He had multicolored hair and dyes it often. Also, that's a terrible nickname anyway.

Thus having someone who's nickname is "The Gold Standard" and his finisher being called "paydirt" is actually quite clever and not really "what the fuck" worthy.

First let me say, for going to the trouble of looking that up.

However, my "What the fuck" was not in regards to the origin of the word. If you have any sense of American history, you know what "paydirt" means. It just happens to be a really stupid name for a wrestling move. That's why I say "what the fuck".
