DT is "the Magic Man", Ed Ruth was "Easy Ed". Heck Zain already has a couple (Z-train or Z-pain). Is it time to give the youngsters a catchy nickname? My nominees are J-No for Nolf and "the Sheriff" for Nickal. J-No is kind of lazy, an over-used concept, but I couldn't think of anything else except "Snappy McSnapperson" for his head snaps (yes, I started that thread ,too!) which is too many syllables for a nickname. Whilst B-Nick sounds great for Bo, being a native of Texas gives us many original nickname opportunities. This is a very important subject (to me) so any assistance would be appreciated! Does anyone know if the wrestlers have nicknames for each other? That could help, too. Thanks for indulging me.
Nicknames
- Thread starter gtown mike
- Start date
They do. These generally stay between them. A big exception to that is if an injured or backup PSU wrestler does color commentary with Ironhead on a radio broadcast, and lets out the nickname.
I'm sure some of the nicknames amongst teammates should remain private! Any of us who ever knew a "Beer Can" can attest to that! My nickname in college was a play on my name, based on how my name would be mispronounced at away matches. I was thinking if there was something like that. Thank you for responding Tom! I feel like I won a prize!
I think every dorm floor had a "Beer Can"
I'm not even sure "Beer Can" and "Snappy McSnapperson" should be in the same thread.

"Moon River" Nickal after the Brunson treatment. Fletch reference for us "old" guys, sorry 
I'm not sure why, but I think I really like Nolf Vader. Maybe it's the idea of him approaching the mat while "The Imperial March" rocks the arena. That would be so intimidating!!!
"Bo Knows Wrestling" - folks from my generation will get the reference....
No offense to Nolf, but anyone that gets intimidated by a piece of music does not have the mental fortitude to be a D-I wrestler.
I think of our guys as the good guys battling the evils of Iowa, tO$U, the NWCA, etc so any association with the dark side of the force and our team Im against...lol
The most reaction I ever witnessed to entrance music was my senior year when we ran out to Rob Zombie's More human than human....wow did the grey hairs in the stands go bonkers with that opening 30 secs. Still laugh at this to this day.
Sam Stoll comes out to The Imperial March in Carver, so there you go!
Tech-nolf, Nolfman, Gotta get some inside scoop... Ironhead needs to get another guest color analyst.... Cutch would be good for that this week...
After watching Annie's highlight video (very nice!), I thought about how most wrestlers, even the greats, push the pace in waves. Not Jason, he's one big wave of action. Thus I nominate The Human Tsunami or just Tsunami. It sounds like a Marvel Comic character. I'll go on a waiting list for the first t-shirt.
Jason "The Nightmare" Nolf.
I'm in my 40's, outweight him by 50 lbs, keep "security" tucked in the nightstand by my bed, have a wife that could scare off anyone and the boy still gives me bad dreams...

Nicknames have to evolve until they are a step or two away from how they originated.
No need for the "Nolf Vader"
Just shorten it to Vader period
