Now you're reminding me of Luger showing up on the first Nitro in a puffy pirate shirt and somewhere there is a timeline where he and Gangrel are a weird-rear end vampire tag team.

The first time Kevin Sullivan comes out with his crisp, white butcher's apron he looks super pissed and throws the apron on the floor lol

Let Kevin cook. Let him do his hosed up gimmicks.

TBS was saying no a lot by this point. As Foley recounts in his book, they didn't even want Kevin's apron to look dirty because that might have meant it was supposed to be blood.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
I'm surprised you didn't say The Giant. The gap between The Giant and The Big Show is parsecs and Vince paid out the nose because he said WCW didn't know how to book a Giant only to waste him for twenty years.

God don't even get me started. WWE would book him as a monster one week and then a corny joke wrestler the next. And the thing is, Wight could have been a great monster or a great comedy wrestler, but they desperately needed to pick a lane with him. The monster act was tough to buy into when you'd seen him be a big goofball the week before. The lovable goofball act was hard to enjoy when you knew it was always setting up for a predictable heel turn.
