to come up with those supposed GOAT nicknames.....

Needs moar Legend Killer.

Also, thought Larry Zbysko was 'living legend'

Could be wrong, but I think Larry took it from Bruno following their famous feud.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Well they picked all the shitty ones really. What kind of nickname is "The Champ"? HAHA! What a fucking joke.

 

[Cena's Jeans Shorts]

I wanted to say "Big D" and "Big Daddy Cool" were cool nicknames. But I can't say they worked out very well for Nash considering he drew worse than a vanilla midget while he used those monikers.

Seriously, the Bad Guy is probably still one of my all time favorites. It fit the Razor Ramon character perfectly.

Took it as a heat ploy before their famous cage match at Shea Stadium, used it ever since.

 

[Luke Flywalker]

"The"
"The"
"The"

...what about "Ravishing" Rick Rude? Is it because Lana now uses "Ravishing"?
...what about "Classy" Freddy Blassie?
...what about "Best in the World"?
...what about "Hot Rod"?
...what about "Macho King"?

Screw this list!
