1* FanNickname: His tag team with Wrestling/{{Kane}}, for obvious puntastic reasons, got the easy nickname of [=HurriKane=].
2* FridgeLogic: One of his ECW storylines was that Paul Burchill was trying to prove that Helms was the Hurricane. Problem was, WWE had been billing him since his return (and for part of this storyline) as Hurricane '''Helms'''. Midway through, someone caught on and the last name was quickly dropped.
3* HilariousInHindsight: A superhero gimmick in the WWE, over half a decade before WWE went PG ''and'' superhero films became massively successful at the box office.
4* NarmCharm:
5** 3-Count, especially their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HApYfaGogm4 first theme]].
6** ''The Hurricane''. A wrestling superhero is a ''hard'' sell to fans (Just look at the reception for [[Wrestling/NikkiCross Nikki A.S.H.]]) but Helms turned a gimmick that would have killed most careers into a corny but quite fondly remembered character ''because'' it was so goofy.
7* NeverLiveItDown: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJB_BDG1d8s The infamous Gregory Helms titantron]].
8-->"I made the dumb mistake of wearing sunglasses to the ring one night."
9* NightmareFuel: His old finishing move the vertebreaker. It's quite possibly ''the'' most dangerous move in all of wrestling as it involves him dropping his opponent on their neck. If they're even slightly late getting their head into position it could result in their death. Unsurprisingly, and quite rightly, the WWE forbid him from ever using it.
