I don't think Babalu literally means bubble gum, but rather it was a type of bubble gum in Brazil and he looked like the character on the wrapper.

I think Lindlands nickname (the law) came from the fact that he took the American Wrestling Association to court over a match at the Olympic trials, and won the litigation, thereby allowing him to wrestle at the Olympics where he won a silver medal.

"The Count" got his nickname because if Poland didn't get it's system of Royalty destroyed in WWII (or I... forgot) then he can trace his lineage and he would actually be a Count...

I assumed they called Wandy The Axe Murderer because he looks so fucking scary.

You had a lot of "unknown"s on some easy ones. Other than that, nice job.

I wonder how stephan bonnar got his nickname "American Psycho"?

Anyone know, I suspect he got it from the book, or better yet the movie and thought the main character looked cool
