This was brought up in the Great White vs. Celtic Warrior thread, about how when Vince or whomever gets a nickname or a move name in their head, he gets bound and determined to make sure the commentators force that nickname out there even if it sucks and even if it winds up not catching on anyway.
Two examples off the top of my head are calling Christian the "Creepy Little Bastard" and trying to call Sheamus's finisher (I think both the Brogue Kick and High Cross were called this at different points) "Pale Justice".

I remember Cena pushing CM Sucks for awhile. Thankfully that one never caught on.

Triple H's 'One True Destroyer,' or something like that.
I swear that man has a God complex.

Worst nickname in WWE?
The Personification of Domination. Sure its a decent descriptive term, but its way too cute and wordy.

Pretty much any of the countless ones Striker would spout off.
Oh, and Booger Red.

Mark Henry as the "Silverback" never quite caught fire even if the commentators went out of their way to state that it was "self-proclaimed" to avoid any racial connotations.
"Big Nasty Bastard" for Big Show didn't last too long.
King of Kings caught on, but I still think its forced.

I remember Matt Striker calling Shelton Benjamin "The Blueprint" in ECW's dying days. This is where I say I miss Shelton Benjamin.

The Wizards of the Wicked Wood. JR used to say that in every Dudley Boys match.

Undertaker's booger...or whatever it was. Booger Red. It always gave me the idea that he was constantly suffering from severe nosebleeds.

How about a bad ass nickname that was wasted: The colossus of Boggo Road.

"Cold Blooded" Matt Hardy. Although, it helped that he didn't last long...

"Cold Blooded" Matt Hardy. Although, it helped that he didn't last long... Also, Angelic Diablo, since throwing two words that don't make sense together seems to be a trend for their nicknames.

During the "Billy Bitchcakes" promo, JR really seemed to want to get "Bitter Billy" to stick.
