Remember Trent Barretta's tag team partner in WWE? No really, I can't remember his name. Sure, I could google it, but why?

Caylon Croft. The Dudebusters

Remember Ricky Ortiz and his Ralley Towels

Remember when Braden Mania struck the ECW in the summer of 2008?

Legit my favorite tag team at the time because they debuted at the same time I was working on my high school production of Grease.

Domino actually had fuckloads of untapped charisma, every podcast interview I’ve heard with him has been amazing.

All I remember is him fighting Rocky Maivia every week.... evidently he did other things, but that's all I remember.

I used to love the Z-Man in WCW when I was a kid.

Remember Rodney Mack? And how Al Snow nearly died in his debut?

I remember Rodney Mack, Teddy Long decided to manage him instead of D'Lo

Remember when Teddy Long managed Chris Nowinski

Remember when Tyson Kidd did a story where he had a different manager each week then finally settled on some big man whose name I don't remember, but who only lasted for like a week?

Remember Tyson Kidd vs Yoshi Tatsu in a Yoshi Tatsu's Action Figure's Leg on a Pole match?

I still want to see the "Byte This" they were on that got them fired and "Byte This" canceled.

Remember when Raven attacked DDP on MTV?

I remember Michael Hayes was one of them.

I think the big dude was Jackson Andrews

It was Jackson Andrews. I think he was around for two months.

Remember Eugene turning heel for a week?

Remember when Joy Giovanni was the Big Show's "Special Friend"

Only thing in this thread i remember.

Remember when Hade Vansen made some promos on Taker only to never debut !!

Remember when Ashley Massaro became the valet for London and Kendrick

I totally forgot about that

Remember during the 2004 Diva Search when they had to seduce Kamala

Lol he was being groomed for a Mania match and then Vince realized he wasn’t even 6 foot and immediately cancelled his call up.

I remember him losing to Goldust on an episode of Shotgun Saturday Night.

He had Goldy in the camel clutch, it should have been all over. But Marlena had other plans. She flashed him, causing him to drop the hold. Goldust ended up winning with a roll up or some shit.

The finish was lamer than I thought. Backlund attacked Goldy for the DQ.

Remember when Jericho had a body guard shortly after his WWE debut?

Wasn't it Mr. Hughes?

Remember when Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks had a stripper gimmick for 1 week and then Tyler Reks quit the company and wrestling

Remember Ricky Ortiz and his rally towel?

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pr...anotvJSdfLAaDW

Lol I knew I’d be the first one to post a duplicate! And on the first page no less :lol:

#GertnerRemembers

Here’s another Ricky Ortiz thing: he debuted on ECW as Atlas Ortiz and then had to change his name the next week because they decided to re-hire Tony Atlas.

Great planning!

Obviously people would get confused by their striking similarity. :shifty:

lol that's the ultimate WWE thing to do

Remember the short lived faction of Hunico, Camacho, Primo and Epico

Ahaha!


They came down the aisle on fucking lawnmowers.

No wait - that was the Mexicools :D :D :D


1:18 in - though the replays seem like a weird time in WWE too....

JBL: "Here they are this week to cut someone's yard or pour some concrete or something!"

It was.

Remember Mr Hughes career somehow went in reverse? He started at the top or thereabouts and gradually worked his way down to nothing but a tall wide guy among taller wider guys, forced to manage a small narrow dude.

Pretty sure he also once ate DDP up in WCW and then turned up at his club to party for free afterwards. Mick Foley mentions this in his first book.

Remember Tracy Smothers pretending to be Italian?

I remember Mr. Hughes suffering from narcolepsy and falling asleep during tags. People thought he was on drugs.

Greatest gimmick in ECW history, the Guido, Smothers, Tommy Rich version.

Remember Hugh Morrus doing a short lived gimmick where his confused dad would wonder to the ring during his matches

This segment.......

Remember Eric Escobar getting a push for a month or two and then being released?

https://i.imgur.com/k0TMMrC.jpg

Remember when Deuce stopped being a greaser and acknowledged that he was Jimmy Snuka's son, Sim Snuka?

Or that he tried to join Legacy?

Or that he and Manu both got booted from the group immediately because they sucked ass?

https://ringthedamnbell.files.wordpr...6/simsnuka.jpg

I remember Sim beat Rey Mysterio with a flying knee kinda like a flying leg lariat and then got kicked out. I've only ever seen one other wrestler do that move : Johnnie Stewart in 1990 AWA,

Remember when Charlie Haas had a gimmick where he'd crawl under the ring during a match and come out wearing a Lucha mask

Remember Kizarny had weeks of debut vignettes before leaving the company after maybe three TV matches?

Didn't he just wrestle MVP and that was it?

I know it was during MVP's losing streak and that he didn't last long after that.

Cena's short lived feud with Jesus that ended after just 1 PPV show.

Remember when Sylvester Terkay debuted on Smackdown and destroyed Matt Hardy? Only to get annihilated by the Hardy Boyz in a tag team match on WWECW.

Remember when Vickie Guerrero awarded the World Heavyweight Championship to Dolph Ziggler?

...and he lost it to Edge by the end of the show?

Remember Palmer Cannon

JBL sure does

Remember when Eugene fought "Calgary Kid" for a Monday Night RAW contract?

<iframe width="964" height="723" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RtilQNsRTv4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

lol yeah Eugene showed up out of shape so that was his only appearance. He was supposed to come back in some sort of role.

Remember when the WWE was gonna have Paul Burchill and Katie Lea do an incest angle.

Didn't Vince want Shane and Steph to do that?

Similar. I believe it was during the time she was pregnant. She briefly talked about it in a doc.

Remember GTV ?

Remember when HBK worked for JBL cause he needed money ?

Lol I saw him work a dark match before a SmackDown taping. Was sad he never got a chance. Would’ve most likely turned into Wrestlecrap in a hurry but Kizarny’s a legit weird dude IRL so he would’ve had fun with it.

At least Mordecai got on TV before being realized as too short

Tekno Team 2000

LOD 2000

NWO 2000

When Hogan retired on Jay Lenos show and announced he was running for President..skip to about 3 minutes in

<iframe width="370" height="208" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t8PaB0r8Gew" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Here's the funny thing: I remember Vito in a dress, but I don't remember this being WWE. I thought the dress thing happened in WCW where, if he lost some kind of match, he had to wear a dress until he won. Then he won and kept wearing it anyway.

Addendum: I went and looked it up. In WCW it was Saturn wearing dresses. I somehow ran both of those things together.

"Heheheheh... they call you Big Show?!?"

And apparently all those made it farther than the idea of Christopher Daniels being the "Higher Power" before Vince did it himself because The Fallen Angel was, say it with me now, "too small".

Remember when John Morrison debuted as Eric Bischoff's apprentice, Johnny Blaze?

Before quickly changing it to Johnny Spade.

Before quickly changing again it to Johnny Nitro.

He also wanted Ken and Ryan Shamrock to do it.

Remember when Jim Johnston performed Shawn Michaels' DX entrance at WM XIV?

<iframe width="1206" height="678" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nl5onsD1bug" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Remember Ryan Braddock? Had a very brief stint on the main roster, believe they started repackaging him as an Elvis impersonator in dark matches before he got released. Ultimately went on to have a multi-year TNA run as Jay Bradley/Aiden O'Shea.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fhDZULAQMl8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

IIRC from the McMahon DVD years ago, Vince originally wanted to do an incest angle with him and Steph and when she said no he then pitched Shane and Steph instead.

I think he got called up with Scotty Goldman and I think one other guy who was in and out fast like Braddock and Cabana

Remember DJ Gabriel

https://media.giphy.com/media/d2YZQx...Uwla/giphy.gif

Can't see the gif, was Alicia Foxx his valet?

Remember when Buff Bagwell wrestled one WWE match and was so bad that Vince scrapped the entire concept of having WCW remain a separate brand?

Yuppers

Gavin Spears. That's who it was.

Remember when Torrie Wilson joined the nWo?

They were setting that concept up for failure.

Remember when that steroid dealer confused Roman Reigns for Luther Reigns when saying who he sold roids to? :lol:

Remember when Rene Dupree and Kenzo Suzuki were tag team champions?

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/94/11...91e8b12ae0.jpg

Remember the only time in the history of ever when Spike Dudley was a heel and was the boss of the Dudley family?

Remember when Kenzo was originally going to be called "Hirohito" after a Japanese emperor but they canned it due to it causing issues with Japan.

I honestly don't know what the attraction was to him.

Tommy Rich was such a weird shape by then, a big loud mouthpiece with bingo wings and a back shaped like a camel.

lol his promos were friggen hilarious. Especially on House Shows shot on fan cams.
