10 Most Unlikely WWE Trends
Booty, Kazoos, Crotch Chops and Sweatsocks!
Pointing his fingers skyward and pumping his arms in unison, Daniel Bryan's repeated cries of 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' became synonymous with his character. Fans performed the gesture and chanted along with Bryan enthusiastically, fully invested in his underdog persona.
It wasn't difficult to see why the catchphrase caught on; it was simple and fit well with the idea that WWE management were saying 'no' to a Daniel Bryan main event push.
Why that particular phrase became popular isn't a mystery, but that hasn't always been the case with others.
On occasion, there have been those aspects of WWF/WWE characters that definitely leave people scratching their heads. All of the ones included here would certainly have to fit into the unlikely category, bizarre examples of throwing the rule book out of the nearest window when it comes to predicting success in wrestling.
From a super-heavyweight making good use of his rear end, to a main event star using a simple sweat sock to send fans wild, let's take a look at some of the most absurd trends in WWF/WWE history...
10. Perry Saturn And 'Moppy'
Signed in early 2000, Perry Saturn made his way to the WWF alongside Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero. Coming in as a quartet from WCW, the group were dubbed 'The Radicalz', but it didn't take long for their momentum to subside.
Guerrero and Benoit would go on to bigger things eventually, but Malenko and Saturn proved bit-part players.
At some point in 2001 following the breakup of The Radicalz, Saturn's character was changed completely. No longer was he a hard-nosed wrestler with Terri Runnels by his side, he was now a lunatic figure who - following supposed head trauma in storyline - quickly formed a bizarre relationship with a mop.
Rumour has it that this was in response to Saturn beating up jobber Mike Bell during a WWF Jakked taping.
Known as 'Moppy', the household item was one Saturn carried with him everywhere. He even picked the mop over Terri, and the fans lapped the whole scenario up. Carrying Moppy with him was the most over period of Pez's WWF/WWE career, which is a truly unique thing to be able to claim.
It turned him babyface, because fans enjoyed his random outbursts of 'You're Welcome!' and infatuation with the floor-cleaner. Who could have imagined a mop would get over?
