Paid Members niff Posted August 5, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2012 He looks like Non from the Superman movies. Â All he needs to do is team up with CM Punk and bring back Molly Holly as Ursa and there you have it! Best faction since Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex1 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Cant believe Tammy Sytch hasnt been mentioned yet, after leaving/getting fired by the fed in 98 she lost her appeal at a rapid rate-year by year thanks to drugs and booze she went from the hottest woman in wrestling to an absolute mess which caused to lose her looks and put on a ton of weight. She really seemed to turn it all back round, especially with her big moment being inducted into last year's HOF. She's since lost her way a bit and fell off the wagon and is currently in WWE sponsored rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTXRussomark Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I know he had a bit of a transition phase in between but Sting's transformation between surfer and Crow was pretty striking: Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireBrand Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'd say Raven is the best example, Annoying rich lad turns into a smackhead who can take a battering and still win   Obviosly it wasn't better than the Raven gimmick but I loved his Scotty Flamingo look in WCW.

FireBrand Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 This one is more of a persona change than anything: Â Flyin' Brain aside from brief moments of acting like a heel was the golden boy to WCW fans, a dangerous high flyer that could take your head off but always a wrestler that would run in the protect the likes of Sting, Ron Simmons and Dustin Rhodes (who deserves his own entry here). Â Then there was a twist to his character, teamed with the cowardly granite arsed Steve Austin he started to take the glory for himself and stopped bothering with playing all-American quarter back superhero for his face buddies and started beating the shit of them instead. Â However when that team (The Hollywood Blondes) broke up Pillman developed possibly one of THE most effective on screen wrestling personas I have ever seen. Briefly switching to being a face again then a tweener Pillman began to work in to his character a degree on unpredictive behavior. Â By the time he left WCW Pillman was well on his way in creating his "Loose Cannon" gimmick, an image he would act out off screen as well as on. The transformation so was truly complete. Â So for the short time Brain Pillman was in WWF he probably became one of forgotten men that started the Attitude, when he went "Loose Cannon" with gun in his fued with Steve Austin not only did it shock the auidence but helped to usher in a whole new way to present wrestling.

That didn't start the Attitude era. It helped establish would they could and couldn't do, because that angle almost got them chucked off the USA Network. The nWo were doing edgy, realistic gang style beatings on Nitro and the Pillman thing was a massive misfire. It made the WWF look more desperate than cutting edge. I thought it was well over the top at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â I have seen the whole thing credited with at least showing a depature from the WWF that had grown slack with the likes of Ahmed Johnson at the top of the tree. Okay saying it started the attitude era isn't quite right but the whole scene had a whole proto-attitude feel to it at least, often accidents like these do help ignite a whole scene. Â Also I am not saying "edgy" wasn't being done before this but the WWF still seemed to be caught in a transition stage and losing ground due to things like NWO.

Cobra1000 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 In other Punk's appearance related news, it appears that he was at the Raw house show last night with short hair similar to the New Nexus days. Farewell to the scumbag lawyer hair. Â His hair is one of the worst things in wrestling, glad he has apparently sorted it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
