Didn't they also call him the "Vanilla Gorilla" at least a few times? Either on his debut or the week after. Still better than the whole "Silverback" thing they tried with Mark Henry.

I assume this had to be a Jim Ross idea, since it had previously been the nickname of an old Dallas Cowboys player. Oh my god all the most cursed abandoned nicknames from this era can be traced back to him Booger Red vs Manster could headline anywhere in the world!

Sign above the door: *Welcome to the audition for Rob Zombie's The Munsters* Rob: "I'm searching for my Herman. Now gimme your best effort!" Brock: "I got this, I was born to be the Manster." Rob:

Ryback definitely did in the Tough Enough era. It's basically where the name Ryback came from. Ry being from Ryan, back from silverback gorilla.

Remember when they tried to call Roman "The Juggernaut" and Finn was "The Extraordinary Man Who Can Do Extraordinary Things" Thank god they eventually found fun little Red Barons for them. "The Tribal Chief" and "The Prince" are both nice and simple. The Prince is also a nice nod to his name in NJPW: Prince Devitt.
As for the Manster: I mean, this is the same company that almost called Stone Cold Steve Austin "Chilly McFreeze." I'm not surprised by any silly names or nicknames they come up with anymore.

Why didn't you guys just bring back the name Mantaur and give to him with the Buffalo Head and everything.
Actually, seeing Brock Lesnar coming down the entrance ramp while wearing the head of an animal that he probably most likely killed and coming to kill you in the ring next would actually be a scary sight.

I believe Manster was originally the nickname for Randy White from the Dallas Cowboys.

"Self-Proclaimed Silverback" It's not racist because Mark Henry was the one calling himself that. Not racist at all. 😑
