Post an obscure wrestler

His status in the company really took a hit, man.

I see what you did there....

 

[mti79]

Ted Arcidi? I actually had his wrestling figure way back in the day.
And Billy Jack Haynes? He got pushed big time for a while....

I just quoted all the pics to include the fat friar guy.. ha ha ha

Hint: When the WWE tried MMA.

He completely jobbed to Taz at some ECW show at the Arena and that was the last of him in any promotion. We all now know WWF-ECW had some sort of working relationship but I wonder who made the call of completely jobbing Brakkus, maybe by this point WWF didn't care but it seems strange they would send a wrestler to ECW to get squashed

Yep, Ted Arcidi and Billy Jack Haynes.
Interesting note (to me, anyway), Arcidi got HHH started in wrestling by hooking him up w/Killer Kowalski.


And Friar Ferguson, what a dumb gimmick. Thank God he caught a break and became Bastion Booger

Yup. WCW was getting really bad then.

Not 3 Count bad, but still bad.

 

[Hackett]

I can't stop laughing.

Is it all that obscure? I mean, Trump has been meaning to use him for quite a while now, right?

An Iron Mike Sharpe wrestling school grad But incredibly funny WCW moment, the fact that Hogan is challenging some guy miles away which nobody in the crowd can see

May have already been posted, but I LOL'd when I saw the gif...

Kenny Kaos was undefeated as a tag team champion with Rick Steiner.

I forget how the whole thing went down, but somehow Rick Steiner ended up with the belts by himself after somebody turned on him. He later picked Kaos to defend the belts with him.

Steiner ended up getting injured and Kaos wasn't allowed to pick a partner. IIRC, he wasn't even out that long, like a month or so and Kaos had to forfeit the belt.

I love when they pan back and show you this white dot that's maybe 2 pixels high.

"THAT'S THE WALL, BROTHER!"

Remember Kizarny?

Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli was another one. Insanely powerful, but he never seemed to stray too far from midcard territory.

 

[Victoire HuGo]

I actually liked Stamboli (& Vito before dressing like a chick). Must be the mafia gimmick

 

[Dr Pepper]

FBI never really amounted to much, really, did they?

Nunzio was an Italian Spike Dudley, basically, just a little guy for the Lesnars of the roster to ragdoll around the ring. Then you had Stamboli who could probably gorilla press Lesnar if he let him.

 

[Victoire HuGo]

Nunzio was a great seller. That spear he took from Goldberg at the RR was something. But yeah they were a jobber squad

One half of the greatest tag team to never be the WWE Tag Team Champions of the World, Rory McCallister.

And Pee Wee Herman got arrested.

speaking of Goldberg, I believe about 1/4 of his wins came as the result of pinning this guy:

I'd say Jerry Lynn is a pretty well known wrestler.

The mid-day show on WFAN uses his theme music as background music during their weekly NFL picks



I also remember the Mets in the mid-2000s using Glacier's WCW theme during the opening of their broadcasts

I don't want to stray too much off subject, but in another case of WCW music being used elsewhere, Jim Rome's end of the hour bumper music later became Norman Smiley's WCW theme.
