Brian Kendrick is absolutely a valid answer. It was my first thought as well.

It was him and also Drew McIntyre/Galloway's old nickname was he was still in WWE developmental - Thee Drew Galloway

saaaame here

[@corndogggggggggg]

Some of these were definitely odd, I feel like "The Mad King" is used more for Eddie Kingston and "The Girl with the Shiniest Wizard" is Tegan Nox (more recently at least). Good quiz regardless, finished with 24 :)

[@MBpintas]

Last of a Dying Breed was used frequently for Eddie in CHIKARA. don't recall it being used during his AEW run though

[@GCAbleism158]

The local hero nickname was an older one too, he has been known as the prestigious one for nearly 6 years.

[@corndogggggggggg]

Both great points, I feel like their more recent/more current characters would make more sense for the quiz

[@starrcade6709]

@@corndogggggggggg True but using some more obscure names makes it harder and more interesting! Cause if were using modern names, then a ton of the question are freebies. Like for example, Mad King, you have to not know much about AEW or its roster to fail the question.

The Eradicator is the moniker Rhea Ripley got when she joined The Judgment Day. I don't think it's on any merch even, but the commentators do occasionally mention it

I got 3. And all 3 of em were in WWE. It doesn’t help that a majority of these were NXT/AEW and I don’t watch either. The 3 I got were Sami, Omos and Tegan. Idk how u couldn’t get Sami. It was by far the easiest one. I mean Uce is obviously referring to the USO’s/Bloodline and Sami was in there despite not being blood (hence y it’s honorary). That honestly felt like a free pass everyone should’ve gotten so it baffles me u couldn’t get it but somehow got Hendry or Tegan (I can understand not getting Omos). I only know Omos cause I remember watching matches between AJ and Omos vs The Street Profits (because Profits are my fave team).

Great answer by Dante, deserved the points 13) Ricky Starks (+1) 14) Beth Phoenix (0) 15) Matt Cardona (0) 16) Katie Vick (0) - I'm sorry for that, I really am 17) Rick Boogs (0) 18) Main Event Logan (Paul) (-8) final score: 0, that's sad, really sad

Was it because most of it was NXT/AEW? Cause that’s y I did so bad. I only got 3 right and they are all WWE. I literally know nobody from NXT and with AEW I only know the ones that used to be in WWE. I mean I normally don’t do to great on these quizzes but this one was worse. I normally get at least 5-6 right. Theirs only one that I have gotten a really good score on and I got 10 on it.

[@UltimateMatt000]

I feel like I'm good at nicknames. Anyways time to play along, I expect to do well here (note: im very casual, not as familiar with last 5 years of WWE) 1: I've never heard this, though it sounds like it'd be a more old school guy, or one of those japanese guys from like Cyberfight or whatever. I'll guess Corbin but could very well be someone else (Wow I was right about the 'dying breed' part being King's Road related, 0/1 though) 2: Tony D'Angelo. One of my favourite gimmicks from current NXT. (1/2) 3: It's Max Caster, though the nickname is more so Platinum Max, or something like that (2/3) 4: Tf are these modern nicknames lol. My guess is NXT, maybe uhh Grayson Waller? (Interesting 2/4) 5: Sami Zayn easy (3/5) 6: Sweet another layup. GUNTHER (4/6) 7: JOOOOOOE HENDRYYYYY!!!! LOCAL HEROOOOO!!!!!! Idk if John and Dante get this, but I suspect the KZbin audience will know this one very well, given what he did for WhatCulture back in the mid 2010s. Iconic wrestler. (5/7) 8: Four layups in a row, yay! This is Omos (6/8) 9: Welp.... don't think it's Titus O'Neil or Fred Rosser (iconic tag team back in the day), maybe NXT? Carmelo Hayes? (makes sense 6/9) 10: No idea at all. Maybe it's Kross? idk (makes sense 6/10) 11: This has gotta be Finn Balor, right? Idk when he started using this term, but 'ace' is the term used in Japan for face of the company (e.g. Hiroshi Tamahashi), and Balor fit that role as the Junior Ace back in NJPW, could be him then (...oh, did he use that back in OTT? 6/11) 12: I have zero idea. Gonna go Grayson Waller again, could be another young guy like Austin Theory idk (smh I knew this one, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, I guess Hit Row fell off ever since Swerve left :/ 6/12) 13: Ricky Starks, thank god. (7/13) 14: Ohh this is that new guy!! Quincy Elliott!! (8/14) 15: No clue here... Baron Corbin? (I mean.... he IS ex-Impact. Makes sense 8/15) 16: No idea here. Isla Dawn? I'm clueless (Damn wrong UK wrestler 8/16) 17: Best of all time? Uhh why do I feel like it's an older guy on NXT, I have no idea. Guessing Apollo Crews, though I'm clueless. (Never heard of it 8/17) 18: Why do I feel like I know this, but I don't?? Sounds like someone whose name starts with M. Mox? Moose? McIntyre? Uhh I'll guess Main Event Miz (he did Main Event a mania), though im unsure (OHHHH I just watched a video on him too 8/18) I sucked... also the guy that wrote this quiz was definitely some british guy who watched a lot of WCPW, ICW, and OTT back in the day.
