This nickname is great because it works on two levels. At first it was Rocky's sarcastic acknowledgment of how hated he was by the fans. After his face turn and huge increase in popularity it lost its ironic edge but still was a cool nickname

What better nickname for a cocky heel character who thought he was too good for everyone and had the skills to back it up?

This is just a statement as well as a nickname because he always steals the show

Scott Hall helped blur the lines between heel and face with his anti-hero character Razor Ramon. As a Scarface ripoff it may have been subpar, but Hall was able to achieve the same goal the movie did - make you want to cheer for a jerk who made no apologies about being "The Bad Guy"

This is a personal favorite. Freddie Blassie was a great weaselly, arrogant heel and his nickname reinforced that he was classier and cooler than the "pencil necked geeks" he looked down upon

A nickname and gimmick so good they used it twice. Many younger wrestling fans don't realize that Flair's arrogant, flashy "Nature Boy" gimmick was lifted wholly from Buddy Rogers. The Nature Boy name perfectly describes the character - good looking, charismatic, athletic - a true natural possessing skills you cannot teach
