Nikki A.S.H. A.S.H. which stands for Almost a Super Hero. Like why would you want to be ALMOST a hero? They would even frequently say "Almost a Super Hero Nikki ASH!" Like, the point of an acronym is that you don't have to say what it stands for every time. |

Like, the point of an acronym is that you don't have to say what it stands for every time. I get calling her Almost a Super Hero bit... to an extent but Almost a super hero Nikki A-S-H... was stupid... for one thing why is the A.s.h. after her name .. as well as being called Almost a Super Hero. and like the Almost a Super Hero only really works as if she like... has grit and determination and gets better type thing... instead she just kept winning in the flukiest ways possible, including tripping over backwards into the Championship. Making sure that no one could ever possibly want to cheer for her. |

The Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose Now I always liked this because in Cincinnati there is a popular radio station that calls itself “the lunatic fringe of American FM” and since Mox is from here I figured it was a reference. |

Idk if this was as bad as we thought it was. What I mean is that he was still Keith Lee. It was just a nick name. It's not like he came out in a Cat suit and meow'd and his whole character changed. Well...

Remember when they had everyone say "Survivor Series, The One Time of Year RAW & Smackdown Go Head to Head!" Remember how they had Jason Jordan say that in a promo begging & pleading?

While this isn’t the most egregious example in my opinion, it does highlight the Vince-era philosophy that every single thing has to be so damned on-the-nose. He couldn’t just let Sting’s character (already established for over 20 years in this gimmick) speak for itself as a vigilante.. he has to be nicknamed it. The Undertaker couldn’t just be a man fascinated with the morbid and dark.. no! He’s actually literally dead, pal! All the occupation type gimmicks during the New Generation era. We had to have literal magicians, baseball & hockey players, trash men. In all fairness I can’t say it was always this way across the board with every gimmick but the times that it happened just sucked. Vince didnt always have the best grasp of subtlety. |
