So I was remembering WCW when they had that "Blood Runs Cold" pre debut hype for Glacier. They played it for several weeks and when he finally debuted he turned out to be just another low/midcarder.

Any wrestlers you can think of that were Over Hyped and they did'nt really go anywhere?

I was so fucking hyped for Glacier. I was all like "OMG, Sub Zero's coming to WCW!!!"

Anyway, hows about good ol' Shockmaster? Or the Black Scorpion? And we can't forget the Gobbledygooker.

Tazz....they sure blew that.

His debut wasn't a bad one, he was the first person to beat Kurt Angle, and it was a surprise I thought, could be wrong.

Anyway what about Seven!

Nathan Jones as well.

I agree, his little promos before his debut made him seem like the real deal

Brakus (Achim Albrecht) actually did have a WWF match that was released on VHS back in (I think) 1998 called Mayhem In Manchester which was the ill-fated 2nd UK only PPV which never actually made it to PPV. I think he fought Tiger Ali Singh but don't hold me to that.

Come to think of it, he had a match in the Brawl For All tournament as well. Against Savio Vega I think.

I pity the fool who puts Mr T and Brakus in the same sentence.

Also, Brakus was actually the bad guy in some shitty action movie.

His entrance theme could have been...


"I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK! I sleep all night and work all day!

Close, actually it was Jeff Jarrett (who defeated him via submission). And as for his Brawl For All, yeah he fought in it and had a horribly embarassing lose to Savio Vega...

Brawl For All = Career suicide for most who took part.

That attempt at being funny failed. Sorry bud. :wavesad:



Anyway, off the top of my head:

- Shockmaster (duh)
- Tazz in WWE (choked out Angle; great! everything went downhill from there)
- Sean O'Haire (Piper stole this thunder)
- Mordecai (it was cool, but then it ended after a month)
- Hirohito (never materialized; Kenzo wasn't much better)
- Ultimo Dragon in WWE (boy did they screw that one up after three weeks)

Trytan in TNA. One of their many mistakes in 2005.

The One

LOL...I remember Trytan...I don't know that they were hyping him so he could get over so much as so he could have some hype (since no one gave a fuck about him) so that when Brown pinned him maybe someone might care.
