[1994-01-03-WWF-Raw] Interview: Sparky Plugg

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Sparky Plugg is on the race tracks. "Ol' Sparky is on his way to the World Wrestling Federation!"

[shoe]

I've always liked these vignettes and they really made you want to see the wrestler. Not here though.

[Kevin Ridge]

Sparky rolls his car very fast into the garage area.

I saw a funny clip from a shoot he did yesterday. He told someone he was a pro wrestler but was tight-lipped when the person asked him his name. When he finally told him, Bob said the guy laughed like the interviewer did when he said "Sparky Plugg".

[Exposer]

This was hysterical. I forgot the Sparky Plugg gimmick. This vignette was a funny way to remind me.

[soup23]

The graphic said Thurman Sparky Plugg? When did that change to Bob?

[ajtroma]

It wasn't until after SummerSlam that they changed it to Bob "Spark Plug" Holly

[PeteF3]

Sparky Plugg...Christ almighty. The Crush intros are still rock bottom as far as vignettes go, but the names of characters in '93, '94, and '95 are some of the worst ever.

[garretta]

What I want to know is how Vince came up with the name of Thurman. Something twlls me it wasn't a tribute to Thurman Munson, the Yankee catcher. Knowing him, I'll bet a kid named Thurman stole his lunch money or beat him up on the playground, and this is Vince's revenge.

 

Not much else to say, since I'm not a NASCAR fan.
