Otto Dem Wanz Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 What was the reasoning behind calling Justin Credible/Aldo Montoya a 'Portuguese man of war' and specifically referring to Portugal on commentary and on his tights? Â As in, what was it about Portugal that was supposed to get him over? Â I'm very confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTXRussomark Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 According to Bruce Prichard the original gimmick was designed to be a famous Portuguese football player. I think he said they even got as far as filming vignettes for it before someone realised it was a shit idea and canned the whole thing not long before he debuted. The Portugal references were a carry over from that.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 7, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) According to Bruce Prichard the original gimmick was designed to be a famous Portuguese football player. I think he said they even got as far as filming vignettes for it before someone realised it was a shit idea and canned the whole thing not long before he debuted. The Portugal references were a carry over from that.  Probably all started when Major League Soccer started in 1994 or 95 and got hot for a while, then cooled, then went hot again, then cooled, then went hot again.  PJ Walker (Justin Credible, Aldo Montoya) was the stunt dummy of the WWF. Trying out moves. He'd have taken anything they'd have given them (oo-er in so many ways). If he cooled his substance abuse issues, he could have been there for life.

The Reverend Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I remember in Powerslam just before he debuted that they referred to the character as being a football hooligan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Also, I don't think he was born in Portugal, but his parents are Portugese and he's fluent in the language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted January 9, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2017 Can anyone recommend any good books covering the early history of pro wrestling? I'm in the process of doing the research/prep for a project I'm working on about the history and evolution of the steel cage match, but drawing a blank on books that cover much pre-1960. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
