10 WWE One-Offs So Bad You Forgot They Existed
1. Pocket Rocket
There will be lots of fans out there who don't recall The Heart Throbs tag-team that lit up (ahem) WWE's doubles scene in 2005. Antonio and Romeo were a real throwback to the mid-to-late-1980s, but they did have a great look and weren't exactly shabby in-ring either. Still, fans struggled to care.
Thus, it was mascot time. That'll put butts in seats, eh?
Ex-"Junior's Division" star (ahem!) Short Sleeve Sampson was enlisted to play the part of "Pocket Rocket" on the 25 July '05 episode of Raw. There, he teamed with Antonio to face the team of Cloacas and Viscera (think FTR but nothing like them) in the answer to an obscure WWE trivia question and nothing more.
This was "Rocket's" only televised showing before Sampson was put out to pasture and never seen again. His erm.. sexy dancing failed to electrify fans in Cleveland, and he exited stage left before watching his Heart Throb buddies do the same the next year.
