10 Wrestlers Who F*cked Up On Their First Day

The Warrior debuting in WCW was an ego massage of Hulk Hogan's - g o t t o g e t t h a t w i n b a c k b r o t h e r - and a rather desperate move. Even in the year of Goldberg's ascent to the main event, it stigmatised WCW as a promotion bereft of creativity and unable to stay relevant. But it didn't have to be nearly so sh*tty.

The Warrior fancied himself as a great talker with lots of profound things to say about the spirit of warriors and how they can't be destrucicitised or whatever the f*ck he was on about.

But he really wasn't.

He was fantastic value talking utter blathering sh*te for about two minutes standing in front of that gorgeous blue WWF background. He was also phenomenal at playing it very sinister, ahead of his Ultimate Challenge of Hogan at WrestleMania VI. Well, it didn't do a bloody thing to get him over as a babyface successor, but still: awesome.

The exact time of his infamous debut promo has taken on a life of its own, exaggerated into myth by how long it felt like. Between his mystifying talk of epical battles (sic), demise preparations, and inexhaustible truths - he really was as thick as pig sh*t, and what's worse, he thought himself clever - he went on for literally 20+ minutes. This was well over his allotted time. Nitro had to be rewritten as it was unfolding in real time.

Fewer people than you'd think changed the channel during this rambling nonsense, but fewer people than WCW expected returned to watch him the next week.
