10 Wrestling Gimmicks That Only Lasted ONE Segment

10. Rufus “Pancake” Patterson

Might as well start off hot.

Five years before creating his own 'Slip N' Slide' at the 2018 Greatest Royal Rumble, Titus O'Neil introduced the world to Rufus "Pancake" Patterson. There, on the 18 March 2013 episode of Raw, he and partner Darren Young asked why John Cena was getting all of WWE's merch money instead of them.

Titus, as the goofy Patterson, sported an afro wig and wore some overalls for the night. WWE barely tried to give this alter ego any context whatsoever - the announcers actually acted like O'Neil had gone off-script to deliver this Cena-bashing promo. It was as weird a segment as it sounds, and it was "Pancake's" only one.

Patterson didn't return for a second go-around the next week, and has never been referenced again on television. Christ knows what Titus and WWE were actually going for here. The Prime Time Players didn't need this bizarre offshoot.
