What the poo poo was Finlay wearing? What was his gimmick when he first joined WCW?

Isn't that just half of an American Football shoulder pad set, worn outside clothes? No idea about his gimmick though, sorry.

Finlay was just a badass brawler toughguy. Everybody played up how he was one of the toughest people they'd ever met. No idea why he's wearing a studded leather coat and shoulder pads

He was simply "The Belfast Bruiser" with no explanation for that. I thought nothing of him at the time until I saw him and Regal go at it...

I find it weird to see how many wrestlers have tiny dogs. I don't know why that surprises me. Maybe because there's this stigma of "small dog = you must be a pussy" that some meatheads have.

I imagine it's because bigger dogs generally need long walks and wrestlers don't really have the sort of lifestyle that can fulfill that need.

His entrance attire had absolutely nothing to do with his gimmick, which was "I came to WCW to beat the poo poo out of Steven Regal". His on-camera debut was literally him beating the poo poo out of Regal during some random jobber match and screaming at the camera.

I'd also think it's easy to take the dog on the road if need be. It's easier to bring a Dachshund to the arena than a Great Dane.

That's from https://www.piledriver.jp which I believe is MiSu's site. The old ones were something like US$200 IRC plus whatever you'd have to pay for one of those shipping middlemen.
