10 DUMB WWE Booking Decisions (We Didn't Want To Admit Were GENIUS!)

10. Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco = Stooges

Who knew that two old timers from wrestling's past would become linchpins of the 'Attitude Era'? Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco debuted as "stooges" for Vince McMahon in the late-1990s, and they'd reclaim lost relevancy whilst having an absolute blast on TV every week. It was fun to watch Pat and Gerald have fun.

McMahon going up against Steve Austin was serious business, but the feud was laced with countless comedic moments and the Patterson with Brisco double act helped massively with that. They were willing to clown themselves without hesitation - it was an inspired decision that seemed silly at first.

Again, who knew?!

Patterson and Brisco butted heads whilst trying to help their boss. They were clumsy, slow, stupid, arrogant and more. Both ticked every box necessary for the role, and that's why their work became treasured by a new generation of fans. This could never have worked so well with anyone else. Both were perfect as comedy foil.
