Going from wrestling lengthy tag matches alongside his brother in the 1970's to acting like a goof and fumbling around with Pat Patterson in lingerie must have been eye-opening for Gerald Brisco, but the legend told the Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling show that he loved every second.

Cast as a 'stooge' to the evil Mr. McMahon character, Brisco acted like a fool and did everything from take Stone Cold Stunners to sneakily becoming WWF Hardcore Champion. At the time, it would be easy to imagine that Brisco hated trading serious wrestling for comedic, often humiliating antics.

The truth is quite different. Gerald had a blast alongside Patterson and McMahon, so much so that he considers his time as a 'stooge' as the greatest period of his career. The exposure he experienced during the heights of the 'Attitude Era' probably have something to do with that.
