10 WCW Superstars Who Should Blame WWE For Their Crappy Gimmicks

5. Buzzkill (Road Dogg)

Brad Armstrong was a very good in-ring performer in NWA/WCW through the 1980s and 1990s. Out of the four Armstrong brothers (Scott, Steve & Brian) that were sons of "Bullet" Bob Armstrong, Brad was considered to be the best in-ring performer. He had a lot of success in his career. His brother Brian was better known as Road Dogg in WWE and was the most well known of the brothers. Then Vince Russo came along to WCW in late 1999 and he told Armstrong to find a gimmick. They acknowledged that he was brothers with Road Dogg in WWE, whose real name was Brian. They even said on camera: "Call your little brother for a gimmick." That was WCW being "smart" and cool at least in their eyes. It was so cheesy to watch this stuff. When Armstrong appeared on TV again, he was called "Buzzkill" and they did a total ripoff of Road Dogg. His music was pretty much the same thing and so was the entrance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCDQTkvlbdo "It's me, it's me, it's that B-U-Double Z." The gimmick failed miserably. It was a shame because Brad was a really good performer. It just made WCW a second rate promotion, which is definitely was by that point.
