It’s a Gertnerful Life

In ECW, Joel Gertner gave us so many classic lines during his ring introductions.  My favorite is:

Joel “Your Girlfriend Has Me on Her Speed Dial Because She Loves the Way I Star-69 Her” Gertner

But what if other wrestlers thought up of Joel’s gimmick before he did?  Here is a list of some nicknames that we’ll, unfortunately, never see:

  • Andre “I’ll Rock Your World Like an Earthquake, and Then Flatten You Out Like a Pancake” the Giant
  • Jim “I’ll Slip You In and Out of Your Pantyhose, and Then Let You Wipe the Booger Outta My Nose” Duggan
  • Kevin “Short & Fat Won’t Stop Me From Taking Off Your Bra, Just Promise Not to Leave Me for Some Guy Named Benoit” Sullivan
  • Vince “Watching My TV Shows Will Slowly Put You in a Coma, After Which I’ll Book You in a Match with Oklahoma” Russo
  • Paul “My Enunciation of the Situation Hypnotizes the Nation, While My Doctor Faces Frustration with My Hair Restoration” Heyman
  • Hunter Hearst “Girls Alike Proclaim My Huge Girth and Size, and My Semen’s Full of Chemicals Even Your Doctor Won’t Recognize” Helmsley
  • Jerry “A Night With Me is Like a Rage in the Cage, and Don’t Be Offended But I Prefer Girls 1/5th My Age” Lawler
  • Val “Gaze Into My Eyes and Fall Victim to My Stare, and Forget that I Lost All Charisma When I Cut My Long Hair” Venis
  • Big “All It Takes is One Look to See I’m Big Everywhere, But Don’t Think I Wouldn’t Eat You and Your Mom for Lunch on a Dare” Show
