10 Stupidest Things WWE Attitude Era Stars Had To Do
8. The Headbangers - Work In Cones
The Headbangers' 1999 reunion barely registered in comparison to the other enormous money-drawing stories being told at the time, which is perhaps why Thrasher and Mosh elected to make a bizarre change to their aesthetic as the new millennium approached.
It was sort of funny once, but not the funny where you laugh out loud funny. Especially not with The Rock legitimately popping you daft every other segment.
Shocking as it may seem, the cones didn't make a difference in the trajectory of the former tag team champions. By 2000, crowds were tired of Sean Waltman's textured television matches because the character had the temerity to be two years old, and it became such a phenomenon that the specific reaction was given his working name forever as a result. If punters weren't buying him anymore, what chance did the used-to-be-over Marilyn Manson fans from 1997 have?
In summary - if you ever want to know how quickly time passed during the Attitude Era, look for either Mosh and Thrasher's bouncing furry t*ts or crowd responses to X-Pac. Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton and others would have been eaten alive by this lot.
