Yeah, no one seems to blame Terry for taking this career killer. Even as a kid I couldn't stop laughing. How could you take this thing serious. A grown man thinking he is a Rooster. LMAO
Vince gives you bad gimmicks when he doesn’t like you. He put polka dots on Dusty’s ass, gave him Sweet Sapphire as a girlfriend and called him the American Dream. As bad as that was, Dusty made it work. But the Red Rooster was the worst of the worst. Nobody could make that work and Taylor did better than anybody else would have done with this. I mean can you imagine any other wrestler doing the Red Rooster? I can’t.
I saw an article in 2012 that Terry tried to "erase" the Rooster on the internet but when he tried the data would come back esp on Wikipedia. As a kid I said this was too far and too funny. A grown man thinking he is a Rooster. LMAO
This is awful as it could get with Vinnie Mac thinking ANYONE could pull off this utterly awful gimmick. And then Suck-butt Brucey had the nerve to say that the reason this gimmick didn't work was because Terry didn't invest himself into it! In the infamous words of one broadcaster, "Oh, the humanity!!"
In an alternate dimension, Koko B Ware's brawling with Raven, who's using dirty tactics and stomping him, with other Flock members. Cue Alice In Chains - Rooster. A shadowy figure, with messy, long, blonde hair (seemingly bloody in places), makes his way to the ringside at pace..
Be honest, how could he be? The dude was asked to be a Rooster, LMAO. Prichard had the nerve to say it didn't get over because Terry didn't believe in the gimmick. He walked and acted like a Rooster, what more could he do? Fly? Lay an egg? LMAOOOO.
@@Sean_Wess I was a kid at the time and I still remember the character more than 30 years later. So I'm not sure that this was a failure as the character actually seemed to be popular at the time.
There were MANY wrestlers that hate, HATE, HATE their gimmick. It's nothing new. There are many, many many more people who HATE their jobs, but, they get up, and do what they have to, for a multitude of reasons. 1) they are professional, and think that someday, somewhere, someone will say "ya know what? That guy did a damn good job when he was dealt a shit hand! I think I will give him a chance. TT went on to work backstage for a damn, damn log time. I think even Vice would say "he did what was needed, and never bitched to me about it."
@@KHayes666 Not true, that was a rumour. Taylor rubbed people the wrong way backstage, was cocky and thus was given that gimmick. Taylor even said Dibease's gimmick was in the hat as well so you know it was BS right there. Various people have been interviewed and no one says Taylor was going to be Mr. Perfect.
You can tell he does not like this gimmick.
He's thinking, " I left Bill Watts for this?"
Would you?
I don't blame him. So would I.
Ask any wrestler from that time and they'll you he had all the tools to be a star. He just wasn't used right and it's too bad.
Only in 80s America this would ever exist 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Red Rooster and Gobbledy Gooker would be the most dominant tag team in wrestling
I blame Terry for accepting this gimmick if he said no to it a lot more people in the business would probably have treated him much better
Yeah, no one seems to blame Terry for taking this career killer. Even as a kid I couldn't stop laughing. How could you take this thing serious. A grown man thinking he is a Rooster. LMAO
Did he have a choice?
@@FrankAndrewsyes😊
Yes, I agree. He should’ve given Vince the bird and flown the coop.
@@jarnec9428 ugh
I can't believe they thought this gimmick was actually a good idea
john cena gimmick is more stupid -fawken make a wish guy crap
This was punishment for Terry’s backstage ego.
They were into cartoon angles and fan friendly stuff back then.
They didn't. They were trying to kill his career.
@@williamparks4063no it wasn't
Look into Terry’s eyes, he’s dead inside
It never gets old.
Awesome. Loved the Rooster. Primarily scientific, but you brawled with him at your peril! He could have made a top quality Intercontinental champ!
Proof wwe fans like anything
@@trendsettatrilla3912 what? What?!!!?! How are you!?!
@@trendsettatrilla3912 Proof that anyone can troll and be bad at it (cookal dooda dooo).
Hahahaha the rooster call Terry does at the end. Funny stuff !!!
Career killing character.
"Finger licking good." - Pat Patterson
I imagined Patterson making a goblin like face saying that
Well, Patterson always had a penchant for cocks
Better than a Ricochet promo.
I've clawed and I've scratched..... 🤣🐔🤣🐔

Rooster Rick Rude.
No other wrestler would! And it doesn't mean that he's smart for continuing to do it lol it was a total career killer
His promo was good until the end.🤣
“Poultry in Motion”🐓🐓🐓
Next to Scott Hall Taylor had one of the best working punches in the biz. Even to this day.
I feel so bad for him 😂
Terry was a good wrestler, great on the stick & blonde, blue-eyed and handsome
Even he couldn’t make this work!
This is the most ridiculous gimmick i ve ever seen its comical as hell😂😂😂😂
Man I had forgotten about him. When I was little he was one of my favorites 😆 wild how u forget about stuff over the years
My mother gave me the Red Rooster finisher.
I saw an article in 2012 that Terry tried to "erase" the Rooster on the internet but when he tried the data would come back esp on Wikipedia. As a kid I said this was too far and too funny. A grown man thinking he is a Rooster. LMAO
He was killing it with this promo.... Until he clucked like a rooster in the end
His mic skills were boring.
Hahaha
Sounded more like a scalded dog than a rooster.
Then he went to WCW and became "The Taylor Made Man", and dressed in suits and tuxedos.
From Wrestling Nikita Koloff at Starrcade 87 Chi-Town Heat to unify both NWA & UWF TV Titles to this 😳🤦♂️

It doesn't seem like his heart is in this promo at all

@@Sean_Wess He could've been the guy to emerge from that egg at Survivor Series 1990! Now THAT would've given him a rub.
Would anyone??
@ConcernedCitizen5514 I remember it too .. and at the time we thought he was cool 😂 people don't realize how diff the 80z really were
At least Terry Taylor has a job for life in wwe cause he introduced Triple h to the kliq.
0:07 lmao
Jesus....

I heard a rumor he almost got the Mr. Perfect gimmick
LOL @ Terry Taylor cutting a promo on the Brooklyn Brawler HAHAHAHAHAHAA
Dumbest thing I've ever seen!!! I bet Tsylor looks back and dies when he sees this...lol
I agree. At some point it seems like he would say screw you and leave. Utterly humiliating.
Mr. Terry "The Red Rooster" Taylor Looks Like Mr. Shawn HBK Michaels In This Promo Segment!! DING - M2.H.B. 2022!
*What if u work hard to get into WWE. They hand u your new uniform talkin about your new name is the blue woodpecker.*
The beginning of the end for wrestling.
At least the dude can talk, not like todays most indie darlings
Guys, if the man identifies as a rooster, then he's a rooster. Don't be a biggot.
1989 the WWF was doing stuff like this and the NWA/WCW was having Flair and Steamboat doing 5 star matches all over the Country.
No Contest..🤷
You can feel the gun being pointed at him
Christ on a bike, if I got this gimmick I'd immediately hand in my notice.
Why o why didn't this character do well. .
He looks like the 80's version of Chad Gable
Zero Talent never Drew A dime in the Bizz ...
They made him "cocadoodle-doo" 🤦🤦🤦
Humiliating
0:08 😁
Cool gimmick
What's the matter Colonel Sanders, are you chicken?
and yet this was still more over than John Cena or Roman Reigns
It’s not a Rib!
this gimmick was definitely designed to damage taylor's marketability in other territories permanently
I’m glad he took this gimmick. History would be less funny if he hadn’t.
lol
Very limited athlete.
Hes a technical wrestler.the hell is wrong with u
@@TheJrlayno I’m guessing you don’t get who kept saying this during the Rooster’s original run.
WWF ruined him
He was limited ability.
Is he supposed to be a ric flair knock off kinda like Gillberg was to Goldberg?
No. This was supposed to be Mr. Perfect, true story
@@KHayes666 Not true, that was a rumour. Taylor rubbed people the wrong way backstage, was cocky and thus was given that gimmick.

Oh God, this dude us TERRIBLE! ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE...
Vince Destroyed many good Wrestlers with his stupid gimmicks
Worse gimmick perhaps EVER
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Bringing black memories watching Red Rooster promo as youngster.
This is a grown man folks.
