You didn't even get the worst of them!!
I don't remember the Bossman hanging himself, but somehow I believe it.
The gay guy who 'married' Billy Gunn was 'Chuck', Chuck Palumbo, who actually still works for the company, believe it or not.
The arab guy's name is Muhammed (original, huh?) Hassan. Just 1 week before the London bombings, he had 5 masked guys come out and pummel the Undertaker with sticks. The commentator called the masked men 'terrorists', even though most of them were actually white men, and all they did was beat someone up.
The Rock is part Samoan, and they used to refer to that often, but he was anything but a savage. But many are like that. Umaga, The Samoan Swat Team, and more.

It's all relative, really. Sure, we aren't talking about Shakespeare in the park, but even the WWF had some kind of standards (what standards, I really wouldn't know, but I'm sure it had some). |
WWE/WWF and standards..hehhehe.....That's funny
The "gimmicks" off the top of my head in no particular order
1. Having the Big Boss Man hang himself in the middle of the ring
2. Al Snow eating his dog...haha....
3. Cryme Tyme....2 Black wrestlers whose gimmick was beating people up, stealing their stuff and selling it....Brilliant
4. The gay marriage angle with hmmm Billy Gun and some guy I can't think of at the moment.
5. The very real issue of Matt Hardy getting cheated on by his girlfriend Lita with another wrestler who in real life was his best friend. I couldn't believe they let that bleed over into the script....
6. That Arab wrestler who pissed everyone off after 9-11. What the hell was his name again?
7. Nearly every Samoan wrestler ends up being some sort of "Savage" even to this day with Umaga.....
Yeah....I know too much. I blame my dad!  |

I busted out those 7 at the spur of the moment and definitely off the top of my head. There is probably a top 100 list somewhere on the internet. Chuck Palumbo...hahah....Funny they have him repackaged as this tough biker guy now....how the public forgets
Muhammed Hassan....yeah I know that they gave him the axe but kept his mouthpiece Davari around. Turns out that he's not a half bad wrestler... |

| Remember Beaver Cleavage? He lasted 2 whole matches before breaking character and trashing the gimmick on national TV. |

He was 'Mosh' from the Headbangers. His tag team partner was out with an injured knee.
He came to the ring in baby clothes and was in black and white, with 'Mrs. Cleavage', who was his real life g/f. The gimmick lasted 2 matches before he broke character and became 'Chaz'.

The Howard Stern SHow has picked up on the Iron Sheik in the last few weeks and Artie has been doing great impersonations of him. "Randy Savage is a *beep*... He's a gaaayy...."
Heard he is supposed to be coming onto the show sometime soon.
Btw. Don't think Iron has burned too much of a bridge with WWE. He was on the show for cameo 3-4 weeks ago. |
Yeah, I'm loving the Sheik stuff on the Stern Show. Artie really has a good handle on it. Hilarious |
