      TheMAan1901 Corey graves usually says it on raw when she’s making her entrance, but it doesn’t really stick.

    • @Daysleeper1990
      @Daysleeper1990 Před 6 lety +3

      Corey Graves used it in NXT and Raw, it's not bad but it's not like it's made it on to shirts or something.

    The whole "Lunatic Fringe" thing is a reference to a radio station in Cincinnati, where Dean is from.

    • @fiadhearthpony6177

      still he's just a bit odd not a Lunatic just odd

      He got the nickname from the station in Cincinnati who got their nickname from the song guys

    • @EvanSchatz
      @EvanSchatz Před 6 lety +2

      The song is referring to Neo Nazis, incidentally

      Rachel Moon Dean is not great like he used to be. What happened to his real lunatic fringe?

  • @Quinnknights
    @Quinnknights Před 6 lety +37

    Worlds largest is not the same as tallest -_- the point was he has more overall size.

    • @Somnogenesis
      @Somnogenesis Před 6 lety +3

      Quinzark That's it exactly. They've always said "largest" because it connotes a combination of height _and_ weight. A couple of people Show's got in the ring with have had an inch or two on him, but they weren't 500 pounds (in or out of kayfabe) with it.

    • @notyet1552

    Never thought Seth was the leader of the Shield, Dean always seemed the leader, he was the one who got the singles run

    • @lukeer9
      @lukeer9 Před 6 lety +2

      Pragmatic Justice nah

    • @sheldonhicks4321
      @sheldonhicks4321 Před 6 lety +27

      Pragmatic Justice exactly what I was thinking spot on

    • @coldhellfire
      @coldhellfire Před 6 lety +63

      Actually when they were together Dean WAS presented as being the leader. When they broke up WWE just pretended like it was Seth the whole time like we were just supposed to forget.

    • @raydarable
      @raydarable Před 6 lety +8

      I felt as if they were both the leader, and Dean just tended to talk more.

    • @caspianmanpredator163
      @caspianmanpredator163 Před 6 lety +3

      Pragmatic Justice well at the start Seth was the NXT champion for a while after the shield formed so I guess in NXT Seth was the leader idk?

  • @bAd12cheZ
    @bAd12cheZ Před 6 lety +76

    Why is Kenny Omega called the Cleaner?
    I saw him sweep the ring with a tiny broom one time, but why is he called that?

    • @Biloxata
      @Biloxata Před 6 lety +13

      New Japan going to far with the hitman idea, so he is supposed to be like the Winston Wolfe of Bullet Club...

    • @deshawnwright6970
      @deshawnwright6970 Před 6 lety +25

      Phyrexian Juggernaut He was originally brought into Bullet Club to "clean up the trash in the junior heavyweight division".

    • @domfabio8850
      @domfabio8850 Před 6 lety +15

      Because the Bullet Club would lay waste to every wrestler and then Kenny would be there to clean it up.
      Well that was the case back when Kenny wasn't the leader.

    • @35djd
      @35djd Před 6 lety +11

      Because 'Cleaner' is a reference to another name for a mafia hitman. When he joined BC they had him placed as their secret weapon to take out the Junior division.
      Now he is the head of the mafia but still 'cleans' up in the ring so the name stuck. Plus it fits pretty well.

    • @Y2JWannabe93
      @Y2JWannabe93 Před 6 lety

      And it was more than one time lmao

  • @benjaythewhite
    @benjaythewhite Před 6 lety +13

    Or you know, the Axe man could be in reference and homage to his grandfather Larry "The Axe" Hennig.

    • @TKnowlesy
      @TKnowlesy Před 6 lety +4

      He's even said in promos that this is why he uses the name Axel. Poor research on their part

    • @Somnogenesis
      @Somnogenesis Před 6 lety

      Yes, they have this one arse-backwards, his surname is obviously derived from his grandfather's nickname. Still doesn't stop The Axe Man being an irrelevant nickname for Curtis mind.

    • @arjunrajmohan490
      @arjunrajmohan490 Před 6 lety

      Simon doesn't make these lists he just narrates

  • @Karriosartio
    @Karriosartio Před 6 lety +6

    I always thought that Big Shows nickname came from the fact that he is the largest (height × weight). Sure Shaq and Khali are taller, but then again he isn't called "The world's tallest athlete" is he?

  • @Black60Dragon
    @Black60Dragon Před 6 lety +2

    In case you didn't know, the Big Show is larger than both Khali and Shaq.
    They never said he was the World's Tallest Athlete. They said the biggest.

    The Punjabi Playboy but he never he posed for Playboy

    • @SeasideDetective2
      @SeasideDetective2 Před 6 lety +2

      It was a reference to his enjoyment of kissing girls when he first turned face.

    • @DYLANJJK94
      @DYLANJJK94 Před 6 lety

    • @juliuszondag5515
      @juliuszondag5515 Před 6 lety +17

      To WWE's credit, being the leader and creator are two different things. I can honestly accept that Seth was the creator but Dean was the leader

    • @hagridsdisappointingson769
      @hagridsdisappointingson769 Před 6 lety +8

      Yeah so did I, Roman was the muscle, seth was the high flyer and Dean was the leader

    • @devongrant3027
      @devongrant3027 Před 6 lety +1

      He started out the leader but it slowly turned into a group where everyone’s the leader

    • @benizjammmin
      @benizjammmin Před 6 lety +3

      I remember them as 3 alpha males trying to assert themselves as the ​leader. Although none of them ever fully stood out. They behaved more like a singular machine than three dudes teaming up.

    Curtis Axel is the "Axe Man" because his grandfather was Larry "The Axe" Henning. It's honoring his family. By the way, the name Curtis Axel honors both his father (Curt Henning) and his grandfather.

    Large does not mean tall. Big show is very tall and is also girthier than both Shaq and Great Khali (at least he used to be). So the "world's largest athlete" moniker did apply.

  • @Penguin619

    He's called The Axe Man because he's the grandson of Axe Hennig, just like how some last names can be directly transliterated to their family's job like Schumacher is Shoe maker and Blackman (or Smiths) is from Blacksmiths. And you forget, that you can be large (in terms of "the world's largest athlete") in other ways other than height.

    I believe the "Lunatic Fringe" nickname comes from a radio station in Cincinnati. Well, at least that's what I've heard. I could be wrong

    The axe part of Curtis Axels name comes from his grandad Larry “the axe” Hennig. So it does make sense

    I'm pretty sure they explained how Big Show was billed as the World's Largest Athlete, even when Khali was with the company and was taller. It was because Big Show still weighed more and he was the "largest" because he was the heaviest.
