10 @CrrankyVince Tweets You Hope Weren't Based On Real Life
3. The Return Of The Jock Strap
https://twitter.com/CrrankyVince/status/295898491329323008 Peter Polaco may have eventually been able to somewhat redeem himself upon performing as Justin Credible in WWE, but longtime fans may never forget his 'Portuguese Man Of War' gimmick, Aldo Montoya. Wearing garish tights and a horrific yellow mask, which looked for all the world like the guy had a jock strap on his head, Montoya didn't make much of a splash during the mid-90's, and was released in 1997. On a lighter note for the guy, Justin Credible had serious success in ECW, winning the Heavyweight Title, and routinely being booked strongly, also forming The Impact Players with Lance Storm. Sure, his second shot at life with WWE yielded similar results to the first, but at least he didn't have to wear that mask! The thought of McMahon wanting to bring back the Montoya character sends a shiver up the spine. Remember when the WCW braintrust thought it'd be a good idea to turn a hot Booker T into GI Bro? Well, turning CM Punk into Aldo Montoya would be ten times worse. If this had ever happened, in some strange alternate universe, 'the voice of the voiceless' would have instead been the head of the job-seeking queue.
