4. Once Used A Stunner As A Finisher
After his Husky Harris gimmick was written off WWE TV for good, Bray returned to FCW with a brand new character in March of 2011. He was known as Axel Mulligan, a psycho that wore incredibly ragged attire and wrestled in a hockey-style mask. This one may be a bit under the radar as Axel was never used on FCW TV, making only a handful of appearances at house shows. Not only did he work on a completely different gimmick, but his finisher was a stunner a la Stone Cold Steve Austin. Heres Wyatts version, recorded at a FCW house show... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_cxTzPtuD0&feature=youtu.be&t=5m55s No doubt it looked pretty good, but I wonder if Austin would have approved? Despite stealing that famous move, Axel was clearly a very early incarnation of what we would eventually see out his current gimmick.
