Did anybody else find it funny when he called a wrestler or other wrestling personality by a different name? I remember when Howard Finkel (RIP) was paired with him and he would call The Fink "Edward" or "Harold." I also liked his nicknames for Dean Malenko like "Dean-o Machine-o" or "Stinko Malenko." Hell, I even thought "Bore-Us Malenko" was funny.
Also, it took me a while to finally understand why he called Goldberg "Greenberg." At first I thought it was him mixing up colors, but then when I found out what "green" also meant, I was like "ohhhhh."
What are some of your examples?

"Kirk Angel" has made me laugh for the last 23 years.

Is there a complete list? So far I know of:
Ron Mysterio Jr
Prince Nakamaki
Deano Machino
Bore-Us Malenko
Gene Mean
Quasi-Juice
Greenberg
Raisin
Kirk Angel
Vance McMahon
Not a nickname, but once he pronounced DDP's last name as "Pah-jay" like it was a French name or something.

And on the opposite side of the spectrum of that last example, pronouncing Chris Benoit's very obviously French Canadian last name as "Ben-Oyt". |

His nickname for Stephanie has not aged well. So you’re not a fan of the horrified NBC people asking why a football stadium full of people were chanting “Slut” at Stephanie during an XFL game? Because that’s a hilarious story. |

Cryback (Ryback)
They had a very brief feud in 2013 with Chris as the face and Ryback as the heel.

I'm kind of amazed he never called Rock "The Cock." I mean, it was right there!
