I think Jeff is undeniably charismatic but it's more of a physical charisma than a verbal one. The fact he got so insanely popular in spite of the fact he's not a good talker is testament to that. I tried to be relatively careful in phrasing to convey that it's just my opinion. I don't really get physical charisma from him either. When I think of physical charisma, I think of Mick Jagger, Prince, maybe Javier Bardem, I dunno. Hardy's physical presence has always put me in mind of the ever so slightly unwieldy dance moves of an awkward gangly teenager drinking at a party for the first time. I'm gonna throw another name in here so as not to double post: "The Animal" Batista. How is he any more anaimalistic than anyone else? In looking for fodder for this thread I came across WWE's list of the 25 best nicknames, here's their justification of "The Animal" So....uh....he's noisy and....uh....has four limbs....also he's way better than Ricky Steamboat so there.

The Superstars crew circa 2011 (I think it was Jack Korpela and Matt Striker) really, REALLY tried to force “The Dreadlocked Demolition Man” for Tyler Reks.
Too much of a f***ing mouthful.

The Bionic Redneck for Stone Cold Silverback for Mark Henry
And one ive always found odd is "The Nature Boy" what does that mean? He doesnt come to the ring with plants or animals and he is no boy. Why is he Nature?

My memory is failing me... I swear there was one nickname Roman has had that wasn't lame. it didn't stick around long. It was back when the Shield was still active. Like the Silent Warrior or Silent Asskicker or... the Samoan Asskicker something like that.
Everything since then has been lame and forced.

The Bionic Redneck for Stone Cold That fit because he was called that after his knee and neck surgeries. Also since Steve Austin was the 6 million dollar man.

I hate how they always say "Cien" like it's part of his name. It's even in quotations when it shows up on the screen?? Is this a Spanish thing I'm unaware of? I think it's just because just "Andrade Almas" on its own flows really awkwardly. Having the short 'Cien' syllable in the middle just makes it roll off the tongue easier. El Idolo also works as well which Mauro continues to use more

Lets see: he’s done skits where he had an affair with Mae Young, had Chyna rub her ass in his face, tongued a guy-followed by puking, stripped down to red spandex shorts and climbed into a hot tub with five other men, had Matt Striker as a manager...

I always thought that was one of the more clever nicknames I've heard from the WWE. It's only problem was that it didn't stick. But then again it was Stone Cold, I swear that dude had 50 different catchphrases and nick names on TShirts. He had to have made a shitload of spacebucks. Even some of the shitter T-shirts I still see with regularity when i go to shows. Hell I saw a dude with the classic "100% pure rattlesnake" Stone Cold snake arms shirt about a month ago in my office.

It was "Rainbow-Haired Warrior." It might not have been a great nickname, but for a wrestler whose hair had five or six different vivid colours at the time, it was very fitting.

The Bionic Redneck for Stone Cold Silverback for Mark Henry And one ive always found odd is "The Nature Boy" what does that mean? He doesnt come to the ring with plants or animals and he is no boy. Why is he Nature? Since the first two have been covered... I always assumed Nature Boy meant the same thing as "The Natural" I've seen suggestions that Buddy Rogers started using the name "The Natural Guy" because of his obviously fake blonde hair, which later became Nature Boy. I've also seen suggestions that Nature Boy had some German/Aryan connotations at the time, which in a post WWII environment obviously would play well for heel heat. Haven't seen any actual source for that speculation though. Lastly I've seen some draw a connection to the Nat King Cole song of the same name. Essentially that the promoter heard "Nature Boy," decided it would be a good cocky nickname, and gave it to Buddy Rogers. This seems the most likely to me. His promoter was Jack Pfefer, whose admission that wrestling was staged caused a lot of controversy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Pfefer

God, that nickname was awful, Mark sure had to put up with a lot of shit didn't he? From all accounts Henry came up with that himself because Gorillas are strong beasts. He didn't think about the racist connotations. The WWE were always saying he was self proclaimed silverback for that reason.

When did he have Striker as his manager? I remember Tony Atlas not Striker.

Obviously you can like whoever you want but I'm not sure you can criticise Jeff's weird dance moves for being awkward and then praise Mick Jagger's! Haha.
