00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.559
All right, everybody, welcome to
another episode of Wrestle Magic, where tonight

2
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:23.160
my friend King Scully and I will
be talking about just bad gimmicks that we're

3
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.920
in the wrestling business for a few
years. So, without further ado,

4
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.640
my partner my Wrestle Magic UK team, King Scolly, King Scully, how

5
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:36.359
you doing, man, I'm very
good and thank you for the kind introduction.

6
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.479
How are you not too bad?
Man? So excited for this one.

7
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.719
Man, I know we've talked about
some bad gimmes, We've made fun

8
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.439
of them enough times, so I
just thought this would be a good episode.

9
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:56.000
How long have we been talking about
this now a few weeks and to

10
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.039
be fair, it's quite perfectic some
of it, isn't it. Yeah,

11
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.680
just reading up and watching videos about
some of these guys, it's like,

12
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.599
man, what were they thinking?
Who is this supposed to appeal to?

13
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.680
And I'm really excited to get into
this one, so further ado. To

14
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.280
start this off, I first picked
for one of the worst gimmicks in the

15
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.480
wrestling business. Was I'm gonna start
off with some of the more obvious ones.

16
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.959
I'm gonna go with mantar just because
God, what was the idea?

17
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.719
This was probably around that nineteen ninety
five era where they didn't really understand what

18
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.680
the people wanted, and they're throwing
out just annual gimmick and try and get

19
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:41.040
anything stick in that New Generation era
that was coming out, And they put

20
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:47.040
a giant bison head on this guy
and just sent him in and everybody was

21
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.719
asking like, well, what if
he gets in the ring and falls over?

22
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.000
And that's exactly what ended up happening
at one point, Scully, do

23
00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:00.200
you remember anything with Mantar? Yeah, memory looked have a bull and I

24
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.879
don't think anyone cared. Yeah.
Sounds about right, honestly. Man.

25
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.840
Once again, that nineteen ninety five
ish New Generation era, it just there's

26
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.080
something Gamix that really did not stick. All right, So on to the

27
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.800
next one, Scully, What was
your first pick then? So my first

28
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:30.319
pick is where fake Diesel. I
don't know what there was thinking. I

29
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.560
don't know why if it would be
a good idea to have Glenn Jacobs play

30
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:40.439
fake Diesel. Yes, he went
on to be Kane and everyone loves Kane,

31
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.759
but fake Diesel Nope. Only one
person could play Diesel, and that

32
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.240
was the original guy, Kevin Nash. But once he went to WCW that

33
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.479
was it WWF at the time before
it was a good idea to try,

34
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:01.360
and I don't know, mock Kevin
Nash and I don't think it worked,

35
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.400
do you, ah Man? So
I've heard a little bit about this that

36
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.039
WWE still owned the rights to the
name Diesel and the character. Same thing

37
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.639
with Razor Ramone, and they just
decided, Okay, well we still have

38
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.719
the rights to him, We're going
to use them. And then it just

39
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.840
fell flat. I feel like Glenn
Jacobs has always been a good wrestler,

40
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.439
but this just was not the character
for him. The Cane character is just

41
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.199
him personified at this point. I
don't feel like he can personify anything else.

42
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:39.080
So fake Diesel. I don't know
what they were thinking. Really,

43
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.639
he didn't look the part, didn't
really seem the part. I was definitely

44
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.120
not a fan of it, all
right, So next one for me,

45
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.919
I'm going to call out the gobbledee
gooker, who, if you guys didn't

46
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.280
know, was actually Hector Guerrero inside
the costume. For a couple of weeks,

47
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.039
they had this giant egg that they
kept showing and it was going to

48
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.360
be like, oh, some pig's
gonna come out of that soon and then

49
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:10.479
what ended up coming out of it
was a giant turkey and started dancing in

50
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:15.080
the ring, and the fans just
loathed it, and nobody liked that.

51
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.480
I guess it was supposed to be
some sort of new potential icon or mascot

52
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:26.920
I guess I should say for the
company, But nobody cared. Nobody wanted

53
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.120
to see that. You're in a
wrestling business and you want that to be

54
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.720
your mascot, and it makes no
sense. Heckor Burrow is a pretty good

55
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:41.639
performer. How would you put him
in the giant chicken suit? It just

56
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.560
seems so silly to me. Who
is this supposed to appeal to? Not

57
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.560
even the kids were interested. Scully, when did you think of that one?

58
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:55.839
Man? Well, I remember leading
up to it. I don't know

59
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:01.560
why the fans were excited and disappointed, because, I mean, what else

60
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.439
is going to come out of a
big giant egg? I mean, why

61
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.399
would you even be looking forward to
be surprised by a big giant egg?

62
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.720
Do you know what I mean?
Like, who's going to come out the

63
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.839
easter bunnet? No, what you
got was a big chicken thing, And

64
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.720
just like the other two we've already
mentioned. I'm pretty sure he was,

65
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.720
you know when he in a like
Battle Roil a few years ago as well.

66
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.240
And just like Mantor and Fake Diesel
who is also in roild Rumble Matches,

67
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.839
no one cared. You are dead
on with that. Nobody could have

68
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.279
cared about it, and honestly,
what were they thinking? But also you're

69
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.439
right, I mean, what else
were you really expecting to come out of

70
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.600
an egg? But I don't know, man, the wrestling world's full of

71
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.680
a lot of just random stuff like
that. So onto your next, big

72
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:06.480
budd So I've switched it a bit
because you said that one. I thought

73
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.759
it would only make sense if I
go with this one next, which is

74
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:20.560
Red Rooster played by Terry Taylor.
So obviously Terry Taylor. He was a

75
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.160
good wrestler and he had a lot
of promise. He came up through the

76
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.800
ranks. He was in the Jim
Crockett promotions, he was in the Mid

77
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:38.879
South Wrestling Universal Wrestling Federation, he
was in WCW. So, I mean

78
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:44.079
he was really popular. He was
a fan favorite in the Mid South region

79
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.439
and the fans loved him. And
then he comes to the WWF and what

80
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:55.720
did they do they make him at
some point turn heel and join Bobby the

81
00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.560
brainheenan And then his gimmick was the
red rooster and what did he do?

82
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:08.839
Have red tights, a ring coat, and then when he became a babyface

83
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:14.040
again, his hair he did like
a rooster comb and it was like a

84
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.240
red mok and food the middle of
his long hair. And I mean,

85
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:25.519
he had a lot of promise,
but the gimmick just never worked. I

86
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:32.000
don't know if you remember it.
So I have watched some things about him

87
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:38.639
and seeing the way that he would
walk in the ring and everything and try

88
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.519
to act almost like a rooster.
Once again, this is one of those

89
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:48.079
that who was going to care about
this? And that is what sometimes the

90
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:54.720
characters boil down to is if you
don't have anybody who this applies to,

91
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.759
why would anybody care? And there's
just some characters like somebody that's not on

92
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.480
either of our list we made sure
about is the ring master, who of

93
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.720
stone Cold himself had huge issues with
who was going to relate to that nobody

94
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.800
was going to want to see red
rooster versus the ring master at WrestleMania.

95
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.680
This was never going to work.
And I don't know whose idea it was

96
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.560
to think it would. But anyways, so my next pick is the Reboatman,

97
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.160
once again, one of those names
that you could never see on a

98
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.759
marquee because it just wouldn't make sense. Another one of those names that it

99
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:41.039
seemed like WWE and WCW for a
while they went back and forth around nineteen

100
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:48.480
ninety five ish making up these gimmicks
that were job related, and there's nothing

101
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.240
completely wrong with that, but some
just don't need it. And I mean

102
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.840
the way this guy looked, it
looked like the freaking Hamburglar from the McDonald's

103
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.000
group, whatever you want to call
that. I don't see once again,

104
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.039
who was going to relate to this
and think, man, that guy,

105
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.320
it's just like nobody could ever have
seen that. You don't really see much

106
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.879
of his content honestly from back when
it just seems a ridiculous sky. Do

107
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:20.919
you remember or know anything about this
guy? Yep, just like the other

108
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.679
ones. I seen him in Royal
Rumble Matches. I seen him running around

109
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:31.559
acting like he don't know what he's
doing. But I also know that the

110
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.519
Repo Man and Ted de Biossi,
the million Dollar Man, beat Virgil and

111
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:43.879
Tito Santana. So I mean,
I'm pretty sure that they felt embarrassed.

112
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:48.120
And I mean even went into the
nineteen ninety two Royle Rumble. He's snuck

113
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.279
into the ring after running around like
I don't know what he was doing.

114
00:09:50.600 --> 00:10:00.440
And then he even eliminated Nikolai Folkoff
and Greg Dhammer Valentine before being a dominated

115
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.279
by the big boss man. So
you imagine what they must think, Oh,

116
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:13.600
we got eliminated by this guy.
It's duke of a gimmick. Man

117
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.639
that is embarrassing to say the least. Oh, man, the worst this

118
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:28.919
list gets all right, onto your
next one. Man, Oh, I'm

119
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:35.960
going to go with Max Moon.
Well, the name itself tells you that

120
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:41.279
it's terrible. I mean, you
hear the name and you think, here

121
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.279
we go. I'm scared of a
wrestler card Max mun Who's going to be

122
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.080
scared of that guy? Do you
know what I mean? I mean,

123
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.799
I mean, I don't know if
you've seen his outfit, but he looked

124
00:10:52.879 --> 00:11:00.360
terrible, like I don't know if
it was some kind of weird superhero cheap

125
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:09.440
knockoff costume from the one of those
cheap shops where you could get fake costumes

126
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.919
from. But I don't know why
they thought it was a good idea,

127
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:20.159
but the costume itself, he didn't
even fit the soup. And that's not

128
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.120
even a joke. He didn't even
fit in properly. Looked absolutely silly.

129
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.279
And the worst thing is it is
played by Conah, you know co Nan

130
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:39.320
from WCW. I vaguely remember it. So looking at this guy his outfit,

131
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.159
the only thing that comes to mind
for me is Mega Man from the

132
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:50.559
video games. And that is not
a compliment. That is not something that

133
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.879
you should look to personify in a
sports entertainment ring. I guess we could

134
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:05.360
say, what was the idea here? Yeah, this whole gimmick doesn't really

135
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.440
make sense to me. It almost
looks like they tried to bring a video

136
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.720
game character to life, and and
I kind of feel bad for whoever had

137
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.120
to personify this. Why would they
subject anybody to have to do this?

138
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.919
That is so ridiculous? Man?
All right, So onto my next one.

139
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.600
I was just going to say,
sorry, do you know the worst

140
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.720
thing about it? No? What's
that? Man? He was actually called

141
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:37.480
the Comic Kid for a few matches
so before before they settled in Max Moon,

142
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.320
he was called the Comic Kid what's
worse the comic Kid or Max Smooth.

143
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.960
I think they're equally just as bad. My god, who was on

144
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:56.360
Creative thinking we need this to sell
a ten year old kid, maybe maybe

145
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.960
some kindred of a picture and thought
this guy be a wrestler, and then

146
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.120
it was like, let's try it. Yeah, okay, sorry about you

147
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.120
got hey, no problem, man, Hey, I'm glad that you jumped

148
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:15.039
in for that. All right.
So my next pick somebody who is known

149
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.519
as the YEDDI well, at least
I remember. I believe it was WCW

150
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.519
that they used to announce him as
the Yetay for every single thing that ever

151
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:30.159
happened. But I remember, similar
to the Gobbledegooker. His debut was I

152
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:35.080
believe, out of some sort of
iceberg, glacier, some sort of giant

153
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:41.919
ice block from what I remember,
And I just remember thinking, what was

154
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.600
the point of this. The guy's
like seven feet tall, dressed up as

155
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.679
a mummy. They're calling him the
Yetti. He doesn't seem like he's completely

156
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.960
incapable in the ring, but the
things that they're having him do just don't

157
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.519
look right. I remember there was
some sort of a bear hug that I

158
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.639
believe the Giant who is now known
as Big Show and the Yetty were doing

159
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.639
too hul Kogan, but it looked
like they were just hugging him and just

160
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.559
shaking. And I can't make this
up. If you guys look it up.

161
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.080
It is the most ridiculous looking thing
I've ever seen in a segment.

162
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.759
And I question, what was that
supposed to do to him? Why did

163
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:31.000
they create this character? Who was
supposed to Who feels anything with this character?

164
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.480
What kind of attachment? Who is
going to buy merch for this?

165
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.600
Why does this exist? And why
of all things did a mummy come out

166
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.320
of an iceberg? And why are
they calling that a yetti? None of

167
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.159
this adds up. None of this
makes sense? Why? Why? Why?

168
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:54.279
That's gully? Take it from me, man, I guess the only

169
00:14:54.639 --> 00:15:00.200
thing is it is that I is. And I think it seems, uh

170
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.720
the writers were crazy in the nighties
and they didn't know what they were doing.

171
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.360
I mean with some cases, yeah, you've got superstars out of it,

172
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.759
but then in other cases, like
the yetti whatever that was meant to

173
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:24.080
be, Yeah, you've got a
waste of space, that's what you've got.

174
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.639
Oh, totally agreed, man,
that was just God awful. Why

175
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.360
is all I can ask at this
point, and I hate to sound like

176
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.559
the angry video game nerd, just
completely asking why, why, why why?

177
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.919
But that's all I can think of
with this one. I mean,

178
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.200
the guy's over seven feet tall.
He was the fact that he is tall

179
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.840
as the gimmick. How many times
have they done in the past, and

180
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.240
it works? And Andre the giant
who mentally was a powerhouse, So that

181
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.799
makes sense. You've had the big
Show who pretty much the same gimmick,

182
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.559
and I just used the fact that
he's tall and say, just go in

183
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.039
there and do. Man. You
don't have to be insanely talented, but

184
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.000
you can cut a promo, you
can hit a few moves and you can

185
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.639
look at doing that. You will
do fine because you're gonna look tall and

186
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.279
dominant. That is all you really
needed, all right? I digress,

187
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.879
Scully. What's your next one?
Man, let's get off this one.

188
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.600
So my next one, because you
named that one, I thought I'd go

189
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:29.279
with another big guy. And we've
already mentioned the fake Diesel. Well,

190
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:36.120
this guy he played the real Diesel. But when he was in the wc

191
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:42.519
W, before he became Diesel,
he was a character known as Oz and

192
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:52.159
again another big dude, Kevin Nash, playing a character based on the Wizard

193
00:16:52.200 --> 00:17:00.679
of Oz from the children's book.
I mean, he comes out with some

194
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:07.720
stupid mask on with some weird dark
smoke effect coming down to their ring,

195
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:15.960
like he's all intimidated, coming down
with the great Wizard who kind of reminds

196
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:25.440
me of Gray Wyatt, Uncle Howdy
kind of thing. And yeah, I

197
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.880
don't know why they thought it would
work, but it looked terrible. And

198
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.480
then when he got in the ring, he took the mask off anyway to

199
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:41.359
reveal his proper face. What was
the point ofn't it? And the nineties

200
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:48.000
was such a weird time for wrestling
as I don't understand the idea. I

201
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.160
don't understand the demographic they were aiming
for. I just know that they did

202
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.720
it because they had nothing else to
do besides probably a mountain of cocaine in

203
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.200
the back. I don't know what
else could have possibly brought these thoughts further

204
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:10.000
than the table any other thoughts on
him? Skully, Yeah he's followed the

205
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:15.359
yellow out of air, thank god. And yeah, a fit. That's

206
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:22.079
enough about that loser, all right, fair enough? So the next guy

207
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:30.240
that I want to cover. Now
this one's a little weird. The Stormtrooper

208
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:37.319
is what he was called. Now, this guy, I don't believe the

209
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:42.880
character lasts very long for a very
good reason because the character himself was supposed

210
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.079
to be in the eighties portraying a
Nazi. He literally just came out,

211
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.640
had swastikas all over him, waved
a Nazi flag, and there wasn't really

212
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.480
much to the character from what I've
seen. Besides, it was a very

213
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.960
very way to get eat and it
seemed even classless in the eighties at that

214
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:03.640
point, Like, why would you
want this character to be around? It

215
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:10.880
seems strange at that point. I
understand wanting cheap heat, but going that

216
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:17.720
route, I feel like it's a
bit far as a heel. Maybe you'll

217
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.279
get a little bit of a reaction, and maybe you'll get people just annoyed

218
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:25.240
with you more than anything. But
I saw a point in this character,

219
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.839
and I saw him as very pointless
from the beginning. To be honest with

220
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:32.960
you, Scully, do you know
anything about this guy, because I know

221
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.839
he was in a I believe Smoking
Mountain Wrestling is where he made his debut

222
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.200
and where the character showed up and
died. Basically you know anything about him.

223
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.799
Yeah, it says a lot when
people say the shock Muster is more

224
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:53.279
entertaining. I think that says it
all. Really. I mean, at

225
00:19:53.359 --> 00:20:00.559
least the shock Muster fell through a
wall and on his debut and everyone found

226
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.480
somewhat funny about it. But this
guy, I don't know what they were

227
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:11.160
thinking. But again, as you
said, cheap heat, trying get him

228
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.839
some booze around the arena. But
yeah, he's costumed to have it.

229
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:26.400
But anyway, it was never gonna
work, was it. No, I

230
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.160
don't think it was. I think
it was doomed from the start. Honestly,

231
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:37.000
Yeah, I'm I'm really sure who
that would have Well, I guess

232
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.920
it would have made a lot of
people angry, and it would have been

233
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.279
a good way to get cheap heat
by other than that man. The storm

234
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.920
Trooper has to be one of the
worst ones. I saw no point in

235
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.039
this. I thought it was kind
of classless, to be honest with you,

236
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.359
man. But once again, I
digress back to your list. Men.

237
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:03.039
So I'm going to go with the
fake raisor Ramone. So I've said

238
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.279
the fake Diesel, so it's only
fair I say the fake Raise Ramone.

239
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:15.359
Now the nine thing about this is
Raised Ramone. Actually Scott Hall is the

240
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:19.839
Raised Ramone character is one of my
favorite characters, like one of my favorite

241
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:26.400
wrestlers. He'd been my top five
all time favorite wrestlers. And then when

242
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.559
you get a cheap knockoff like this, when Scott All and Keery Nash leave

243
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.160
the w F to go to WCW, you get a cheap knockoff like this

244
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:45.440
who tries to impersonate the bad guy
Raise Ramone and fails doing so. And

245
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:51.599
I get why they tried to do
it, just mainly just to hit back

246
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:57.359
at Scott All and Keery Nash.
But let's be honest, it didn't work.

247
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:06.640
It was doomed from start. And
I mean he wasn't very good either.

248
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.119
He was played by Rick Bogner,
who is no longer with us,

249
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:19.640
passed away on September twenty, twenty
nineteen. But as far as the character

250
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:26.200
goes the fake Ragier Amone, I
mean he had he had a few matches.

251
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.839
I mean he lasted a couple of
years, I think ninety six to

252
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:37.599
ninety seven, so I mean a
whole year of fakeness. And again he

253
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.519
was in Royal Umbulls. I remember
him in royal mumbles as well. I'm

254
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:48.960
pretty sure I've seen Stone Cold beat
him up in in one of them,

255
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:55.240
maybe the ninety seven one. But
yeah, it's just like, what was

256
00:22:55.279 --> 00:23:03.039
they thinking, really, what do
you think about him? Well? I

257
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.359
think he would have had a better
chance if they wouldn't have put him as

258
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.720
Raser Ramone, if they was come
up with a new character, or maybe

259
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.680
just had him go out as Rick
as himself, kind of like how Mick

260
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.640
Foley was when he was in TNA. Then it could have worked a little

261
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.799
bit better. But not as Razor
Razor Ramone. That was Scott Paul.

262
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:30.480
There is no replacement for somebody who's
personified a character so well, giving you

263
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:36.279
great promos, great vignettes, and
we still quote him to this day.

264
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:42.799
I mean on the show, I've
heard Rocky himself quote Raiser Ramone and his

265
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:51.240
famous quote about good guys last.
And you know that still kind of hangs

266
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:53.559
and looms over us a little bit. We still you know, I still

267
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.960
see it pop up on Facebook once
in a great while, fake Razor.

268
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:02.319
He was in a terms just because
hey, we're still on the rates of

269
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:07.039
the character, we should use them
anyways, And it just wasn't going to

270
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.079
work from the beginning. That was
doomed from the start, between both him

271
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:12.240
and the fake Diesel, and I
kind of feel bad for him. I

272
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:18.000
think they could have did him better
by just giving him something else. Any

273
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:26.799
last thoughts on him, Yeah,
I agree with you, Like, it's

274
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:32.079
a shame that that too, he
had to portray and try and impersonate.

275
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:37.799
He was never going to work.
It was Scott Hall's character. It was

276
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:42.759
his gimmick. He pretty much.
I think did EP gave Scott all the

277
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:48.559
idea. I think if I remember
correctly, I could be wrong, but

278
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:55.400
either way, like it was never
going to work with someone else trying to

279
00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:00.799
play it, especially as you said, when you say about masks and unmasked.

280
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.079
At least if you've got a mask
on and your body is similar to

281
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:12.160
the guy who originally portrayed it,
then people won't notice as much. But

282
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:17.519
when you can see their face and
you can clearly see it's not the same

283
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:25.440
guy and the original guys in the
other company is kind of silly. Really.

284
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.880
Oh, I totally agree, man. I mean, like, if

285
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:34.000
you guys listen to my sincar,
especially, you know how I feel about

286
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:41.000
the fact that they took his character
put it on a pornico just because well,

287
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.640
they didn't have a Sincara for the
moment. They decided to use them

288
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.759
differently, and basically, once Sincara
did come back, you know how things

289
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.920
went if you listened anyways. So
next one on my list racked a man

290
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:03.799
O God that was such heat terrible, terrible idea. They decided to try

291
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.279
to rip off Spider Man. Basically, guys, if you look him up,

292
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.559
it is such a clear and obvious
copy. It is terrible. I

293
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:18.279
do not recommend anything be ripped off
so easily. And apparently the company got

294
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.839
sued for a little bit because Marvel
did not want them using Spider Man's likeness

295
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:30.920
because it was too too obvious.
I don't really understand how they thought they

296
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:34.359
could get away with that, besides
the fact they changed the colors a little

297
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:40.319
bit too. I believe it was
purple and yellow and man, why this

298
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:44.960
is just one of those that I
guess maybe it could have worked if Spider

299
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:51.720
Man didn't exist, but it doesn't
make sense. I mean, he was

300
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:53.279
in the ring, and I believe
at one point he was doing like some

301
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:57.119
of those magic tricks where he'd see
like something that looks like webs shoot out

302
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:03.839
of his hands, and man,
it just looked Okay, I'll give him

303
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.480
some prop I think. I don't
know, man, this was just dumb.

304
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.759
I never saw the point in that, but I'd aggress on that.

305
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:15.640
Skully. Do you have anything to
say about this guy? Do you remember

306
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:21.799
him performing at all? That chance? Only really on videos that I've been

307
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:30.519
watching, like recently. Was his
music a Ratna? Man? Man,

308
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.720
do you reckon that was his music? Like? I mean, I haven't

309
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:40.799
even seen his entrance music. I
wouldn't do it like it might it might

310
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:45.240
have worked if he swung down from
the rafters maybe and climbed the walls.

311
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:49.799
I don't know. It was a
terrible idea. I mean, could they

312
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.400
not get a decent costume? If? I mean, like, what is

313
00:27:53.480 --> 00:28:02.559
with these terrible gimmicks with cheap costumes? I mean is like they just made

314
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:07.799
it theirself out of like some cheap
fabric, like got one of their kids

315
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:12.519
to make it not even look like
an adult made it. I don't know

316
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:19.839
what they were thinking again, Like
it was never gonna work, right right,

317
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:25.680
I mean the first idea of this
was maybe they were reading Marvel comics

318
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:26.960
and thought, hey, maybe we
can change it just enough. They won't

319
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:32.000
care. No Marvel, they care. They want their money, especially now

320
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.640
they're owned by Disney. Disney cares. They're not gonna let you get away

321
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:38.039
with that crap. But anyways,
yeah, I digress on that one.

322
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.319
That may have been his entrance views. I honestly I could have seen it,

323
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:47.119
and that could have been probably the
best thing they could come up with,

324
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.000
because they probably stole the idea in
the first place. Anyways, it's

325
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.000
no wonder they got the cease and
desist. All right, back to your

326
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:59.160
list, man, Okay, seeing
as you chose him, I'm gonna again,

327
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:06.559
because you said about the fake web
thing, I'm gonna have to choose

328
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:15.799
the guy known as Fantasio the Magician
the well, I think he was meant

329
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:22.400
to be a magician, But again, what were they thinking? I mean,

330
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:27.119
I think this would work if it
was an actual magician playing the character,

331
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:33.519
like someone who was actually good at
magic tricks. But I don't think

332
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:38.839
this guy was. But he was
played by dal Rios, not Alberto dal

333
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:47.319
Rios. His actually named Harry dal
Rios. And yeah, he when he

334
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:52.480
came as he was meant to be
a babyface and he wore like a black

335
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:59.400
and white MEMI mask, which it'd
hand to the young fan sitting that ringside

336
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:04.200
a bit like at Heartwood with his
glasses, and then he'd have matching face

337
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:11.359
paint underneath, so he'd take the
mask off. And yeah, and I'm

338
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:17.400
pretty sure he only had one match
and on on Telly or whatever. And

339
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:22.119
I watched that match, and he
thought Tony de Vito, not Danny de

340
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:30.319
Vita, Tony de Vito, and
it was really bizarre, like the stuff

341
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:37.480
that was going on. He magically
removed the Vitos box are shorts. I

342
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:45.319
mean that was a bit odd.
And again he used some like a bit

343
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.559
like a spiderweb, but it wasn't. It was like, I don't know

344
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.119
what it was, but yeah,
it was terrible. It looked fake.

345
00:30:52.319 --> 00:31:00.279
He looked rubbish, another cheap prop
that didn't work. And yeah, like

346
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:07.480
anyone will care about the character like
that. And I hear you. I

347
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.240
think it would have been more entertaining
if he was against Stanny Devita. Honestly,

348
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.720
that could have been hilarious and I
would have probably watched that match over

349
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.400
and over again. I think I
know what you spot you were talking about

350
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.559
with the I want to say,
almost like confetti or streamers coming out of

351
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.720
his hand something like that, a
trick of that sort, And I think

352
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.480
you're right, it would have been
more entertaining if it was an actual magician

353
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.400
in the ring. Come on,
how cool would be if David Copperfield just

354
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:38.279
appeared in the ring and actually did
something more interesting than most? Can you

355
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:44.359
imagine if all of a sudden it's
like he made his opponent disappear instead instead

356
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:48.319
of just his boxer shorts. That's
a little once again, I kind of

357
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.920
feel like that was probably in that
time of writing where things were going a

358
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.559
little bit more family friendly and they
wanted to get to laugh out of the

359
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:02.480
kids. Maybe that is probably the
only way that I can justify that happening.

360
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.519
The character from what i've heard,
scrap pretty quick because once again,

361
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.799
nobody cared. But anyways, so
I also want to let you guys know

362
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.920
here in the UK, we're kind
of having some really high wind stuff.

363
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.319
So you might hear this high pitch
sound every once in a while on both

364
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:22.839
of our ends because we're both getting
it kind of you can hear it from

365
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:28.440
our window seals and everything. But
i'd digress on that anyways, Scully,

366
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:37.839
do you have any more thoughts on
Pantasia, Not really, what else can

367
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:44.440
you say. I'm just glad he
disappeared to be honest, his final trick

368
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:50.599
was making his career disappear. Anyways, on to the next guy. So

369
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:58.039
this gimmick I actually grew up seeing
and I remember being very confused the entire

370
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:07.119
time at this wrestler did anything.
It was Funkasaurus. My god, what

371
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:14.440
the hell was that they had this
guy, Brutus Clay. He looked big,

372
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:19.720
he looked scary, he was even
Snoop Dogg's old security guard at one

373
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:25.279
point, and yet they decided to
give him a dancing gimmick. I guess

374
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:30.599
it's not the worst thing that could
have happened. Yes it was. It

375
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:34.119
was the worst thing that could have
potentially happened. I am scarred for life

376
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:37.480
after seeing that. Over so many
years they brought in. I believe it

377
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:42.480
was Naomi and Cameron Worthy dancing girls
that joined him at a certain point.

378
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:47.960
And I believe Naomi now known as
a god. I believe she's known by

379
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.119
Trinity now in TNA. I guess
at least it gave her a little bit

380
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:57.319
of a rise in her career.
She's become a pretty good wrestler. I

381
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.880
will say so, I'm glad for
that, But Brutus Clay, I'm not

382
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:02.839
going to say that it was like
a waste of his talent or anything,

383
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.079
because you've actually moved on to nWay
and he's done better things. But man,

384
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.719
what was going on? Was this
a punishment gimmick or something? Man,

385
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:19.159
I don't understand this one at all. You had this huge dude and

386
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.079
you decided to even a dancing gimmick. Can I believe even had an extended

387
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:30.400
spot at WrestleMania. What was going
on here? I don't understand. You

388
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:36.559
want to have a wrestling company and
you want to portray like, oh yeah,

389
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:38.599
this guy's a real, real tough
dude. Of first he's going to

390
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:42.840
dance in front of you. This
makes no sense. Man, Scully,

391
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:46.880
I know you've seen him at some
point. Please tell us about your experiences

392
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:55.760
and your trauma from Funkosaurus. Somebody
call my mama. Somebody call my mama.

393
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:07.000
It was terrible. We come out. He looked like like a big

394
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.039
version of the Godfather, really didn't. He like a big himp sort of

395
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:17.719
thing with his red at He's a
red jacket, fake added ass jacket.

396
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.880
Or was it a real added ass
jacket? I can't remember. But for

397
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:32.679
a big guy, he looked good. But that Gimmick certainly did not look

398
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:39.639
good come down dancing. But looking
at him, looking at him without all

399
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:46.159
that rubbish, you see why he
went on to better things as Tyrus in

400
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:51.599
the n w A. But I
don't know why they thought that would be

401
00:35:51.639 --> 00:36:00.039
good at six foot seven guy coming
out dancing with two women by his side.

402
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:06.559
And don't get me wrong, you
weren't you weren't. Heain't a bad

403
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:08.800
wrestler at all. He was quite
easy all right in the ring. But

404
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:16.960
yeah, I don't see why,
ifore it would work or why. I

405
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:23.360
guess it was another fincement man Gimmick, would new agree? Oh definitely,

406
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.039
man, And I like how you
said that about he kind of just looked

407
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:30.239
like a bigger version of the Godfather. I never noticed that until now,

408
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.239
now that I think about it.
You're right, that is the most dead

409
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.239
on thing that I have ever thought
about. Now that you've put that in

410
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.360
my head, Holy crabs, Going
all right, onto the next one,

411
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:50.559
Man, who's next on your list? Dude? Who should I have next?

412
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:59.079
I'm gonna go with because one of
the members. So this is at

413
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:05.079
one person. This isn't two people, this is five. And I'm going

414
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:12.760
to go with this group because as
well, like most recently, Nick Nammuth

415
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:22.039
aka Dolf Ziegler just debuted in TNA. And but when he first came in,

416
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:29.159
he was part of a group known
as the Spirit Squad. And I

417
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:35.719
mean, how scary would you be
if a bunch of cheerleaders men cheerleaders run

418
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:39.039
down the ring to beat you up. I'm sure you will be really intimidated,

419
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:44.480
and you'd be really scared and you
jump over the ropes and run away

420
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:51.679
through the crowd, said no one
ever. But yeah they had I remember

421
00:37:52.880 --> 00:38:00.119
they feuded with d X Triple H
and sure Michaels so to be Fat had

422
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:07.440
quite the feused it with quite a
big few names, especially for how it's

423
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.880
how about the gimmick was? I
mean, what do you remember about it?

424
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.920
Okay, the Spirit Squad, I
remember they were allowed kind of annoying,

425
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.920
and I guess that may have been
a way for them to give some

426
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.119
cheap heat or to get some cheap
heat, I guess I should say,

427
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:29.320
but realistically, that's another one of
those where you just look at it and

428
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:34.559
you just go whose ideal was this? I can't see that being any sort

429
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:40.920
of a dynasty like Evolution or the
Nation of Domination or DX at any point

430
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:45.079
in their career. I mean,
at least one of them made a career

431
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:51.360
out of it and he's still doing
well. I was always, you know

432
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:55.159
what, I liked Dolf Ziegler while
he was RWWE, and with everything going

433
00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:00.320
on TNA, I look forward to
what he has to offer. But whatever

434
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.960
that was, at the time,
it just seemed like, all right,

435
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.320
we're gonna take these five guys.
They might be potentially the best week out

436
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.280
that just came through this new recruiting
class. We're just gonna shotgun them in

437
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.800
and hope for the best, is
what It kind of seemed like. I

438
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:23.039
really don't like the gimmick. I
never really did, And thinking about it,

439
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:30.639
You're right, who would be intimidated
by that? Who relates to that?

440
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:37.360
Besides maybe some collegiate cheerleaders. It
just makes no sense. I'm I'm

441
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.159
at a loss here, man.
All right, do you have any closing

442
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:47.360
thoughts on the Spirit Squad? I
mean, can you believe it that they

443
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:52.519
beat Big Show and Kane for the
type team titles Big Show and Kane,

444
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:58.039
but the well two of them did. I mean, it's any fad I

445
00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:05.199
name as well. Let's name the
members Kenny, Mikey, Johnny, Mitch,

446
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:12.199
and Nicky. I mean even their
names are scary, the individual names.

447
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.559
I'm really scared of Johnny and Mitch. I mean, I better run,

448
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:22.239
I better go and hide under the
ring before they come down and hit

449
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:28.480
me with their pomp poms and sing
some cheerleading songs about me. I mean,

450
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:31.679
it wasn't going to work. It
wasn't going to be scary. I

451
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:35.480
mean, I can't say it wouldn't
work, because it did work for a

452
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:38.679
bit, But my point is it
weren't going to work long term. And

453
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:47.199
Dolf Zigler Nick Nemuth is the one, the only one really who lasted around.

454
00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:53.159
I mean Kenny had a little go
after remember him being on SmackDown for

455
00:40:53.199 --> 00:41:02.320
a while. But other than that, yeah, they went great. All

456
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.440
right, I just got one quick
question for you before we move on to

457
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:10.639
my next guy. Did you ever
see the kid's movie Hoodwinked? Because I

458
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:16.559
remember there was a part in it
that near the end, the main villain

459
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:21.280
finally reveals himself and everything and he
starts going through all of his henchmen and

460
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:22.920
telling him what to do. When
he gets to warm him, he goes,

461
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.880
Keith, Damn, change your name, man, it's not scary Keith,

462
00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:30.760
watch out for Keith. That's all
that I can think of with everything

463
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:35.199
that we just talked about. But
all right, so next on my list

464
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:39.159
the Shockmaster, the guy who we
could have probably called him a stormtrooper because

465
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:45.039
he actually wore a stormtrooper helmet and
even worse it was been dazzled and he

466
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:51.360
crashed through a wall for his tabut
and the helmet came off. Now,

467
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:59.920
the person behind the mask was actually
a very good wrestler, very talented,

468
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:05.519
very respected, but this character,
they gave him a goofy voice, probably

469
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:09.760
one of the goofiest gimmicks possible,
and it is going to always be remembered

470
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:15.920
as one of the funniest debuts that
you could ever see. Where he just

471
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:20.559
shoots through that wall, those fake
bricks, You see them go flying,

472
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.440
you see him trip over it,
he falls on his face in that mask.

473
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:29.840
Well, the helmet itself just falls
off, and that is the most

474
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:34.159
memorable thing about him, sadly,
and maybe the fact that later on they

475
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:37.880
kind of brought it back as the
super shock Master. I don't know what

476
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:43.840
they were trying to do with that
necessarily, besides maybe try to use the

477
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.840
character a little bit more, because
I don't know, they probably already owned

478
00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:51.599
the rights and decided, what we
can't afford to make up anything else right

479
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:53.599
now, let's try to add a
little bit more to this other thing and

480
00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:59.519
maybe it'll get over. But as
we all know, it went nowhere because

481
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:05.320
what was there? Nobody cared.
It is funny though they decided, well,

482
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:07.679
we got this movie prop helmet,
what if we been tasseling. I

483
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:12.199
think it's super shiny for everyone you
see, and then maybe it'll work.

484
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:17.079
Yeah, that's really scary. The
dazzled Stormtroopers, Scully, I know you

485
00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:25.199
have to remember this talk about Buddy. I remember the big, littery,

486
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:32.679
sparkly helmet, and I remember him
walking through the paper walls and falling through

487
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:40.159
it and falling on his but and
his helmet falling off, and him looking

488
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:46.679
like a clown. Well not literally, but he looked pretty silly. And

489
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:52.360
I don't know why they thought this
character would work. But again, it's

490
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:59.079
more entertaining than the Stormtrooper. But
that's that's all the props I can give

491
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:06.800
it totally fair man. You know, I wonder if they could have potentially

492
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.440
led to Darth Paige for making an
appearance as well. Maybe just the whole

493
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:12.639
Star Wars cast could have been a
part of it. Maybe they would have

494
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:15.280
had some sort of weird version of
Jedi that wouldn't have made any sense for

495
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:20.039
some reason. W c W would
have said, that's it, that's what

496
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.840
we need, all right. I
digress on that onto your next one there,

497
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:35.400
Skully. So my next one,
I'm gonna choose Dave Sullivan. So,

498
00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:42.440
Dave Sullivan, the dyslexic brother of
Kevin Sullen, who regularly mispronounced his

499
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:49.159
own full name as Evard. I
mean, it reminds me a bit of

500
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:54.960
Eugene, a little bit like,
but I think Eugene was more successful,

501
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:00.840
and obviously it was the years later. I didn't see how this was going

502
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:07.960
to work. I mean, apparently
he hated hult Cogan, but yet he

503
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:19.280
sort of dressed like him, if
that makes sense. So like at first

504
00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:23.920
he was his biggest fan, well, Dave Sullivan was his biggest fan,

505
00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:30.880
Hult Cogan's biggest fan, but Kevin
hated hult Cogan, so and then therefore

506
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:37.039
it would make sense to make some
weird finger on between the three of them.

507
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:40.519
And I don't know. I don't
get why they thought this was going

508
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:49.519
to work, But I don't know
what you remember about it. Ah.

509
00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:52.559
This is one of those gammikes that
I feel like it's just disrespectful in all

510
00:45:52.599 --> 00:46:05.559
honesty to take something that's almost like
a disability in a way and then use

511
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:09.199
that or a just learning disability,
I believe, so to use that as

512
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:14.519
a gimmick and then throw it out
there and be like, you know,

513
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:19.639
here we go and basically have this
guy get made fun of in promos and

514
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:23.280
whatnot. It almost feels like you're
making fun of everybody that has that.

515
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:25.960
Do you really think people are going
to want to keep tuning into that or

516
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:30.519
are they going to turn it off
and say f that company. I don't

517
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:37.280
see why you would think anybody would
really relate to that. In fact,

518
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:44.159
I feel like more people would feel
repulsed by that a dyslexic character, Like

519
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:46.719
if they would have done it right
and maybe not made it as comical,

520
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:52.000
Okay, it could have sort of
worked. It could have. Or maybe

521
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:54.400
if they were just took one of
their wrestlers and like made it a big

522
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:59.079
revealed thing like, oh yeah,
he actually has dyslexia, but he doesn't

523
00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:00.400
really let it affect him, still
doing great things. Look at them.

524
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:04.440
It would have been a positive thing. And so they made a whole character

525
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:08.800
around he's dyslexic and he can't even
say his own name. Right, that's

526
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:15.840
just sad. I really don't like
that. But okay, so any closing

527
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:17.480
thoughts on if it's a litle bit, Now that I've got my rant out

528
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:25.039
about that, I totally agree with
you. It was disrespectful to like people

529
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:35.360
who actually suffer with dyslexia. I
mean, like it's not therefore they got

530
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.880
it. And then here they are
making up some character pretending he's got it

531
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:46.639
and pretending to be the biggest fan
of whole Cogan and then pretending to fall

532
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:51.880
in love with Kimberly and then have
a feud with Diddp. I mean,

533
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:54.519
like what the hell is that?
I mean, like, why did they

534
00:47:54.559 --> 00:48:02.400
think this would work? I'm not
so twised eventually left because it was never

535
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:07.280
going to be a long term thing, like we've established with a lot of

536
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:13.480
these gimmicks. I mean, imagine
like one of these people who we spoke

537
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:17.719
about becoming like the face of the
company, the champion, who was never

538
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.000
going to work with it. So
what is the point of all of these

539
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:29.320
characters who've spoke about agreed man?
So because you brought up that character,

540
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:32.559
I'm going to bring up a character
that he didn't last very long at all.

541
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:39.679
So this gimmick was actually Jim Knightheart
in a mask from what I've heard,

542
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:46.840
and the character's name was who that
was it? And the whole point

543
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:51.639
was so that while he was wrestling, there could be a bunch of dumb

544
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:57.599
jokes from the commentary table. So
you had Vince and I believe Jerry Lawler's

545
00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:00.920
going back and forth with a bunch
of dad jokes about who who who Who?

546
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:07.119
Yeah who? That's all it really
was. This. I don't even

547
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:13.119
know what to describe this gimmick as
besides what the whole point was. It

548
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:16.519
was a joke. There's nothing else
to it, and honestly, it wasn't

549
00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:21.079
going to go anywhere. This is
just one of those that didn't even deserve

550
00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:24.159
the screen time. Put a mask
on Jim Knightheart and just make a bunch

551
00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:29.920
of bad jokes, which I'm all
for dad jokes, but come on,

552
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:35.559
man, that was just bad idea? Whose idea was this? Scully?

553
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:44.760
Do you know who? What?
When? Why? Who are you on

554
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:54.079
about? Sorry? Yeah, exactly
who? But yeah, I digress.

555
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:58.880
I think there's not really much to
be said about this guy, but I

556
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:01.400
just wanted to throw him in because
that's one of my least favorite gimmicks that

557
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:06.039
has happened. So on the next
one, Scully, let's get through.

558
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:16.800
Yeah, well, this one was
very awkward, very dodgy, very what's

559
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:24.159
the word very cringey? Beaver cleavage, I mean, what was they thinking?

560
00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:30.239
So headbangers Frashier and Mosh, who
were a successful tag team. I

561
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:35.519
mean I went a fan of them
as such, but there was a successful

562
00:50:36.519 --> 00:50:42.159
tag team and then Fresher get to
knee injury, so they decide to make

563
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:53.480
Mosh be this weird obsessed, fetish
mom loving weird though, and yeah it

564
00:50:53.559 --> 00:51:00.039
was really weird, Like did our
exchange sexual INNDROS? I mean, I

565
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:06.559
mean missus cleavage his so called mother
would offer Beaver some mother's milk when he

566
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:13.119
complained that his cereal was dry.
I mean, he really didn't last long

567
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:19.719
at all. I think it was
quickly scrapped. I mean, I don't

568
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:23.079
know why they thought it was a
good idea. But on that note,

569
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:30.480
I also heard that fincer Man wanted
to do speaking of this sort of topic,

570
00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:37.920
fince that Man wanted to do some
weird thing with Stephaniemmn, his own

571
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:44.119
daughter. I also read so rich. I'm glad they didn't do that because

572
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:52.239
this was bad enough. Okay,
lord, I I don't even think I

573
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:57.119
want to know what he wanted gimmick
wise with his daughter. That just sounds

574
00:51:57.159 --> 00:52:04.960
strange. But gimmick was a disaster, and I'm glad that they figured out

575
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:10.039
very quickly it was not going well
and nobody liked it. And I believe

576
00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:14.840
I also heard that after that gimmick
went down, they also came up with

577
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:20.599
another gimmick for the member of the
Headbangers that you're talking about, where they

578
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:30.320
decided, okay, let's give you
almost like a abusive relationship sort of gimmick,

579
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:37.400
And apparently that ended with finding out
that the woman in the relationship with

580
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:39.719
him was actually lying and he never
did hit her, but she was faking

581
00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:43.320
it and like putting on makeup to
make it look like she had black eyes

582
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:50.239
and everything from him. But both
of those gimmicks, what the heck were

583
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:54.840
they doing? Why whose idea was
it to just say, Okay, we're

584
00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:59.000
gonna give you this really awkward one, man, can you handle it?

585
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:00.079
And then as soon as they back
after, it's like, hey, that

586
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:02.840
didn't really work so well? How
about this one instead? Do you think

587
00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:07.679
you can handle this one? Both
just as bad? Well, the first

588
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:14.920
one definitely worse. Why would you
want an incest sort of gimmick on your

589
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:21.159
TV, even for like Attitude?
That's really no, that's beyond weird for

590
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:23.239
Attitude. I don't even know what
time period that would fit into. I

591
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:28.159
don't think if it's in any time
period. That's just strange. And then

592
00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:31.639
to go from there to the abusive
relationship gimmick that he ended up in.

593
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.280
I guess that one kind of worked
more for Attitude ere I could see it

594
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:40.599
happening, but maybe not the way
that they did it, you know what

595
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:45.039
I mean? Man, I mean
it could have worked, just not the

596
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:50.760
way that they played it out.
To have the fake abuse thing spouse is

597
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:55.760
actually lying and then change things up. I guess that could have panned out

598
00:53:55.760 --> 00:54:00.800
a little bit better, but god, different cleavage. That's a that's a

599
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:05.760
rough one, dude. But all
right, So last one on my list

600
00:54:06.719 --> 00:54:12.920
Moppy, Oh, poor Perry Saturn, this dude. So from what I've

601
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:17.199
heard, this whole thing was a
punishment gimmick, and sadly it was the

602
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:20.920
gimmick that got him the most over
in w W, even though he was

603
00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:25.320
very, very talented, and the
man had to pretend he fell in love

604
00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:31.440
with a mop? Do I need
to say more? How low in your

605
00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:36.639
career can you go than pretending to
be in love with you the mop?

606
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:43.760
I understand it was a punishment,
but man, that is rough. Can

607
00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:45.239
you imagine you go to your job
and your boss is like, hey,

608
00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:51.159
man, you really messed up last
week. You have to pretend to be

609
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:52.639
in love with that broom over there. That's all your fault. You have

610
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:55.920
to dance with it, you have
to love it, you have to kiss

611
00:54:55.960 --> 00:55:00.199
it. Who's sixth sense of humor
besides Vince's could come up with us?

612
00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:05.039
That is. It's cruel and unusual
punishment, in my opinion, and I

613
00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:09.519
absolutely just hate that they did it
to him. He went into it wholeheartedly.

614
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:14.920
At least he tried. I'll give
him that, but man, maby,

615
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.719
I just hated that. Scully.
I think you probably remember MAPI more

616
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:23.440
than I do. And you probably
know more about Perry Saturn than I do

617
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:28.960
as well, So take the reins, my friend, let's get through it.

618
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:36.519
Yeah, Perry sat In a very
good wrestler, did good in w

619
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:45.079
CW. Comes to the WW with
the Malnka and Eddie Guerrero obviously and Benore

620
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:52.519
and yeah, at first it was
all good, and then, as you

621
00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:58.320
said, he got punished apparently,
and then he asked to pretend he loves

622
00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:00.920
him. I mean, the mop
had a cute little face on it,

623
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:07.599
and he'd sit with it, he
is, breakfast with it, and then

624
00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:13.159
probably I don't know, clean the
floor with it and then go and dance

625
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:15.840
to it. I don't know.
But it was weird, but it was

626
00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:22.039
quite popular. The weird thing was
he did quite well with it and it

627
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:27.280
did actually get a reaction, and
like these other ones we spoke about,

628
00:56:27.760 --> 00:56:31.679
but yeah, it was. It
was this terrible idea for someone so talented

629
00:56:31.679 --> 00:56:40.320
as Perry Saturn. And I believe
he's had some demons recently for a while

630
00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:45.280
and he's I think he's trying to
get over that in real life. But

631
00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:50.840
yeah, that was just maybe keep
streaming of a mop. I don't know,

632
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:57.639
but I don't know a bit like
El Snow and the Head. I

633
00:56:57.639 --> 00:57:02.239
don't know why they thought it was
a good idea. I mean, also

634
00:57:02.360 --> 00:57:07.480
when the Head did kind of well, I mean, the demographic definitely got

635
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:09.079
behind it, and it was definitely
better than his prior gimmicks. If you

636
00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:15.199
guys don't know about his gimmicks before
that WWE, they were kind of rough.

637
00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:21.360
But all right, so mappy man
that was I just hate that they

638
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:23.639
really gave that to them, But
hey, he got over with it.

639
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:29.440
But anyways, all right, do
you know toy story saying that do you

640
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:32.079
reckon? They got four K?
They got the idea for four ky for

641
00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:37.920
Moppy and it's a fork and a
But they put a little face on the

642
00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:43.199
foot, didn't they? Scully your
genius be right, you might be onto

643
00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:46.440
something. Can you imagine they were
watching w W and they thought let's use

644
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:52.559
that. Yeah, later it finally
comes into effect. All right, man,

645
00:57:52.000 --> 00:58:00.800
bring it home. Let's end this
one, okay, So last and

646
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:13.440
making our twentieth is it our twentieth? Name is Kerwin White. I mean,

647
00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:16.519
I don't know why they did this, but as we all know,

648
00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:29.079
Chavo Guerra related to Eddie Gerra,
his nephew they had a great career as

649
00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:38.599
the lost Guerrero's. Obviously, Chavo
went from face to heal Healed's face.

650
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:45.960
But then they decided that he should
have a new gimmick and he was called

651
00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:51.000
Kerwin White. And I don't know
why they thought this would be a good

652
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:59.039
idea. I mean, after he
was battered by the Mexican faction, the

653
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:08.159
Mexicos, he changed his personal to
occurring white, a stereotypical middle class white,

654
00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:15.119
conservative Anglo American man. He dyed
his hair blonde, and he drove

655
00:59:15.159 --> 00:59:19.480
a golf cart to the ring,
which had golf clubs in the back.

656
00:59:19.519 --> 00:59:27.000
Obviously, and soon after he made
his date debut, he started making suggestive

657
00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:32.800
remarks towards African Americans, Hispanics,
Asian Americans, Native Americans, and other

658
00:59:32.920 --> 00:59:39.800
non week white people, specifically directed
towards Shout and Benjamin. So basically he

659
00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:47.440
was a racist character. He even
thought about being in the Ku Klux Klan

660
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:53.519
and stupid things like that. He
hired we spoke about him earlier. He

661
00:59:53.599 --> 01:00:01.920
hired Dolfzigler aka Nick Nemmuv at some
point help him in these matches as his

662
01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:15.159
caddy. But yeah, I don't
think having a racist on TV was going

663
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:20.679
to end, well, what did
you think of Kerwin White? Kerwin White's

664
01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:25.800
character? How do I put this? I guess maybe they thought this could

665
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:34.079
be a way to get heat from
anybody who was maybe just looking past the

666
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:37.639
heel character that he personified, because
let's be real, man, he was

667
01:00:37.639 --> 01:00:39.639
a pretty good heel for a long
time. I mean, I have some

668
01:00:39.719 --> 01:00:44.320
respect for him as a heel.
Even when they gave him some kind of

669
01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:49.320
crappy matches and everything and made his
gimmick more or less of a joke,

670
01:00:50.599 --> 01:00:53.000
he still kind of held on and
still did what he felt he needed to

671
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:55.760
do, and he still went in
the ring and did his thing. But

672
01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:04.239
man, Herwin White, just that
he denounced his heritage and decided he was

673
01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:10.199
white. That's just dumb. I
have no other real words or insight on

674
01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:19.440
it. Besides, you took what's
kind of personifying him in the ring because

675
01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:22.519
he obviously has that a Guerrero heritage
going for him. That's a huge deal.

676
01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:27.079
And you're just gonna say, yeah, he doesn't want to be associated

677
01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:30.599
with that anymore. He's gonna be
you know, he's gonna act like he's

678
01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:36.480
just a straight white guy now and
be the very stereotypical, rich white boy

679
01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:44.039
type of stereotype. I'm not entirely
sure whose idea that could have been.

680
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:45.679
You know, maybe it was his
own, and maybe he just thought,

681
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:49.760
you know, this could be funny
to make fun of. Whoever. But

682
01:01:51.079 --> 01:01:53.559
you know what, it's in the
past. I'm glad that it's staying there.

683
01:01:54.199 --> 01:02:00.079
I hope no character could be even
close to that. Ever. Again,

684
01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:06.239
all right, Scully, we're at
our twenty, so you have any

685
01:02:06.280 --> 01:02:13.199
closing costs for us? Man,
Well, this was quite fun. I

686
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:19.639
was gonna say one little quote about
Chavo Guerra what you pitched to Fince,

687
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:27.280
But I think we've said everything we
need to say now. Yeah, this

688
01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:30.679
was a fun episode. I mean, we've got to speak about the childish,

689
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:37.760
pathetic, silly, and there's no
there's no army in being silly as

690
01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:46.159
long as it's entertaining. And I
don't think most of these was totally agree

691
01:02:46.199 --> 01:02:52.760
man. I mean, there's a
certain line between comedy and just not good

692
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:57.840
ideas. Man. I mean,
You're can have Hornswail, you can have

693
01:02:58.159 --> 01:03:02.800
Santino Morella, you can have many
comedy wrestlers that knew what they were doing,

694
01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:08.400
but a lot of these guys.
Man, it just looked bad or

695
01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:13.519
it just wasn't a good idea from
the start. But anyways, so if

696
01:03:13.519 --> 01:03:16.440
you guys enjoyed this, I highly
recommend you guys also go over and go

697
01:03:16.480 --> 01:03:22.519
to the Wrestle Lania YouTube channel.
They had a video covering this very well

698
01:03:22.559 --> 01:03:27.280
with I believe a hundred of just
the worst gimmicks in wrestling history. So

699
01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:30.119
highly recommend you got to give a
shout out to them, because this is

700
01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:34.639
honestly where some of the inspiration came
from with this not gonna lie. I

701
01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:37.760
saw the video and we started talking
about it more and we thought let's try

702
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:43.159
it ourselves and let's just explain it
for the viewers. But uh, all

703
01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:46.440
right, so any closing thoughts,
any shout outs you want to give their
