Too Much Pre Debut Hype
 

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?

Mordecai

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.

Brakus

LOL Mordecai. I was super hyped for him too.

Papa Shango

Gail Kim.

Nathan Jones as well.

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!

Sean O' Haire

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

Brakus is coming.

Nailz was pretty bad too.

Outback Jack

Berlyn.

Masters

lol Mordecai. Everyone on here were jizzing over that shit

i loved when glacier had a sale of his stuff that was funny as hell the cat bought his fake eye.

Ill have to say Brakus.

All that hype for months and then I dont even remember him coming out on Raw.

Brakus easily. my god

Whatever happened to him?

HIROHITO IS COMING.

Went to ECW, Taz beat him, he disappeared much quicker then he arrived.

Se7en
Brakus
Hirohito
Mordecai
Sean O' Haire

Se7en killed his own hype. Who knows where it could've gone.

Mordecai, Masters

I miss Mordecai

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.

O'Haire.

I can't remember Brakus for the life of me

Jean-Pierre Lafitte.
Mantaur.

B.A. Brakus? :shifty:

Kenzo, 'nuf said.

William Regal:A Real Mans Man

He's a maaaaan! What a maaaaaan! He's a real man's maaaaaan!

I remember that shit. Worst...Gimmick...Ever

Mordecai......it sounded like it could have went somewhere.....plus it was a cool character to have

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.

You pity yourself?

I bet you can calculate THAC0 in your head.

His entrance theme could have been...


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

He's a Lumberjack and he's Ok! He sleeps all night and works all day!..."

Ultimo Dragon, Fit Finley,

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.

Chris Jericho

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)

You laughed and you know it. :mad:

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

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.
