Some people laugh at me when i say it, some agree, but damn i miss the HeadBangers. They debuted in '96 and from the very first moment i was a fan. They were outrageous and nutty and fit prefecttly into the "attitude" era of the WWF. Though not destined for a long career in the WWE or singles careers of any kind the HeadBangers will always put a smile on my face. :D

Any thoughts...any other wrestlers with short-lived careers you care to remember???

As far as short lived 'WWF careers' go,I thought Scorpio/Flash
Funk brought alot to the table, and was never given a chance
to display any of it.I was a big fan of his work in WCW and ECW
- and overseas - and the way Vince and WWF did him was just
totally wrong.

Also,Vader. Here is a GREAT wrestler and entertainer,with the
charisma, look, ability, and background of a World Champion
(several times),and yet it is totally overlooked, and Vader is
thrown a round for a while. So much more could have been done
with Vader, and instead he gets a short run being managed
by Jim Cornette,and jobbing in main events.

Oh yeah, Matt Borne as Doink could of done a lot more with the heel Doink character. But those jackasses decided to turn Doink face and well the rest is history.

Chavo's horse. I think it's name was Pepe.

Edit:
and Moppy. Pepe and Moppy would've been one hell of a tag team duo.

I mean Essa Rios. Seriously, imagine the matches he could have done with Rey, Chavo, Tajiri, and Ultimo nowadays.
