Right, so calling Paul Bearer a "wrestler" is pushing it, but Oscar? You've probably forgotten all about the rapping Men On A Mission manager, and are rolling your eyes that he's included here. It's happening though, mainly because the story of how he got a job is just far too good.

Oscar was a big wrestling fan who happened to be in Las Vegas for WrestleMania IX. The WWF's crew was staying in a hotel adjacent to the outdoor arena, and this rapping fool seized the chance to punch his ticket when he saw Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard entering a nearby elevator in the lobby.

Sprinting in, Oscar rapped some lines for both WWF officials, and it must've been the most awkward thing ever. Amazingly, Vince got a kick out of it and told Mr. 'Whoomp There It Is' he had tickets to the show. Later, he also told Bruce to give Oscar a gig on television.
