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. Tony Atlas drew a picture of him and everything: Shame that didn't work out. It's actually pretty clever considering he was in The Nation at the time.

Chilly Mcfreeze Ice Dagger Those weren't forced nicknames; those were just straight up failed names for SCSA.

Ice Dagger sounds like a badass name for a finisher, though

Worst nickname in WWE? The Personification of Domination. Sure its a decent descriptive term, but its way too cute and wordy. I have to...err...like to (yeah, that's it) call my Mistres...errr girlfriend, girlfriend dammit....that. (Don't tell her I said dammit please)

"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. Like Skinny Fat Ass?

"Rainbow Haired Warrior" Jeff Hardy. Who greenlit that? God, yes! How the hell is "Rainbow Haired Warrior" supposed to be intimidating? Sounds like a hero from a SatAM cartoon show.

"Silverback" was a cool name. Not really racist, because the implication was that Henry had the strength of that animal.

The Cleveland Screamer /thread They've still continued to use it on wwe.com, up through this past Raw write-up.

Didn't they try and give Miz the nickname Cleveland Screamer for a bit? I saw that on wwe.com and immediately laughed. Then I thought, "I wonder if they know the phrase they're ripping off, and what it really means." {Spoiler}Urban Dictionary is your friend; replace "Screamer" with "steamer" and prepare to be grossed out.

Triple H's 'One True Destroyer,' or something like that. I swear that man has a God complex. Triple H rivals Matt Hardy when it comes to giving himself terrible nicknames. I bet that Undertaker is happy every day that calling him "Booger Red" never took off.

"Rainbow Haired Warrior" Jeff Hardy. Who greenlit that? it was probably Jeff. calling Miz "the Cleveland Screamer" is pretty dumb because it sounds like "Cleveland Steamer" and when you want a guy to get over, you probably shouldn't give him a nickname that makes people think he's going to take a dump on you.

Has "The Viper" caught on? I don't think it has. I think people are more likely to just call him "Randy Orton"

I would think that "The Viper" has caught on, because that's pretty much what his whole deal his. He's snake like, he coils in the ring and he's known as the Apex Predator, which I think its an extremely badass nickname to call someone. I definitely think that The Viper caught on.
What I do miss is the Mystifying Sin Cara.

Not a nickname, but to sell The Red Rooster's face turn, they called his fans the "Rooster Boosters".
