* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Became the Laughable Lackey to [[Wrestling/SwerveStrickland Swerve Strickland's]] Vile Villain upon the merging of The Embassy and Mogul Affiliates. While Swerve is a brutal sadist, Prince Nana is a comical goofball who [[ButtMonkey regularly gets humiliated]] by others. The contrast in their demeanors is notable during Swerve's entrance. While Swerve calmly walks towards the ring in an intimidating fashion, Nana does an elaborate dance as he acoompanies Swerve.

* NameOfPower: After Jimmy Rave was banned from using the [[Wrestling/AJStyles Styles Clash]] on ROH shows, Rave started using [[Wrestling/AngelinaLove Angel Williams's]] divine crusher(which was already an example considering it was a Cyclone Negro style face buster), calling it "Greetings From Ghana". This was a {{take that}} to Wrestling/CMPunk, as it has the same startup as Punk's "Welcome To Chicago Motherfucker" but it was more obviously a compliment to Nana, who also uses moves that start with a double under hook.

* UnknownRival: Back in the wider {{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA, it was Nigerian Prince Kanu, who was very easy to set off just by mentioning Nana, and would frequently be unfavorably compared to Nana once this was discovered. All Nana had to say about him is not getting in Nana's way, which wasn't even directed at Kanu directly but in response to other managers being around the area that weekend. Nana likely had no idea who he was. That said, Kanu's more known for his fine print contracts to Nana's bribes and consolidation, they have little reason to overlap.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: While strictly serving as a commentator in ROH Nana ''was'' still looking for ways to cause trouble, his good behavior was simply not finding anything he felt was worth the effort. And Nana was the same meddling coward he had always been while managing Dijak. It was simply Wrestling/TruthMartini being against a solidly baby face Dijak and Nana being in Dijak's corner that made Nana look good.
