Can I just say how much I think how marvellous that pun is? I haven't been able to watch TNA recently, (though I'll catch up real soon) has Wolfey been making any other great puns of wrestlers' names?

that's pretty much his go-to schtick with people he faces as well it should be, because he is the best there is, he is the best there was, and he is the best...well, you know it

Nigels lines are beyond lame....
If he wasn't such a great wrestler or if his delivery was just a little worse then it would be terrible. It's something that looks terrible on paper but he makes it work.

I've started saying Mr Mangled in my everyday life. And I try to say it in a calm British accent.

I agree with everyone great saying. My only gripe is I wish Desmond hadn't tapped out to Angle in their first match. They should have had Desmond pass out from the pain while remaining in the hold for many minutes, but all the while refusing to tap out because he is just that much of a tough jerk. Not wanting to give "Mr. Mangled" the satisfaction and all that. A la SCSA v. Bret Hart back at Survivor Series 1996. Desmond could have still claimed he was undefeated (giving him a streak to brag about, and Angle to contend) while still keeping Angle from taking the out right lose (I assume that is why they booked the ending the way they did). That at least is how I would have booked it.

I'm not really with you on that one. Toughing it out and passing out in a submission move is more of a "face" thing (i.e.: catalyst for Austin face turn). You're not supposed to admire Wolfe. Being a courageous tough guy isn't his thing right now. He's a pure heel and a damn good one.
The only "heel" one I liked is Raven. Passing out with a smile on his face cause he loves the pain...the sadistic bastard!

Sure, he's alright in the ring, but I have to wonder if the lame promos are actually part of the point, just to be that much more annoying.

I'd just have had Wolf laugh before passing out when the Ref ask him if he wanted to give up, or maybe say to Angle you lose and then pass out. Just think the whole ending could have been handled better.

Nigel's always had intentionally lame insults and promo, its part of his gimmick. for instance, back in 2005 when he'd wrestle in the Boston area, he'd say they loved him like the Boston Redstockings or in Buffalo he was as over as the Buffalo Bulls (then after being correct about the mispronunciation, he'd bash the team, sport and town), and last year with calling Jerry Lynn "Geritol Lynn" and Tyler Black "Tylenol Black"

Reverberating from before, if it was anyone else other than Nigel, it would be terrible. {Spoiler}It is a kind of terrible nickname, but it beats 'ham sandwich' by a landslide

Doesn't seem like a nickname.... Just something stupid cena said

That is a bad way to insult someone. Hey there ham sandwich! How uncreative.

Another example would be Jericho's 'Kirt Angel'.
