CanadianGuitarist Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 Even though I clearly win with George Vezina's "Chictoumi Cucumber", I'm sure there's thousands of good ones..... Examples?
Der Kommissar Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 Andre "Red Light" Racicot is one I have always enjoyed. Of course, it would suck to be a goalie and have a nickname like that.
starvenger Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 Two I'm currently fond of... Rod "He Hate Me" Smart Roy "Doc" Halladay
CanadianChris Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 "The Nigerian Nightmare" Christian Okoye And thanks for reminding me of good old Red Light Racicot. Good times.
Crimson Platypus Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 I'll second "He Hate Me" "Magic" Johnson "The Microwave" Vinnie Johnson
CanadianChris Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 I thought it was the Round Mound of Rebound.
nl5xsk1 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 When the B's had Joe Juneau, Adam Oates and Vlad Ruzicka as a line, they called them the Bonanza Line and since they had Joe & Adam already, they called Vlad "Hoss".
Black Lushus Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 I thought it was the Round Mound of Rebound. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you know...you may be right LOL....either way it's the best!
Crimson Platypus Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 Yeah, it's Round, and it also rocks, not the best though. Magic is the best. It's practically replaced his name. I bet there are people who think that is is real first name out there. Or at least if not that, people that don't know what his first name actually is...
Special K Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 "The Juice" is a classic. I sorta liked "The Nasty Boys" too. I also like "Charlie Hustle", but WTF was the Charlie about?
Dangerous A Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 Earvin "Magic" Johnson Magic might as well be the man's name. Also, because I am a Redskins fan, John Riggins was nicknamed "Diesel" before Kevin Nash was.
CanadianChris Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 I also like "Charlie Hustle", but WTF was the Charlie about? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just a generic name. Sounds a lot better than "Joe Hustle."
Masked Man of Mystery Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 I always liked Michael Jordan being called "His Royal Airness", Larry Legend(Bird), Tom "Flash" Gordon(I swear I saw game where he was listed as Flash Gordon), and some MMA fighters have neat nicknames, like Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic(which he got because he was/is part of a Croation anti terrorist group), "The Gracie Hunter" Kazushi Sakuraba, Murilo "Ninja" Rua(sometimes he's introduced as Murilo Ninja), "The Iceman" Chuck Liddel, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, and my personal favorite, "The Axe Murderer" Wanderlei Silva
Crimson Platypus Posted August 5, 2005 Report Posted August 5, 2005 The original "Iceman" was George Gervin. Smooth muthafucka too.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Ditto "He Hate Me." Before the WWF overdid it, those first few weeks were funny as hell. Glad Smart got a football career out of it (is he still with the Panthers?...)
Ced Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 He Hate Me wins, hands down. I like Reggie White's nickname of "The Minister of Defense". Works on so many levels.
Vern Gagne Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Jeff Reardon-The Bearded Clam Gary Gaetti-Dr. Crank
JJ Johnson Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 In terms of team nicknames, the Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes is so lame it's awesome. In terms of individuals, George "the Iceman" Gervin takes it for me.
Vampiro69 Posted August 6, 2005 Report Posted August 6, 2005 Couple of other nicknames that ruled. Karl "The Albino Rhino" Mecklenberg (LB Broncos) Dick "Night Train" Lane and I still have a fondness for Stan "The Man" Musial.
Mole Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 King James. It just rolls off your tounge and he will the King of the NBA.
