Forum Brethren,
It has been quite some time since the good Baron has allowed you laddies to bask in the scintillating radiance of my prose, however there is a most confounded conundrum that has this bloody Baron baffled blast it...
What the devil is the meaning behind all of these ruddy fighter chappies "nicknames"??? I mean really come on now...
Twinkle toes.
The Iceman
The Natural. (Is this a reference to Couture's stance against steroids?)
Mr International.
The Worlds Most Dangerous Man
The Filfy streets'ah London, Lee Murray.
The Babyfaced assassin.
The Native American Assassassin. (What on earth?)
The croation sensation.
Macdonalds Danzig (Naming himself after a combination his favorite meal, and singing artist)
Cro Cop.
Tape_Lord.
Minotauro/Minotoro.
The Zen Machine.
Giant Ochai.
"The Twister" Eduardo Braveaux (I do declare, wasn't this maneuver originally invented by one Larry Zybizsco?)
The Monster.
Beau Troll.
The Law/Lindlass/Landland
Tony Ciazzo: Above the Law.
And so on...I mean there are literally thousands of them out there, and for what mind you? What on earth is the ruddy point of them? Who authorized their usage? Some such as Mark "The Hammer" Coleman are hardly unique...
Other fellows such as Wanderlei Silva and Phillip Baroni have a different nickname for different continents, what in the blazes?
US: The Axe Murderer. Brazil: Mad Dog Silva.
US: The NY Badass. Japan: The NY Muscle Hammer (I say, is this some sort of reference to a close fondness with Mark Coleman?)
Then you have the chaps who share the same nickname such as
Elvis Schembri and Elvis Sinosic, The Huntington Beach badboys Tankard Abbott and Jacob Ortiz.
Chavvies such as Jerimiah Horn, who has publicly stated "I don't like nicknames, I think they're gay and I don't want one." seem to share a hatred of nicknames along with chaps such as Matthew Hughes.
What do you lads think? Perhaps some of the green named laddies could chime in with their valued opinion...what is the meaning behind your nickname?
There's a number of good laddies now isn't there...
The Brigadeer Baron Von Beatdown of Beeftown Esq.
