* [[http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/championship/Belt_Retired/WCW_Heavyweight.png Big Gold]] - The [[LongRunner Long Running]] championship belt design[[note]]Though it has been modified slightly over the years[[/note]] used to represent the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, WCW International World Heavyweight Championship, WCW World Heavyweight Championship and WWE's secondary World Heavyweight Championship.

** Kobe Johnston, after two separate Raw guest hosts managed to mangle his first and last name. This one is a favorite of [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment the Spoony One]].

** [[Creator/CheechAndChong Basketball Jones]]: Because "[[MemeticMutation basketballs don't hold grudges]]". Coined by a Website/{{WrestleCrap}} induction, and was [[ForcedMeme forced by Triple Kelly]], one of the website's writers.

** WORST PERSON EVER - After his feuds in 1999 with Wrestling/TheBigShow and Al Snow.

* Wrestling/TheBigShow

* Wrestling/{{Bill DeMott}}

* Playboy Push - For a number of years, WWE would heavily push a female wrestler who was set to appear nude on the pages of ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' (especially if that issue's release happened to fall within a couple of months of [=WrestleMania=]). The most notable women to receive such pushes are Wrestling/{{Sable}}, Wrestling/Chyna, Wrestling/TorrieWilson, Wrestling/CandiceMichelle, Wrestling/ChristyHemme and Wrestling/AshleyMassaro. Also applies to TNA, with Traci Brooks' return to television coinciding with her confirmation that she will be appearing in Playboy. Until it was revealed that she wouldn't be in the magazine itself, but on the online version. After the reveal, her push died completely and she once again disappeared from TV.

* TNA That [[Music/PhilCollins]] Song/TNA Sussudio - A derisive nickname for the TNA/Impact Wrestling PPV "Against All Odds", which is also the name of a song by Phil Collins.

** A very short lived DreamTeam of two of the best and most popular talents of their era netted them the name "The Giga Powers." (It's like the [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Mega]] [[Wrestling/RandySavage Powers]], [[DontExplainTheJoke only a thousand times more talented.]])

* "Una Telenovela" a four year angle in Wrestling/{{AAA}} revolving around Gran Apache's OverProtectiveDad antics and his daughter Fabi's suffering because of them.

** Women's Erotic Wrestling, as the fed was very {{fanservice}} reliant. The E "officially" stands for "extreme" but it doesn't really matter, as the initialism is really just a reference to the original {{garbage|wrestler}} promotion Wrestling/{{FMW}}, specifically it's LighterAndSofter late 1990s "'''W'''orld '''E'''ntertainment '''W'''restling" era.[[note]]Given WEW was not only regarded as a DorkAge but quickly killed FMW's women's division, a women's company wanting to invoke it is very strange.[[/note]]

* Absolution and/or Wrestling/TheRiottSquad: [[DistaffCounterpart The She]][[Wrestling/TheShield -ild]] - Both trios debuted in the same week, almost exactly to the five-year anniversary of the Shield's debut, and displayed a penchant for backstage ambushes and ganging up on their opponents, even having a similar composition--one tougher-looking bruiser (Sonya Deville and Sarah Logan; essentially an analogue to Roman Reigns), one PaleSkinnedBrunette alt girl who led the group (Paige and Wrestling/RubyRiott; the analogue to Seth Rollins), and one blonde (Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan; the analogue to Dean Ambrose).

* Wresltling/{{ECW}}

* [=WrestleMania=] Play (Button), [=WrestleMania=] Star, [=WrestleMania=] Sun, [=WrestleMania=] Fleur-de-Lis/[[VideoGames/SaintsRow Saint]] - named for logo elements of ''[=WrestleMania=]s'' 31, 32, 33 and 34 after Vince StoppedNumberingSequels as part of the logo designs. Fans took this as well as you can expect.

* After the brand split introduced the SmackDown tag titles' blue leather and silver plates variant (and later changed Raw's to red leather and silver plates) they been called "The Nickels".

* Bucky Beaver Teeth - Kevin Dunn ([[NamesTheSame not to be confused]] with actor from ''Film/{{Transformers}}''), one of the most despised men backstage in wrestling by fans, wrestlers and creative figures alike, for everything from sucking up to Vince to blatant sexism to not even being a big fan of wrestling; the only thing most people are willing to give him is that he can direct a TV show very well. Named as such for his prominent buck teeth as noted by Wrestling/JimCornette.

** Nipple H - Stacked like pancakes (to say nothing of when she was pregnant). Term coined by Website/{{WrestleCrap}}... and if you look for "Stephanie [=McMahon=]" on a certain site that [[Wiki/{{Uncyclopedia}} parodies]] [[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]], the title changes before your eyes to "Nipple H".

** [[Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure DIO]] Lesnar for being an ArchEnemy of Cena and Reigns, [[DirtyCoward his bad habit of using cheap tactics]], blonde hair, [[{{Sadist}} sadism]], and [[MoralEventHorizon heelish actions in his second WWE run]].

** [[Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure John Cena Joestar]], due to his "You Can't See Me!" gesture being suspiciously similar to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Jonathan Joestar's pose]].

** [[Franchise/TheSimpsons The Local Men]] (specifically referring to their teaming up while part of Wrestling/TheAuthority, though the nickname has continued to follow both around since then), due to their status as [[TheScrappy Scrappies]] and a growing belief among fans that they ruin everything they're involved with.

** [[Franchise/TheMuppets Beaker]], thanks to Wrestling/{{Edge}}. Later, this was ''canonized'' during a show featuring the Muppets, where it's revealed Beaker and Sheamus are cousins.

* Wrestling/{{Edge}} and Wrestling/{{Christian}}: "E & C", "Suicide Blondes" (they had actually used this name in the independents, as Sexton Hardcastle and Christian Cage, prior to coming to Wrestling/{{WWE}}.)

* Rated RKO (Wrestling/RandyOrton and Wrestling/{{Edge}}): An ascended fan nickname.

* Rated [=Y2J=] (Wrestling/ChrisJericho and Wrestling/{{Edge}})

** In 2002, three tag teams ([[Wrestling/EddieGuerrero Eddie]] & Wrestling/{{Chavo|GuerreroJr}}, Wrestling/{{Edge}} & Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr, and Wrestling/ChrisBenoit & Wrestling/KurtAngle) delivered tag team matches (as well as singles matches) of such a consistently high caliber that they were given this unofficial nickname to indicate their importance to the ''[=SmackDown!=]'' brand that year. They were the top three teams in the tournament to crown the first-ever [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-t.html WWE [=SmackDown=] Tag Team Champions]].
** "The New [=SmackDown=] Six" has been used to refer to Wrestling/{{Edge}}, Mysterio, Wrestling/JeffHardy, Wrestling/CMPunk, Wrestling/JohnMorrison and Wrestling/ChrisJericho. Since then, Edge (temporarily), Punk, and Morrison have moved to Raw, and Hardy's gone to Wrestling/{{TNA}}.

* The Hug of Death, Running Hug - Wrestling/{{Edge}}'s Spear. Named by critics who mock it, saying it looks like he's just running up and hugging his opponent, and that it doesn't even look like it hurts.

* Wrestling/{{Edge}}
** SPEARSPEARSPEAR - Used to refer to his "ultimate opportunist" gimmick, which usually consists of Wrestling/{{Edge}} showing up when an opponent is weakened, [[EyeTake looking deranged]] and ultimately using his finishing move, Spear, on the opponent. [[AscendedMeme What really kickstarted the name was when he suffixed all of his sentences with "spear" in a promo with Chris Jericho.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx6H6Rs0_AA Spearspearspear.]]

*** For some fans, [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Batista was like this for a lot of his face run]], and only now he was targeting the good guys instead and turning the negative aspects that already existed UpToEleven.

** Wrestling/EddieGuerrero vs. Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield at Judgment Day '04 took the scale [[UpToEleven up to about 12]].

** [[Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure DIO]] Lesnar for being an ArchEnemy of Cena and Reigns, [[DirtyCoward his bad habit of using cheap tactics]], [[BlondesAreEvil blonde hair]], [[{{Sadist}} sadism]], and [[MoralEventHorizon heelish actions in his second WWE run]].

** Music/RickRoss - Due to his resemblance to Ross after he [[BaldOfAwesome shaved his head]]. He also dressed as him for Halloween.

** Also Lobsterhead, taken from a {{Mondegreen}} of his original entrance music: "It's a shameful thing, lobsterhead".

* [=WadeSlam=]: When WWE taped a few shows in Mexico, some badly translated spoilers came out with Wrestling/WadeBarrett's Wasteland [[FinishingMove finisher]] being {{Mondegreen}}ed into the [=WadeSlam=].
