It pisses me off that the announcers always say "the man that gravity forgot" when it should be "the man WHOM gravity forgot".

Your song title isn't proper, most lyrics aren't, either. |

Honestly, I don't care and why should I? It's just a wrestler's nickname.. It sounds better like this anyway.

Little known fact: Gravity also forgot to "M" in whom. Don't judge though. Gravity has a lot on it's plate and tends to forget quite a bit.

Is it?
Gravity forgot him. He forgot gravity.
I guess you're right. I'm more annoyed by the absence of his first name and the "new sensation" tacked-on name.

Whom has virtually been eliminated from most dialects in the United States, for sake of sounding like a pompous douche. Grammatically, you are correct. Also, JBL doesn't even speak English. He's a Texan, Maggle. It's important to remember that people don't speak the same way they write, and, even with that, the percentage of people who properly practice grammar rules daily is, seemingly, less than 10% of the population.
You also have to remember your audience and what portion of said audience is even going to catch that mistake.

Can we also not blame WWE commentary? Neville has been the "Man That Gravity Forgot" for a long time.

He's been call "The Man That Gravity Forgot" going back to Dragon Gate USA. There needs to be no discussion.

Everyone is forgetting something more important than grammar. Gravity is just a force of nature; it does not have a mind with which to think and cannot forget anything. I'm going to start a petition to ask WWE to change his tag to "the man who defies the immutable law of gravity." Also, I'll ask them to give him back his first name.

I personally thinks he needs more nicknames during his ring entrance. 2 isn't enough
