10 Best Nicknames In Modern Wrestling

2. Best Bout Machine (Kenny Omega)

If ever a nickname summed up a wrestler's appeal...

Kenny Omega may not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's no doubting the man's in-ring credentials. Hell, when WhatCulture ranked the best wrestlers of 2021 he managed to make the top two, despite his body falling apart.

(Maybe that's why he became the belt collector last year - he need all those straps to hold his ailing body together).

Kenny Omega is a top-tier talent, and he has the top-tier nickname to match. Even if his attitude can be insufferably cartoonish, when the bell rings you know you're in for a great match. Ever since his now-legendary bout against Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11, Omega has built his career on being the best performer on any given night.

Granted, the arrival of Bryan Danielson in AEW has definitely challenged that status. But given how good Omega has been when injured, a fully fixed Best Bout Machine should remind everyone in AEW who the top dog is.

Speaking of big dogs...
