dikk Slater was a straight up CLONE of Terry Funk. Even down to the walk. It's amazing that they were in the same promotion together multiple times (AJPW in the 80s, WCW in the 90s, and I'm sure they crossed paths in a few different territories) and Terry never decked him for aping EVERYTHING.

AA are directly stealing from RNR Express and Steiners every match. WGTT is only a superficial thing because one is black and one is white and they're both wrestlers.
