10 Iconic Wrestling Gimmicks You Didn't Know Were STOLEN

10. Road Dogg

How do you rip off the Road Dogg?

Appropriate culture, enthusiastically hump mid-air like a dog with two penises, and send Tony Khan a fruit basket before calling him a bitch like an incel when he doesn't give you a job?

Not only is Road Dogg a difficult wrestling act to plagiarise, there's no real money in it. It was fun to chant along with his schtick in 1998 in the building, but nobody paid to enter those buildings to watch the guy. They were there to watch Steve Austin.

So which jelly-for-brains moron would think parodying the Road Dogg was a good idea?!

Why, Vince Russo, of course: as part of his 'Powers That Be' character, he told Brad Armstrong, one of the most underrated sellers and mechanics ever, that he needed a TV-friendly "gimmick". Armstrong was made to arrive at 'Buzzkill'. In a meta upon meta development, he parodied his own brother in a parody of a televised wrestling show.

It was just odd: Buzzkill came out to a soundalike of Road Dogg's theme, with cornrows and a similar "B U Double Z" call-and-response, but he was also an anti-marijuana campaigner?

Who were you ripping off: Road Dogg or Right To Censor?!
