Leslie's next gimmick was that of The Booty Man, a sort of precursor to Billy Gunn's 'Mr Ass' phase. The Booty Man would dress in bright, flamboyantly coloured mesh and tassels, looking more like a poor man's Ultimate Warrior than the good-natured comedy babyface WCW were probably going for. Leslie would shake his backside on his way to the ring (and even during matches), accompanied all the while by Kimberly Page, imaginatively rechristened as The Booty Babe. His finisher became a high knee, or "hiney", presumably drawing groans from the announce table whenever it was it. Even in the cartoonish era of Leslie's prime, this gimmick would have struggled to lift itself off the bottom of the card, a one-dimensional, lazily thought-out mess. The Booty Man would even turn heel and attempt to join the nWo, only to be beaten down and thrown out of the company - which was strange, as seemingly everybody was allowed to join the nWo. He took a hiatus for two years before returning as the stable's bodyguard, The Disciple, which was mercifully Leslie's last WCW gimmick before his 1999 departure.
