I spent the longest time trying to figure out how that poo poo was gimmicked, since Pogo would stab people in the gut with that thing and they'd start bleeding like pigs. Finally I just assumed that it wasn't

Then some guy asked I wanna say Bryan Alvarez if it was true that Pogo did intimidation work for the Yakuza wearing his facepaint and brandishing the sickle, and apparently Alvarez said yes even though it was made up?

Instead of hiding the motion, he made it part of the gimmick Jacobs did so well with the Kane character, it's crazy to think that was his last chance in WWE. I think Cornette (and other sources) have stated after fake Diesel and Isaac Yankem, Kane was Jacobs' last shot in WWF/E, and if it didn't get over, he was done.

Thanks everyone for all the weapon stuff. I watched a ton from 1996-2001 and then got back into watching/reading from about 2013 to now. I forgot about so many of the weapons used during that time and am glad people ignored my please no WWE/AEW weapons part of my question because that was a mistake to include. I don't know if he ever used them outside of cutting peoples hair but Brutus Beefcakes clippers always scared me when I would see clips of him as a kid. Kane chat got me thinking. What other wrestlers have turned wardrobe issues or botches or ThingIamOverLooking into part of their gimmick? Or had gimmick forced on them like Titus tripping at the blood money show or Sydal goofing on the SSP and becoming Japanese Death Match Legend Dr. Luther.

He was in the crowd sitting and sulking with Stevie doing his thing behind him, but I don't actually remember Stevie doing much of anything in the Flock. Was he ever actually in The Flock proper once Raven stopped being just a dude in the crowd?

Red posted:Did Lodi ever hit anyone with his signs? Did anyone actually sell it? Beaten like a scalded dog! From the DDT Digest Lodi Sign Project "03/15/98 "Use My Sign." WCW/nWo Uncensored, Mobile, Alabama. Inside the sign was a stop sign which Raven used as a weapon against Diamond Dallas Page. This angle originated during Raven's stint in ECW. It occurred during a match with Tommy Dreamer at House Party '96 at ECW Arena in Philadelphia (01/05/96). During the match, Sign Guy Dudley handed the same weapon to Dreamer who proceeded to use it on Raven. This is another instance where Lodi has taken directly from ECW and the character of Sign Guy Dudley." Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Nov 16, 2020 |

I have a song I must have downloaded in the kazza days called Bad Attitude that's billed as a theme Shawn Michaels used at one point. It's got a clip of him talking at it begging so I'm guessing this is at just partly true. Where the gently caress is this thing from and when did he ever use it as entrance music? E: here it is on YouTube. It appears to be from something called We Gotta Wrestle that I've never heard of before, which just raises more questions than answers. https://youtu.be/EGqsvfdThx0 Vince MechMahon fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Nov 16, 2020 |

You can get a lot of people on the edges of WCW's existence (The Rock, Kurt Angle, Christian, the Dudleys, the Hardys on one side, Backlund/Bruno/Patterson on the other) but if you were wrestling for most of the 1990s, it's very few people of note: Shawn Michaels, Jerry Lawler, Owen Hart, Sgt. Slaughter, Yokozuna, Ken Shamrock... even a lot of people who never really had a 'run' in WCW did jobber matches for them: Kane, Billy Gunn, Edge, Taz, etc. Past that you start getting into the Brooklyn Brawler and the Godfather.

It depends on what you define as being "in" WCW, because both Kane and Edge had brief appearances as jobbers in WCW.

WCW was also fond of showing clips of their former wrestlers getting clowned by current wrestlers as some kind of own. "Look, here's Steve Austin getting his rear end kicked by Hacksaw Duggan. Bet you don't want to see that loser anymore"
