CB's Analysis - Key Snubs:
--Forget "The Bionic Redneck" for Steve Austin, what about "Stone Cold" or "The Rattlesnake"?!
--"The Brahma Bull" or "The People's Champion" for The Rock, anyone? That's a huge snub to say the least.
--I am admittedly a huge mark for him, but how about "The Bizarre One" for Goldust?

--Some more honorable mentions are "The Icon" Sting, "The Whole Damn Show" Rob Van Dam, "Long Island Iced Z" Zack Ryder, and my personal favorite new moniker: "The King of Swing" Cesaro
