1. The Return Of 'Razor Ramon' And 'Diesel'
If the Katie Vick saga was lame for attempting shock value and failing, this particular entry is lame for how desperate it came across. As 'Razor Ramon' and 'Diesel', Scott Hall and Kevin Nash experienced a lot of success in the WWF. In 1996, they decided to try their luck in WCW, leaving the company. Months later, the WWF started hyping the return of Razor and Diesel. On Raw, Jim Ross was playing a heel announcer character. Looking to stick it to Vince McMahon, he revealed that he had negotiated for the famous characters to return. Fans were excited, but that thrill would be entirely short-lived once 'Razor' and 'Diesel' did show up. For the purpose of pulling the wool over the eyes of fans, the WWF had Rick Bognar play the 'Bad Guy' and Glen Jacobs pretend to be 'Big Daddy Cool'. Immediately, the gimmicks were dead in the water. People felt insulted by the cheap swerve, and the whole ordeal was more than a little embarrassing. A lot of older UK wrestling fans will remember various 'tribute' shows to the WWF/WWE. On these events, independent workers dressed up as famous stars, and that's how the 'Fake' Razor Ramon and Diesel characters of 1996 came across. This idea was awfully ill-advised. What other ideas from WWF/WWE history did you think were lame? Do you agree with the ones listed here? Let us know what you think down in the comments section!
