10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Rockstar Spud

3. His 2002 Gimmick Was Hilarious

Take a gander at Rockstar Spud's early days from a previous entry and you'll see him spot a pretty gormless expression. Around 15 years later, Spud borrowed from his past and developed one of wrestling's most interesting ideas this year. After a nasty bump on the head, he believed he was back in 2002 at the start of his wrestling journey.

The character was aimed at longtime fans of the UK indie scene, but also humoured Spud's peers who remembered his first few years in wrestling. If you have the inclination, scroll through old posts on Spud's Twitter account. It really is a blast when he talks about working his "first show" or meeting his "favourite wrestlers for the very first time".

If WWE's creative team can work with Spud to concoct anything even half as entertaining as this was, then he'll become a firm favourite on 205 Live. The gimmick mixed elements of Eugene with the UK man's own natural charisma, and it must be seen to be believed.

Do it before calendars turn to 2003.
