Greatest Nicknames of all time

Carnage · 12-08-2006, 10:40 PM

I've been watching the America's Game series on the NFL Network (yes, I'm one of the 27 people who have it right now

) and seeing some of the players as got me to thinking about cool nicknames.

So what is the Greatest nickname of all time?
Not just NFL, but any professional/college sport, wrestling, TV show, you name it.

Although I'm not a big fan of the team he played for, I personally think that this name is the greatest for 2 reasons 1) it perfectly fit the person, and 2) it may never be used again in our lifetime to describe an athlete.

That nickname is Sweetness. (R.I.P)

Walter Payton was a good one.

I always liked Kordell Stewart's "Slash" for his list of positions. QB/Wide Receiver/etc.

The "Refrigerator" was very fitting and "The Juice" was a clever one.

"The Splendid Splinter" - always loved that one

"Air" Jordan - apropos

And a group nickname I always loved - "Phi Slamma Jamma"

Ted Williams was the man!

"The Fab Five" (Sounds better then the Beetle's nickname)
"The Mailman"

Only if that power forward from the Spurs knew how to dunk...
