On reflection, I've noticed that wrestlers with too many nicknames end up having nicknames that are quite crap.
Once they have one nickname that catches on, they should quit while they're ahead (they being the commentators that so often come up with such rubbish).

I'm a much bigger fan of the Viper then the Apex Preditor, personally.

King of the Mountain (It's silly having a match of the same name) To be fair, Double J did win that first match, thus earning him the moniker. And they haven't had a KotM match since '09, so maybe they've done away with it.

I remember when they began calling Hardcore Holly "The Alabama Slamma." I always hated that nickname because it was crappy enough as the name for a move, but using it as a nickname as well was just overdoing it.

Any that Matt Striker forced down our throats while he was on commentary. The Soldiers of Fortune!- DX. Doesn't make sense. The Poison Fist of the Pacific Rim!- Yoshi Tatsu. Again, doesn't make sense. British Steel- Wade Barrett. At the risk of sounding repetitive, doesn't make sense. I'd find more examples, but I don't want to put myself through more agony of listening to him, now that he isn't on commentary finally. I didn't like when Matt Striker tried to call Vance Archer "American Psycho." And when he went for the INTENSE reverse DDT he said the "mask of sanity is slowly slipping!!" There was just... no correlation between American Psyco and Vance Archer (aside from the fact that Vance was American). He tried way too hard.

Yes, because he's actually quite small.

Every John Morrison nick name ever used. Ridiculous, like him. Obvious troll is obvious. I gotta go with "Dreadlocked Demolition man" as well. It's awful. Not trollin', his nick names suck.

King of Kings Anti-Christ The Devil's Favourite Demon
^ All because, for me, religious references in pro-wrestling is a MASSIVE turn off. It makes me hate a character or storyline when they bring in Biblical material. Not because I'm some sort of super saint, but because sometimes it comes across as super arrogant.
Eg. Triple H calling himself the King of Kings is the EXACT same as John Lennon saying "We're bigger than Jesus"
Or Jeff Hardy calling himself "The Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling" or Taker and Kane calling themselves "The Devil's Favourite Demon" just comes across as ignorant, the former being that he clearly doesn't understand what such a moniker means and the latter poking fun at the idea of eternal damnation.
Again, not trying to preach, just explaining.

John said what he said as a commentary on the sad state of people's priorities. He wasn't saying the Beatles were more important or more powerful than Jesus, just more popular (which at the time, might've been true). Most people unfortunately took it out of context.

Even Stone Cold couldn't get calling Christian a "Creepy Little Bastard" to stick. So awful.
