WWE: 5 Awful Superstar Nicknames

3. The Legend Thriller - Jeff Hardy

I could have made this a list of just awful Jeff Hardy Nicknames, I mean this is the man the WWE had the cheek to dub, "The Charismatic Enigma" He also went by "The Rainbow Haired Warrior", "The Anti-Christ Of Professional Wrestling" and you get the idea. I want to know one thing, What's a "Legend Thriller"? Do Sgt. Slaughter and Ted DiBiase get all excited when he's wrestling? The answer no. It started on January 2008 in his feud with Randy Orton as a play on Orton's "Legend Killer", A nickname that may have over stayed its welcome on Orton but really advanced his career. The name started after Hardy performed a Swanton Bomb from the scaffold onto Randy Orton, Jim Ross stopped calling Hardy the "Rainbow Haired Warrior" and "Charasmatic Enigma". Instead, during Hardy's matches, he started plugging in the fact that even though Hardy was young he was still a veteran. This lead to him switching it up and calling Hardy the "Legend Thriller" in order to compare him to his then WWE title match opponent Randy Orton.
