10 Best Nicknames In Modern Wrestling

Yep, the former Big Dog is at the top of the list with a much, much better nickname.

After trying to strike gold with the mediocre "Big Dog" and the underwhelming "The Guy" - a name whose only saving grace was inspiring one fan to make this sign - WWE finally hit the jackpot with Roman Reigns when they started calling him the Tribal Chief.

Reigns forcing the audience to acknowledge their chief is one of the best crowd participation gimmicks in years, and when he does eventually lose his belt than whoever topples the chief will have one hell of a rocket strapped to their back.

You've done great work here, WWE. Try not to do a - well, you - and f**k it up.
