Bix Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 How could we forget this man At one of the Arezzi fan conventions I went to as a kid he was in his vest and trunks signing autographs for the fans waiting in line to get into the ballroom. It was horrifying.
Tim Evans Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 If we are counting Ronnie Gossett, got to go with Bert Prentice and Randy Hales too. Macho Warrior Ric Hogan, Billy Joe Travis circa late 90s, Cham Pain, Ls Fiera, Mocha Cota, Emilio Charles Jr.
Dylan Waco Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Posted March 25, 2012 Balls Mahoney should have been one of the first ones that came to mind. I don't even if he looked worse as Boo Bradley or Balls. I do know he looks like he's on deaths door these days
MikeCampbell Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 How about virtually everyone in Raven's Flock in WCW. Totally agree on Jimmy Del Rey, he looks like Kenny's on South Park.
EricR Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 I'm more skeezed out by current guys like Randy Orton, who just ooze date rape. All the guys mentioned so far fall into the creepy carnival worker look, which is skeezy. But there are tons of Ortons out there (just look at the ROH roster) who come off to me as the Ted Bundy-style charming brunette dude who obsessively reads "The Collector".
JerryvonKramer Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 I feel like we are missing some obvious ones Surely Jake Roberts?
Herodes Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Some more scum: Phil Hickerson Dennis Condrey Killer Tim Brooks Tarzan Goto Herodes Batten Twins Simpson Brothers Dirty White Boy ..and maybe the scummiest...Flex Lavender (Google image search at your own peril..picture an even scummier Jimmy Del Rey)
Jingus Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Balls Mahoney should have been one of the first ones that came to mind. I don't even if he looked worse as Boo Bradley or Balls.Ditto. Most of the other guys named at least look like they've washed their gear sometime in the past month. Balls's outfits always looked like they were in the middle of decomposing. How about virtually everyone in Raven's Flock in WCW.Heh, I still remember a 1998 Bruce Mitchell column where he made the compelling argument that the Flock was a veiled, coded version of a specifically homosexual cult with Raven as the leader who "turns people to the dark side". Not in a whiny "...and that's offensive!" tone, but just analyzing their individual roles and comparing them to traditional negative stereotypes within the gay community. Early young Kidman was the archetype of "the runaway teenager, desperate and broke, picked up at a bus station" iirc.
Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Oh, duh: Buck Zumhoffe looked like and WAS a sex offender. Zumhoffe ran a show featuring the Honkey Tonk Man at a tiny bar near my hometown about a year ago. I had a few beers with Zumhoffe after......strange dude.
KB8 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 I feel like we are missing some obvious ones Surely Jake Roberts? He was the guy that I thought of first. Jake in SMW was just ridiculously scummy looking (although it's not like he didn't look like a scumbag everywhere).
rainmakerrtv Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Oh man Mr. Donnie wow, Tommy Rich in that era as well was ridiculous. It was amazing to see him turn himself around to get a gig with Turner. I remember on DVDVR joking about how Tommy Rich made his meth dealer his manager. Somebody then informed that they were at those shows and, yes, that's exactly what happened.
Dylan Waco Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Posted March 25, 2012 Anyone who has not seen the glories of Mr. Donnie has no clue what they are missing. Seriously the most terrifying ringside presence I can remember. I want to hear drunken Buck Zumhoffe stories
S.L.L. Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 I feel like we are missing some obvious ones Surely Jake Roberts? Taking it a step further, Mid-South era Jake Roberts rocking the belly shirt.
khawk20 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 I want to hear drunken Buck Zumhoffe stories I don't know if Buck was drunk, but I had this story e-mailed to me by a guy I was talking with on KM about some AWA stuff. This e-mail was from December 12, 2003: Last Sunday December 7th there was a show in my town and in the dressing room Little Kato(Midget) and Buck Rock n Roll Zumhofe got into a scuffle. Kato who is 4ft6 and about 125 was laying into Buck who is about 6ft and 240 or so verbaly because he felt Buck didnt want him on the show ( Thats true he didnt). Zumhofe further angered Kato by saying he charged too much and that the promoter was stupid for booking him Kato called Zumhofe a bastard and Buck jumped on him and tried to put his finger in Katos eye he was pulled off by Bobby Dean and some of the other guys. Kato had a scratch by his eye and some bruising to his neck. I bet you didnt know Buck was a shooter! This happened in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
tomk Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Kato and Little Bobby Dean are Lord Littlebrook's kids.
Victator Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Balls Mahoney should have been one of the first ones that came to mind. I don't even if he looked worse as Boo Bradley or Balls. I do know he looks like he's on deaths door these daysI would put Axl Rotten ahead of him slightly. I would hate to even touch Mahoney, but I'm not comfortable even standing near Axl.
Strummer Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 it's been years but wasn't Chic Donovan the protype for one the workers in the old Tecmo wrestling game?
tomk Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 For the most part I agree with Eric. That said was Baron Leone's actual gimmick "The Smiler"?

KrisZ Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Some of CZW's finest Ric Blade Johnny Kashmere & Matt Walsh Lobo
Al Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Necro Butcher in a way. The McGuire Twins. But I think Happy Humphrey absolutely takes the cake.

I'd put in Mike Rotunda as I.R.S. (or his similar WCW gimmicks), mostly because there's a scene in Wall Street with Charlie Sheen wearing the white shirt, tie and suspenders that instantly remind me of him. All that was missing were the glasses.
