8 Totally Weird Inanimate Wrestling Sidekicks
8. Rocco the Dummy
One of the all-time worst decisions in wrestling history saw Vinnie Mac spice up the Legion of Doom by adding a ventriloquist dummy named Rocco to their act. Intended as a connection to the team's roots to help soften their image (!), Rocco was carried to the ring by Paul Ellering, and occasionally perched on the front of a motorcycle as the team roared into the arena.
But no matter how stupid you found this infamous mascot, there's no denying Rocco got a reaction from the crowd. They hated him. Not as much as LOD did, but still. Hawk and Animal hated him so much that they reportedly just left him behind at some airport, claiming he was "mysteriously lost."
No other inanimate sidekick ever came close to generating the mix of disdain and apathy that Rocco did.
