WWE's list of the 50 coolest nicknames in wrestling history

WWE.com

Here's an interesting diversion, brought to us from WWE.com in photo gallery form, transformed into a simple list by yours truly on a relatively slow news day.

The sobriquets are not ranked, and no merit seems to be indicated by their order in the slideshow. So don't get too worked up by the sorting of the list (presented here as they come up if you click through on the website), but do let us know which of your favorites may have been snubbed, or which monikers you think are undeserving that did make the cut.

That's the fun of lists after all!
