The Shockmaster debut has to be the best gif just for the story behind it alone:

Quote:

On "A Flair for the Gold", (an interview segment hosted by Ric Flair) in front of a live audience at Clash of the Champions XXIV, Sting and Smith were confronted by Sid and Harlem Heat, demanding to know the identity of their new partner. Sting exclaimed, "All I have to say is, our partner is going to "shock" the world, because he is none other than... The Shockmaster!!" The camera zoomed in on a particular section of the set where two torches set off a small pyrotechnics explosion in front of a sheetrock wall. Ottman was supposed to make a dramatic entrance by crashing through the wall. His new costume consisted of a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet painted silver and covered in glitter, a pair of jeans, and a long black vest. Instead, Ottman tripped over a piece of lumber that was framing the set, causing his helmet to fall off and slide across the floor. As he scrambled to put the helmet back on and get to his feet, Flair audibly exclaimed "Oh, God!". Ottman slowly walked towards the wrestlers and stood menacingly in an attempt to salvage the disaster. Booker T of Harlem Heat asked "Who is this Mother****er?" and Smith exclaimed "He fell flat on his arse...he fell flat on his ****ing arse!". Both of these comments were audible to the audience and television viewers and would later be partially censored in future showings of the footage by the WWE. Dusty Rhodes later revealed on an episode of WWE 24/7's Legends of Wrestling that the piece of lumber previously wasn't there during a successful practice run and it was later put there by David Crockett without informing Ottman.

Sid Vicious and Harlem Heat were visibly struggling to contain their laughter as Ottman began his promo, which was actually voiced by Ole Anderson. The situation only got worse as Anderson started giggling at the beginning and mistakenly called Sid 'Stid' at one stage. Despite zero crowd reaction and leaving the announcers speechless, WCW decided to continue with the feud.

The last line is my favourite and it basically summed up why WCW was doomed 7 years before it was fully destroyed from within.

Does anyone know what exactly happened that caused Yeti to first come out as a really tall mummy that butt****s Hulk Hogan, and then without acknowledgment he just comes out as a huge ninja in his only other appearance under that name?

Ziggler is awesome part 485.

When asked about his recent match with CM Punk Ziggler said:

A lot of people enjoyed the match, and my family and friends liked it. Honestly, since last Monday, I haven't been able to sleep that well, because I really wanted that match to be one of the best ever, and it wasn't. So I have something to build toward, and hopefully we'll get to do it on a big stage, and if we do, I know we will tear the house down. I know it.

Guy is losing sleep because **** is not up to his standards.

A Yeti is neither a mummy nor a ninja, and I think he just came out as various things that didn't match the name for the same reason(s) WCW so frequently had lol bad storylines.

Man...

I'm right more often than amp is, but I must concede that he's a decent bit funnier than me.

Exactly. While WCW was always going to be unstable because the owner didn't understand wrestling, and neither did the other people at Turner who would more regularly check on the people running the show in WCW, it takes a special kind of stupid to do something like the Yeti incident.

Could this be the swerve where LKJ admits to respecting amp, only to stab him in the back in their tag match against DirtyDiana and HoganTard?

We have a tendency to gang up and chase off heels fairly quickly.

Although moorobot was being called moronbot early on and has become a very good poster for the thread since then.

I'd love to make a heel turn, but I'm just so much better as an annoying midget who people don't really pay any attention to and is used as comic relief.
