does shane have a nickname? if not.....
- Thread starter getsome01
- Start date
His nickname (as well as his username here on AZB I believe) is The South Dakota Kid.
Only one I have heard is THE SOUTH DAKOTA KID
The Natural is a good description though , he should have to wear sandals around the poolroom
How about "The Unnatural" then?
I think if he were to get a new name, it should be "Practice Freak"
I was thinking the same thing....kinda like Ben Hogan "the Hawk", but his nickname didn't come from pounding millions of balls either.
or maybe "table time"...lol, can you imagine how much he'da had to spend if he was charged to practice like we are???
Being nicknamed after a state is quite an honor.
As the saying goes, when playing for money, beware of those nicknamed after cities/states or animals.

I think when you say 'the South Dakota Kid' everybody in the pool world
knows who you're talking about.
Justin Collett from TAR fondly calls him Def Leppard......
...but that is a liberty a good friend can take.
Personally, I feel when you say 'Earl'...you know 'Strickland' comes next.
So I'm good with calling him 'Shane'....just like the movie.

The Cincinnati Kid wasn't a kid either. :grin:
That too. Pool has it's own traditions and styles for nicknaming players. Leave the bravado and crap for WWE. We have our own traditions.
Usually, pool does not use overtly threatening or intimidating nick names. Often, they are the complete opposite.
"The Pearl" ...how menacing is that! Yet, try and play Earl in his prime.
"Whimpy" ...haha. That's awesome. Again, good luck with that guy.
"Cool Cat" ...not exactly a nickname that will inspire fear, but watch as 200+ balls gets run on you.
How about " The Shaneinator" ?
Im not sure who your talking about here but i remember watching a fellow they called the cincinnati kid beat a guy out of 6 grand.From what i remember he didnt miss much.
