It would be too kind to say that Master P was one of the many instances of WCW flushing money down the toilet, as flushing money down the toilet would have been better for the company. Master P was paid $200,000 per appearance in an attempt to get WCW over with hip hop music fans, and an attempt to make new stars with his no limit stable.

Instead, what happened was that 1) the fans booed him and his group, because the segments were poorly done and booked, and because he and his group performed prototypical heel actions, such as bullying people and outnumbering the opposition which led to 2) Master P refusing to participate in the angle anymore.

In the end, the Master P business had the opposite of the intended effect, burying the members of the stable in the hearts of the fans, and burying WCW in the mind of Master P's fans.

The Jim Herd regime is responsible for some of the all time worst angles in wrestling history, from the Ding Dongs to Robocop.

Herd also believed Ric Flair was no longer a main eventer, despite the fact that the fans actually began to boo and heckle the otherwise relatively popular face champion (Sting) when Flair faced him as the heel challenger, and erupted when Flair would get an advantage. This opinion of Flair eventually led to Flair being fired while still holder of the title, and showing up in the WWF with the belt. Meanwhile, chants of "we want Flair" were a mainstay of WCW PPVs.

But Herd's unimplemented ideas were perhaps even worse then the ones that were implemented.

For example, the Ding Dongs were Herd's second choice for a new tag team. His first choice was a team called the hunchbacks, who were shaped so that their shoulders could not hit the mat, making them impossible to pin. They also had bells, but the reason for having them was not clear.

He also thought Flair's look and character were outdated. He argued Flair should take on the gimmick of a Roman Gladiator, cutting his hair, carrying a shield to the ring, and changing his name to Spartacus.

In the quest to ensure the federation not only doesn't make any money but in fact causes the owner to go broke, acquiring Arachnaman is a milestone. First of all, he was ridiculous and poorly done, with poorly concealed cans of pink and blue silly string used for the webs, and a supremely ugly suit. Second, he was a flagrant rip off of spider-man, and WCW was quite predictably threatened with legal action until they ceased using the chracter.

In a land of bad gimmicks for fat guys and bad attempts at original music, combining the two lead to doubly awful results. The Rapmaster P.N. News was made extra awful by the bad booking. Future stars jobbed to him, and his 400 lb frame was booked in a scaffold match:

i don't think i can adequately describe how weird and unsettling a bisexual orlando jordan covered in police tape gimmick was. the weird part is, going through youtube vids trying to find his promos (can't), he seemed to be OVER with the youtube crowd. not exactly sure how that happened

for some reason there are people who like this guy. i ****ing hate him. absolutely god awful. he's like tna's santino but somehow more corny and unbearable. then by the end (i think tna stopped giving a **** about his existence) he decided he wanted to imitate stone cold word for word? surprised they didn't get sued

This man got a push for no other reason than his last name. He couldn't work a match a couldn't cut a promo and he couldn't get over even with having Stacy Keibler on his arm. So who is he going to fued with?

Woooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! No I'm not selecting arguably the greatest wrestler of all time. I'm selecting the alcoholic senior citizen who talks with a lisp and blades like crazy.

Well, Kevin Sullivan had a completely ridiculous gimmick in The Taskmaster. But at least he wasn't very good in the ring, had an absurdly stupid finisher, and was stupid enough to book his own divorce (to sell his feud vs. Benoit, he directed Chris and Nancy to share hotel rooms on the road). To give due credit, tons of men fantasize about killing their wives...only Sullivan had the foresight and patience to set his wife up with Chris Benoit and let nature run its course.

No, seriously, here's Edge jobbing to Sullivan's absurd finisher: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x30dXi7kGG8#t=01m30s

I figured that Mr. Sullivan should have some backing in the form of John Tenta's most ridiculous gimmick, The Shark.
