Chris Hero's name in FCW....

Kassius Ohno

wtf?!

[FedEx227]

....Holy fuck.

[SHOGUN]

That's something out of a Wu-Tang name generator.

[FedEx227]

As far as the HHH discussion, I agree. He was always that beacon of "well, he watched 1980s NWA, he knows what good booking looks like."

I always thought he could separate himself from performer and booker/decision maker. It's clear he can't.

Hero's new initials are KO, so maybe he's keeping the knockout gimmick.

[IamMedellin]

anytime some1 says theyre a man on a mission...

I think of this

[Leftwich]

How many times has Mabel been packaged and repackaged. That guy has more lives in the WWF than anyone i know.

Off the top of my head...

1) Mabel - Men on a Mission
2) King Mabel
3) Viscera
4) The Ladies Man Viscera
5) Big Daddy V

"That Young Knockout Kid" Kassius Ohno?

Oh fuck.

Rick Rude is posthumously disappointed in CFO Helmsley at the moment.



Needs more... "I'm here to show your fat wife what a REAL man looks like!"

Dem Abs

Rude's spiel never got old, the towns just got older, fatter, lazier, and more illiterate. Also, printing the IC title on his pants was genius.

Off the top of my head...

1) Mabel - Men on a Mission
2) King Mabel
3) Viscera
4) The Ladies Man Viscera
5) Big Daddy V

I thought he got re-packaged one last time as "Big Breasted Black Woman" in the bastardization of ECW.....

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Rude is one of the best gimmicks to ever lace'em up.

He was so-so in the ring...but that man is a great. Loved that schmuck.

He's in All Japan now as "Big Daddy" (minus the "V")...



...and before Men on a Mission, they were 'Harlem Knights' in Memphis...



...and I believe you covered the rest.

[Warner2BruceTD]

On that note, is Big Daddy V vs Akebono the heaviest singles match in wrestling history?

Rude was very good in the ring. Got one of the best matches out of Warrior of his career.

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think Rude was a good worker, but his matches were always very boring to me. Especially the WCW stuff after he quit WWF after the Warrior program. He had a match vs. Masa Chono at Halloween Havoc one year (I believe 1992) that still stands as one of the most boring matches i've ever seen on a major stage.

But Rude was so charismatic that he always held my attention, no matter how bland some of his matches were. My favorite Rude stuff was his NWA run right before he went to the WWF, and his early WWF stuff. So about 1986-1988 or so.
