billyhoyle Posted March 23 Posted March 23 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?
