The Nickname Gag has been around for some time, but it's been getting annoying and repetitive recently, IMO. Especially considering most nicknames are just "*blank* Ninja" or "Ninja *Blank*". Although not all of these are bad. (Ex. Cowboy Ninja, Ninja Doc, etc.) I don't think it should stop, I just don't think EVERYONE should get/have a nickname. What do you think?

I've said that if Ken Hasagawa were to compete in ANW, he would be called the Ninja Ninja.

Pretty much all the most popular ninjas don't have ninja nickname cept for Grant and Drew. So I feel like the gag is used to try and push some other people to be recognizable so there are more to talk about "ninja" and the #ninja appears in more social media.
Personally I think it is dumb, but a lot of the people branded themselves with it so can't really blame NBC on this one.

Its about us being interested enough in a person to think "i'm going to remember this person", not "oh this person is the frog ninja lol thats funny i'll remember him even though he failed the quad steps" |

But I do think there is a place for nicknames and even joke competitors with nicknames (*cough* Mr. Octopus *cough*), as long as it doesn't feel like NBC is forcing them down our throats at the expense of the competitor's own branding. |

Remember when someone in Sasuke competed under the name "Yuuji Urushibara? That was his name, it wasn't a nickname he just happened to have a name sounding similar to someone far more notable, also that was Sasuke and not ANW, and even if it was ANW it wouldn't even be close to being on topic, it'd just be like if some guy who happened to have the name Jeff Brittan competed on ANW. |
