He actually takes some decent bumps in his (terrible) cage match with Flair in 1994. He was able to coast along without trying for a long time. The fans ate it up anyway, and he knew it.

That man literally carried a traffic barricade to the ring with him. That was his gimmick apparently - a maintenance of traffic enthusiast. Wrestling needs more of that sort of indefensibly silly gimmickry, and I'm being completely serious. We also need another Meng. I wonder if Camacho is half the badass his father is.

Yeah, it's one thing to believe that Duke Drosse is a part time wrestler, part time garbage man, but a guy who just really loving loves traffic iconography? That's both believable and acceptable.

I work in video post-production, so i do a lot of music searches... nothing better than when you accidentally play someones entrance music on a site. Makes me think a lot of those themes were picked based on the price alone.

Yeah, he did a lot of music back during the '80s in the WWF and in WCW in the '90s (the stuff that wasn't production/stock music anyway) and especially in WCW his themes are pretty notorious for basically just being reworked versions of actual songs i.e. DDP's theme being "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
