    Just wondering...

    I haven't heard anyone call him the same nickname consistently...

    I think Rick Kamla's "The Rim Reaper" is the best...

    Any others that you like?

    "The Rim Reaper" sounds like a bad porno name. Just terrible.

    Like it or not, Blake's nickname seems to be "The Poster Child." That's what people in the media keep calling him.

    I don't see why or how it could be anything else. It just works on too many levels.

    - unique and recognizable to him and him alone (few will associate it with Steve Blake, I imagine)
    - plays very naturally off of his real name.
    - also plays off the other L.A. team's nickname.
    - encompasses the fact that he is a one-man show.
    - doesn't sound like a p*rn name.

    As long as it's not BG32 or some variation of that, I'm fine.

    Why does everyone need a nickname? If you walk into LA and say "Blake" everyone knows who you're talking about.

    No.

    I've heard Blake Superior.

    Sounds all right.
