Just curious on the consensus in regards to nicknames in WWE, TNA, ROH, etc. I'll start.
"Instant Classic" Christian Cage
-Fits his character and rolls of the tongue nicely.
"The Pride of Tennessee" Jackie Moore.
-No fan of Jackie's, but it simply works.
Worst
"The Voodoo Queen/Princess/Concubine" Roxxi Laveuax"
-Not so much an issue with the name, just the fact that I've heard all three said in the last month on TNA.

"Survival Of The Fattest" Bobby Dempsey.
I don't think they're calling him that as a nickname, but damn if that wasn't hilariously awesome.

I agree with Instant Classic. Fits like a glove for Christian.

You couldn't ask for a better custom title!
How do you spell "Goddess"? C-H-R-I-S-T-Y!

Current? I still like "The Heartbreak Kid" for Shawn Michaels, even though he's in his 40s now.
Does Kevin Nash still go by "Big Sexy"? I like that one, too.
As for worst? I hate to say it because I do really like the guy, but "Y2J" was outdated on January 1, 2000. Also, something about "Legend Killer" never quite sounded right to me, although I'm sure others will disagree.
EDIT: Oh! How could I forget? When the Undertaker was the "American Badass," I thought that was one of the best nicknames I had ever heard. Seriously.

I like "Personal Jesus" for Austin Aries.
And one thats not really current, and I think it might be obscure(I've only heard him called it a couple times.Or maybe I'm just dreaming), but "Straight Edge Messiah" for CM Punk. But it only fits with heel-Punk. That is, if he was ever really called that(hopefully he was. I don't want to find out I'm crazy.)

I hate when JR calls Hardy the "Rainbow Haired Warrior". Just irritates me to death.

Jeff just seems to attract the bad nicknames; "Rainbow Haired Warrior", "Charismatic Enigma".
Really he just needs to combine the two and call himself the "Enigmatic Warrior". Its not perfect, but it sounds less contrived than the other two.

one that i hate: "The Samoan Submission Machine" Anything with machine in it such as The Wrestling Machine. The War Machine is alright as it fits Rhino. Samoan Bulldozer is a stupid nickname. I hate how Cena is called the Champ too even when he's not champ. |

Most any of Morrison's dumb nicknames I hate.
I like Samoan Submission Machine actually.

one that i hate: "The Samoan Submission Machine" The problem with that name just like the "Human Suplex Machine" moniker given to Taz, is that is suggests an image of a robotic machine which apparently has no purpose except to apply submissions or do suplexes. It seems weird. Granted I'd love to see an out of control suplex machine running loose in the city of New York. "Oh my god, not a Northern Light's!!!" *crash!* "Oh, its's rearing up for the German...." *boom!* "He's going for a superplex of the Empire State Building!" *bam!* |

The Fallen Angel is one of my all time favorites.
I like the nickname "Phenomenal" for AJ, but for some reason I'm not too fond of him being called "The Phenomenal One".
"The Most Money Making Man" for Claudio is another one I like, just for the poor grammar.

The one that I like the least is "The War Machine" for Rhino. I mean, isn't Rhino already a nickname for the guy? Or is that his real name?
