10 Terrible WWE Religious Gimmicks

5. Friar Ferguson

Despite most monks sort of 'having a thing against suffering', Friar Ferguson had no problem hitching up his cassock, taking a vow of violence and dispensing some justice by the good book. He was ebullient, fat and constantly swigging from a wine gourd. His finishing move was to sit on his opponents so that their head disappeared underneath his robes. He also had an apparent vow of silence, communicating via a notepad on a loop of strong around his neck. He would draw smiley faces on it, and then punch people in the face for the Lord. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxTcr3J1zQQ Like the Flying Nuns before him, Ferguson was another comedy religious character, a 'mad monk' whose only hook was how daft religious figures were. He lasted for only a cup of coffee in the WWF before pressures from Catholic Church of New York forced his exiling back to his monastery within weeks of arriving. The man behind the monk, Mike Shaw, was repackaged and debuted with a brand new gimmick. Surely this one HAD to be more successful. He became Bastion Booger. Look it up.
