In 2000-era WCW, just above the bemused commentary, bored crowd conversations, and the flesh-on-flesh fapping of Vince Russo getting off on himself, a familiar noise swelled in the mix. It sounded a bit like the southern-fried twang distortion of Jim Johnston's 'Oh, You Didn't Know?' - only the last, major key note was just off enough to enter pathetic soundalike territory.
The theme heralded the arrival of Buzz Kill - sorry, 'that B-U-Double-Z' - a man who, with a slight proto-CJ Parker hippie modification, was very much a Road Dogg ripoff - an odd act to plagiarise, given that his popularity was very much on the wane. In addition to the almost-literal note for note plagiarism, there was a note of pure sadness to this, for Brad Armstrong ripped off his own brother. It wasn't even a case of a kid wanting to emulate his cooler, older sibling; Brad was older, and clearly performed the schtick under much duress.
The tale of Brad Armstrong was a sad one; a real mechanical talent in pre-nWo WCW undercards, he never did find the act to match his evident talents.
