Post some weird times in wrestling history
- Thread starter Womb Raider
- Start date
I agree with the second half of RA era, so much weird shyt going on then
The fukking BLUEBLOODS reunited on SD and Squire Dave Taylor had a year long run with WWE in the mid to late 00s.
Tatanka had an extended come back run in 2006
Henry Godwinn got brought in for multiple house shows and dark match try outs, forming a Godwinns 2.0 team with Terry Gordy's son, only to be replaced by Festus, a mentally challenged bumpkin who went insane when he'd hear the bell ring. Weirdly, Godwinn ended up in a house show match against Regal/Taylor at this time, and also a Deep South match with the future Fandango, to show how long he's been in the system.
The ever so brief mini division, with SUPER PORKY making multiple appearances on SD eating ham
Bradshaw going from beer drinking cowboy to city slicker Million Dollar Man overnight to WWE Champ within a month. Going with this, around the same time you had Mark Jindrak as The Narcissist 2.0 and there was some other blatant gimmick rip off around the same time that was mostly contained to Heat/Velocity but I can't remember it at the moment.
Eric Bischoff's retarded nephew who was a wrestling savant who he hired as a favor to his sister but actually really hated him and HHH bullying him for being retarded.
ALL those OVW guys getting the worst fukking gimmicks and multiple changes and all flopping. The Bashams as gimps and then like....security guards? and then no gimmicks, then fired. Rico, the guy who was hyped as a future champ, can't miss star for years in OVW, Billy and Chuck's gay hairstylist and then later on Adrian Street 2.0 (maybe that's the gimmick I was thinking of), Nick Dinsmore the wrestling machine as a Bischoff's slow nephew, Rob Conway the wrestling machine as a French sympathizer (not even real French, but French Canadians) with Sylvan and Renee Dupree in a gimmick that originally had them dressing as French Revolutionaries and is a play on the time period where the War on Terror led to America feuding with France over French Fries. Renee would then go on to team with Kenzo Suzuki, originally planned to have a HIROHITO gimmick, but who now was a comedy character who dressed up like Uncle Sam and would poorly sing songs because loljapanese. Sylvian would get a model gimmick and some other shyt but I don't remember him even making it to Raw or SD after. And Rob Conway eventually got a run as Buff Bagwell.
All the stuff in the aftermath of Eddie's death, from the Chavo/Rey feud to Vickie turning heel to Vickie marrying Edge....I want t say at some point Benoit got involved and was questioning what Vickie was doing with Eddie's estate or legacy or some shyt. But yeah just Eddie's widow being turned into arguably the top heel in the company for a few years while they played up Eddie's legacy as a legend and GOAT way more than they ever did while he was alive. Vickie ended up having a longer run in WWE than Eddie did
Heidenreich's proposed Nazi gimmick turning into him talking to a little doll or some shyt to turning into a giant psycho who read mean poetry and raped Michael Cole. He then got to be Hawk's replacement in LOD, because in addition to Tatanka and Dave Taylor, Animal got an extended run in 2005-2006 as well, including a late heel turn and singles run as The Road Warrior in a return to his PRE ROAD WARRIORS biker gimmick from 20+ years prior.
Italian Marc Copani being turned into Arab Muhammad Hassan, with his Persian buddy Daivari who was portrayed as Arab anyway, who started the gimmick as talking about the treatment of Arab-Americans in a post 9/11 world and ending the gimmick not even a year later he had a group of terrorists try to decapitate The Undertaker on TV, coincidentally on the same day as a major Islamic terror attack in England. Undertaker then maybe literally killed the character at the Great American Bash. Speaking of Undertaker, remember when he started possessing bodies to fukk with Randy Orton, and there was a Hogan/Warrior mirror redux?
Man....almost all of this is just Smackdown from 2005-2008

That time big show was feuding with the boss man and Albert for the title. They actually had bossman pin the rock in a #1 contenders match. Armageddon 99 was one of the worst ppv's ever.
