It’s funny you saying this and just this weekend I was thinking about how much I hate that every boxer or MMA fighter has a nickname

Bro I swear fucking every superstar had a dope nickname before

people tried to get Slim Reaper to stick on KD and he hated it lol

I feel like the players also don't embrace them as much
