8. Bastion Booger & Bam Bam Bigelow Fight Over Luna Vachon
Climactic Event: Monday Night Raw Location: Richmond Date: January 10, 1994 Lets be real Vince McMahon has a pretty unsophisticated sense of humor. Years of Doink the Clown, Mae Young, and Hornswoggle have borne that out. But Vinces tastelessness was never embodied in a single man until Bastion Booger rolled his way onto the scene. It was stupid and gross an morbidly obese man with a tiny singlet, munching on food on his way to the ring. And whats more, Booger couldnt wrestle worth a damn, and he couldnt sell well enough to put anyone else over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s74nT37ZNk The closest that Booger ever came to an angle was his feud with Bam Bam Bigelow, over the affections of Luna Vachon. I even remember reading a kayfabe article in WWF Magazine about whether Booger had room in his smelly heart for Luna. Fortunately, it didnt last long. Bam Bam destroyed him, and Booger was released from the WWE a short time afterwards. Wed like to forget about this ill-advised love triangle, but its impossible. Some things simply cannot be unseen.
