    Wow, what's in a name, eh? A Rootin' Tootin' Swamp Donkey! Seriously, thanks for the insight on the fighters behind the nicknames.

    Homicide Hank, El Terrible and Pazmanian devil are pretty metal. Not quite as metal as the Ghetto Wizard though, I still stand by that nickname being the best ever.

    I know it has racist implications, but I kinda think "The Boston Tar Baby" is cool.
