Golga was a weird turn. Bringing back back Earthquake and then sticking him a mask, a Cartman shirt and a pair of Mick Foley's stained joggers?

 

I'm not surprised ICP didn't let them use the music after listening to their YouShoot. They came in on the deal that they would get adverts for their album and work the shows for free, but the adverts never aired while they were getting routinely stiffed by the Headbangers for no money.

Did the Oddities bring Minka or another massive tits pornstar out with them as another freak, or was that just a dirty dream I had once?

 

Minka did a match against the Outsiders in '99 on Nitro.

 

That was some tits for hire than used turn up on the likes of Howard Stern called Rachel Rocketts. She was on ECW once as well, with Cyrus, so he must have been shagging her or something. I swear she was on an episode of Hardcore TV just running up and down the stairs as Cyrus did some Ben Dover style grunts to the camera.

 

This talk of shite like the Oddities reminds me, anyone remember when they still had Gorilla Monsoon doing announcing in 98 and 99 on the D-shows? Wrestling's version of putting Granddad in a home, that. Something about Monsoon being around during that era is so hard on my brain, even though I actually watched it. Hearing him commentate today some 15 years after he died seems more plausable.

 

Wasn't he with Dr Tom on Superstars? There was some right dog commentary teams for international WWF broadcasts in 98/99. Bruce Prichard as a babyface PbP guy along with Terry Taylor on Shotgun Challenge standing out as "ugh" more than any.

Not sure if someone suggested it for Golga, but a 'virtually invincible because they can't be pinned' hunchback tag team was a Jim Herd idea, which morphed into the Ding-Dongs (presumably via the Notre Dame, "the bells, the bells!" route).

He and his co-commentators on those shows were still referring to decisions he'd have to make as WWF President, even though it was clear by then that evil Mr McMahon was calling all the shots.

just to go back to Golga for a second, did anyone ever mention how they got the effect for his mad skull disease under his mask? The closest any of us at the time got was theorizing that he downed half a packet of salted peanuts and tipped the other half into his mask when he was getting changed
