C.S. Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Zeb Coulter (Dutch Mantell) managing Alberto Del Rio was another head-scratcher. Ditto for Ricardo Rodriguez and Rob Van Dam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Lanny Poffo and Mr. Perfect. Heenan should have been with him right from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Still trying to figure out how anyone in Stamford thought that Paul Orndorff & Sir Oliver Humperdink was a great fit by any stretch of the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War is Raw Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 BTW, as this is an old thread, just wanted to mention besides the previously mentioned Cesaro example, Paul Heyman with Curtis Axel and Ryback also bombed. They tried to recreate the "I'm a Paul Heyman Guy" gimmick that Paul had with Punk (who really didn't need him anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herodes Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 With all due respect to Don Vincenzo Cotroni, Dino Bravo and Frenchy Martin are not OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 At least, it didn't last that long. They moved Dino to Jimmy Hart and it was a much better fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Harlem Heat as a pair of prisoners won in a card game by Col. Rob Parker was probably the worst thing I saw on television as a child. So that has to be included on this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteF3 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think it actually did air, on the same episode of TV where the Giant did a moonsault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Well, where is joeg from? It's not online anymore, but there used to be a match on YouTube from Germany TV where Harlem Heat—I think using that name but I'm not sure—won a squash wearing prison uniform tops with wrestling tights. It never aired in the U.S. In light of that, it's not exactly a stretch that matches featuring Colonel Parker's Posse aired overseas.

Dale Wolfe Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 The show for DSF in Germany was an edit of a few different shows, right? You used to be able to get DSF action on moody satellite in the UK but it was so long ago I might be confusing myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 DSF showed exclusive Alex Wright matches that didn't air on the US equvalent show and I think they showed Frank Andersson ones too, so very conceivable that Harlem Heat match aired also. I didn't discover DSF until 1994 so that would've been after the Posse in prison garb so can't verify on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
