10 Modern Wrestling Tropes We're Totally Sick Of
6. Endless Nicknames
WWE Speak is a problem in and of itself. Rampant overscripting has created a roster of athletes that don't communicate like actual human beings, spouting stilted terms like "championship opportunity," calling the audience as "the WWE universe," and referring to the wrestlers as everything but "wrestlers" like a gang of cheesy corporate androids.
One of the maddening components of this is the idea that every wrestler on the roster needs at least a handful of nicknames to feed into the robot commentators' algorithm. 'The Monster Among Men,' 'The Swiss Cyborg,' 'The Joshi Judas,' 'The Striking Man From Amsterdam,' 'The Extraordinary Man Who Can Do Extraordinary Things' (thank god this one died), 'The Golden Goddess,' 'God's Greatest Creation,' just... stop. End this madness, refer to people by their real names (or at least something indicating their pedigree, IE: "the four-time Intercontinental Champion), use nicknames sparingly, and quit blurting these phrases out every 10 seconds. It's nonsense.
Yes, it's a different way to say somebody's name, but WWE's talking heads are insistent on beating you over the head with them until you either lose your mind or buy the relevant t-shirt.
