Wyatt needs a better nickname

[billyhoyle]

This guy just had the biggest upset ever (or at least since Dan Gable).  His name is Wyatt. He wrestles for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.  And the best nickname that we as a sport can think of for him is rehashing Captain America, which was a pretty unoriginal nickname when it was used for Kyle Snyder.   

Can't we think of some "Wyatt" related cowboy nickname? If we want to make it something more patriotic, how about something creative involving airplanes or the Air Force? Or anything other than the same boring Marvel superhero?

Anyone else miss the days of nicknames like the East Lansing Strangler, Funky, Kid Dynamite, King Cole, or The Great Pumpkin?

Both of these are better than Captain America, although top gun is about Navy Pilots. Still good though.

I've always thought The Newton Bomb would be great, not sure how he feels about it.

You want a better nickname than captain america, for a dude who makes the superhero look small?

No, he is captain america.

Only other one I’ll consider is the lion tamer.

Little Boy and Fat Man. I usually like your banter, even the spell-checking. I can't get down with this.

Yeah, that's why I started the thread. He deserves a better nickname than that.
