10 WCW Managers You Totally Don’t Remember
3. J. Biggs
A hot mess.
Looking back now, WCW's product between 1999-2001 is fascinating. The company burned through so many ideas in an attempt to reclaim past glories, and they were determined to repackage every successful old gimmick with the add-on "2000". For example, nWo 2000 and Harlem Heat 2000.
Stop shuddering, because there's a point to all this nightmarish reminiscing. In '99, WCW hired ex-WWE manager Clarence Mason and changed him into 'J. Biggs'. He played the same lawyer gimmick, hung around with Kanyon for a while and then brought back Harlem Heat. The difference? Booker T wasn't Stevie Ray's partner - Big T/Ahmed Johnson was.
Biggs only lasted a few months in 'Dubya-C-Dubya' before being released from his contract. Maybe he looked around at what else was on tap post-Heat 2000, thought 'f*ck this' and went back to his real-life practicing attorney gig. Or, maybe WCW didn't have anything else for him to do after that gimmick flopped.
