    The only wrestling show I ever went to, my dad took me to see a WCW house show when I was still pretty young. The only thing I remember was him pointing at Arachnaman and shouting "Look, look, Spider-Man!", trying to get me excited. I started crying because it obviously wasn't Spider-Man (he was red and blue!), then sat with my back to the show and fell asleep through the whole thing.

I just kinda feel bad for your dad in that moment, although I know it's dumb he tried and failed to maybe entertain you with the show and when that wasn't working he tried some stuff on the fly lol. I also know that I'm being silly and that it's also not that big of a deal lol.

His gimmick was that he acted like a rabbid dog and was led to the ring on a leash by his teammate/handler Brian Knobbs, sometimes with Findlay as well. This had to be some kind of Russo nonsense as this gimmick existed sometime in late 1999/2000. A very weird gimmick to say the least.

    There are a couple of instances you can watch of the Yeti in action after his debut. None of his future on-screen appearances incorporated the mummy look though (knowingly). The Yeti (as shown in a still in this video) showed up at War Games not long after and in the ninja garb and sometime around this he also had a match on WCW Prime as the Yeti but then also had a match on WCW Saturday Night as "Super Giant Ninja". You could tell there was absolutely no idea how to use him during all of this. WCW was a strange place in the mid-90's. If anyone knows of more appearances of the Yeti that I haven't listed (including him as the Super Giant Ninja), please let me know!

    I always thought ‘The Juicer’ was one of WCWs wackier gimmicks just from reminiscing - I guess it may have been best to leave him out given why he was let go by WCW having just looked him up briefly.

    The worst part about the Renegade was how he painted a red and yellow R on his face and arms. He could have just had a different face paint design and who knows maybe he wouldn't have looked like such a rip-off.

    Nasty Boys were in WCW since 1993. About a year before Hogan came. Also, they were BACK in WCW in 1993 after their first stint there back in 1990. When they had that feud with the Steiner Brothers. The only reason they entered the WWF back in the day. was because WCW failed to sign them to a long term deal. Them returning to WCW had nothing to do with Hogan, no matter how often you show their picture or mention them whenever Hogan's nepotism comes up.

    Criminal misuse of talent award goes to - the booking of Mike Awesome. He was a phenomenal talent, amazing physical specimen, and great in the ring. Also a groovy guy, such a shame he committed suicide.

  • @scotcarr3390
    @scotcarr3390 4 роки тому +1

    I've a sense of humor, & got a giggle out of 90% of the subjects, but, considering how WCW treated him & his later suicide, The Renegade strikes me as more sad than "wacky".
    That said, Shockmaster's original gimmick was a truly laugh out loud festival of suck. You should've also mentioned that during Ole's promo for him, he completely (unintentional as it was) mercy killed v1 by saying "I'm coming for YOU, Stid!!!"...😁

      Sadly its not and if you are old enough i doubt u missed it u just blocked it out of ur mind but i will be nice enough to remind u lol at least in my opinion the dumbest thing i ever saw on WCW was Goldbergs SHOOT / WORK . Remember after Nash ended the streak in that stupid match Goldberg was really ticked off and did an interview where he explained he was going to get Nash back for writing himself to win over Goldberg . Dumbest interview i have ever seen my exact reaction at the time was , WHAT lol . He exposed the business being a work but was trying to make it seem like this time it will be real that had to be a RUSO idea omg it was stupid
