10 Worst Actors In WWE History

WWE has a history of appearances of one-off characters inserted to move a storyline along. Some are great (shout-out to you, Dr Shelby), some are functional and then there are... others.

We’ve all heard the stories of Vince McMahon rewriting TV up until the 11th hour and it may have been a lack of pre-planning that caused this segment in question to go horribly wrong. The company put out a call on March 16th 2015 for someone available later that day to play the lawyer of ‘Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev.

Local stand-up Doug Stone was chosen to picked for the part and, since the feud was not only over the United States title but also against all-American hero John Cena, the bewildered comedian was tasked with heeling it up with an over-the-top Russian accent. So over-the-top in fact that it fell flat immediately.

Not only were audiences at home laughing at the character, Vince McMahon it appears took to instructing his commentary team to do the same. JBL rips the guy a new one, turning the planned serious segment into something that paints the lawyer as a liar and a “phoney”. Booker T exclaims “did you hear that accent? This guy’s from Texas!”.

Doug Stone, we wish you all the best in your comedy career. Just don't try doing any impressions.
