YMMV / Gregory Helms

• Fan Nickname: His tag team with Kane, for obvious puntastic reasons, got the easy nickname of HurriKane.
• Fridge Logic: One of his ECW storylines was that Paul Burchill was trying to prove that Helms was the Hurricane. Problem was, WWE had been billing him since his return (and for part of this storyline) as Hurricane Helms. Midway through, someone caught on and the last name was quickly dropped.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: A superhero gimmick in the WWE, over half a decade before WWE went PG and superhero films became massively successful at the box office.
• Narm Charm:
  • 3-Count, especially their first theme.
  • The Hurricane. A wrestling superhero is a hard sell to fans (Just look at the reception for Nikki A.S.H.) but Helms turned a gimmick that would have killed most careers into a corny but quite fondly remembered character because it was so goofy.
• Never Live It Down: The infamous Gregory Helms titantron.
  "I made the dumb mistake of wearing sunglasses to the ring one night."
• Nightmare Fuel: His old finishing move the vertebreaker. It's quite possibly the most dangerous move in all of wrestling as it involves him dropping his opponent on their neck. If they're even slightly late getting their head into position it could result in their death. Unsurprisingly, and quite rightly, the WWE forbid him from ever using it.
