    I figure so long as its assigned to you by other people, most nicknames will work. Self appointed nicknames are always a little suspect though.

    If your real name is Vince Vaughn or Vanders Volten it'd be great.

    Second name to 'High' maybe?

    I agree, nicknames come naturally, a term of endearment even. Someone making up their own is just weird and I would go out of my way to call him something else. "Ah wattage how you doing? Nice thread"

    All nicknames suck with the exceptions of sexual heeling and mick hospital ward.

    Anyone who calls themselves the hammer or other such non sense are over compensating for something.

    No No No No No. You have it all wrong my friend. Nicknames come first. How else can you possibly garner respect in the fight game?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 47 VINCWM

    When do you get a bible quote tattoo? Before or after you've developed a depressing back story?

    You can multitask. Get a tattoo of yourself with a mohawk overcoming the word adversity by stomping on it.
