I've done something similar to this in the past, but it makes for a fun little trip down memory lane. Try to post something that most people have probably forgotten about. I'll start.

The Goon - This hockey player turned wrestler of the mid-90's would body check his opponents against the apron on the outside of the ring and then get back in the ring to win by countout. I'm pretty sure this was his finisher, and it was absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah, it's cliche from me, but in 2002 after returning, I remember Val Venis teasing programs with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mr. Perfect. I wasn't exactly a mark at the time (that came a few months later), and I didn't have Heat (where Mr. Perfect was criminally used for his last stint with the company), but I'm sure there was at least a promo between Austin and Venis, and a few matches between Venis and Perfect.

Goldust - Went through a really freaky phase with Luna Vachon where he would wear the most ridiculous costumes. Panty hose, ball gags, and even a baby diaper once. He also had a tweaked theme at the time that was edgier and more...metallic sounding, I guess you could say. He was seriously uncomfortable to watch at the time for me, which I guess means he was doing a fantastic job.

Seriously though, I remember watching The Master of Pain (currently known as the Undertaker) win the USWA belt from Jerry Lawler.

I was going to mention something about Goldust. To be honest, he's one of my favourite characters ever. It was so unmined, too. So much untapped potential. The son of a solidified legend...dressing up in a gold costume, using a moniker and acting like he had been seriously abused as a child?

I think something between Cody Rhodes and Goldust could still be Feud of the Year stuff.

Suing the WWE apparently.

I remember when Jerry Lawler left the WWE in early 2001, because of bullshit with The Kat. Anyway, Paul Heyman was brought in as color commentator, and I was still new to everything at the time. I never appreciated Heyman as much as I should have...

I actually remember marking out when Vince McMahon "fired" him on air, and brought back Jerry Lawler as his replacement, as Heyman was forcefully taken out by security. :$

Long live The Kendrick!

Joey Styles: I remember that awesome, awesome, awesome angle they did where Styles called Jerry Lawler a hack, showed some "spirit," and then quit. That was so fucking great.

Edge: Before his neck injury, Edge was seriously one of the most over guys on the entire WWE roster. His stuff with Kurt Angle was great. He started the "You suck!" chants, and shaved Angle bald. It's kind of a shame that when he came back, they tried to make him too angry and serious, and as a result, lost his luster.

But does anyone else remember Edge being an awesome face? LOL at him winning the World Tag Team Championship with Hulk Hogan.

Fabien Barthez

Yes. Does anyone remember Edge as an awesome heel? Oh yeah, he is one RIGHT NOW.

I remember Max Moon. Looked like a blue Buzz lightyear and shot confetti out of his arm..... things about 30ft in the air.

Rad Radford. He was like, a college wrestler who was just a bit of a bum. Came out in a singlet and a sleeveless plaid shirt, and Cobain hair. I think he was alligned with the Body Donnas for a while. The team that finally got Chris Candido a WWF run and debuted 'Sunny'.

Hakushi. A chinese guy, similar to Yoshihiro Tajiri in style. He had Chinese lettering painted in vertical lines all down his face and body. He headlined on of the ery early IYH PPV's in a title match with Bret. Good match too. Ill see if it's about. He very quickly faded away after that.

I don't think Hakushi's match with Bret was a title match, but I do remember Hakushi defeating Bret. Very good match...unless they had a rematch for the title and that's what you're referring to. He also had a manager named Sinja who wore white face paint and an all white suit.

Rad Radford/Louie Spicolli did have a program with the Body Donnas where they were trying to get him into shape. I seem to remember him hiding food from them or something.

In a segment promoting André the Giant's upcoming "$15,000 Bodyslam Challenge" match vs. Big John Studd at WrestleMania, a replay is shown of the "Haircut Match" (where Studd and Ken Patera beat André into unconsciousness before helping Bobby Heenan cut his hair). McMahon attempted to talk about a stipulation wherein André would retire if he failed to slam Studd. A visibly annoyed André tried to decline the stipulation but when McMahon pressed on, André grabbed McMahon by the throat and told him to back off on the "retirement" stipulation and vowed he would slam Studd at Wrestlemania. A noticeably upset Andre walked off the set afterwards. :rofl:

Cobra went on to fame (fame-ish, anyway) as nWo's fake Sting. Also, the few times Cobra actually won matches, he used the Cobra Clutch as his finisher.

And when Disco Inferno finally had time to unfold the diagram for his submission hold, he got it on his opponent and won. The Last Dance, or something.

Ludvig Borga: His pre-debut promo walking the back streets of America, cutting your average "America Sucks" promo before beating Marty Jannetty. He then went on to end Tatanka's undefeated streak. My most cherised memory though was his appearance on 'Eurotrash'.

Mantuar: Along with the aforementioned Man Mountin Rock, the only memory I have of this guy was seeing him in WWF Magazine shortly before I lost interest in wrestling.

MVP (The Original): See above. Face painted like a baseball.

Not only did Ludvig Borga end Tatanka's undefeated streak, he did it by pinning him with ONE FINGER! :eek:

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan was the first man to knock Yokozuna off his feet in competition.

Another classic Borga memory I have is that they did a match with him against Ramon for the IC title on some Coliseum video that featured a ref bump and HBK run in with bogus IC belt. The ending was reused in the classic IRS/Ramon bout in '94 Rumble. Anyone else remember this?

Eddie Guerrero giving Big Show some tacos before a match, causing Big Show to "run for the border" and lose via countout.

Val Venis was almost castrated by Kaientai with a samurai sword.

Bart Gunn being a jobber for most of his WWF tenure, then winning the Brawl for All tournament (only to get knocked out in 30 seconds by Butterbean).

Dan "The Beast" Severn wrestling in black tights and a gray t-shirt that had huge sweat sports before he even hit the ring.

The Giant: Him and Hulk Hogan having a Monster Truck match at the top of a building. After the match The Giant somehow falls off the building only to come back at the end of the show about beat Hogan for the WCW Championship.

Skinner, when he spit in Owen Hart's face before losing to him in about 45 seconds at Wrestlemania VIII.

Yamaguchi-san, the fellow with said sword, was angry because Val had stolen his wife. Val then got bored of her, and the last time she appeared on television, he waved her off, then tossed her a few batteries. I didn't get it at the time.

And shortly after the attempted "choppy choppy" of his "pee pee," he came to the ring in a wheelchair, pushed by that Bobbitt fellow who actually had his genitals cut off by a bitch. Which Blade Braxton of Wrestlecrap was present for and photographed.

I already posted that, with a much better paragraph. Dick.

Yeah man. I also remember the reused the finish of Hart/Piper from WM8 for Hart/Austin.... I'm not sure which one.

Rhyno - just after he debuted in the WWE, Edge and Christian introduced him to Kurt Angle. After Rhyno left the room, they ask Kurt something like "what do you think?" to which he replied "well I don't know about the integrity or intelligence, but he's got intensity"
