11 Wrestlers Who Masqueraded As Rosebuds
7. Simon Gotch
Before Simon Gotch began teaming with Aiden English as The Vaudevillains, he was an 11-year veteran of the independent scene. Gotch's gimmick there wasn't too different to the one he has now, as he was best known as Ryan Drago, an old-timey grappler in the vein of George Hackenschmidt and Frank Gotch.
Before Simon Gotch began teaming with Aiden English as The Vaudevillains, but after his indie stint, Gotch was a Rosebud. He was a part of the party from the very beginning, known for his preposterous moustache and fondness for red and white striped shirts. A fetching red fez completed the look, although Gotch's facial expressions generally gave off a sinister air.
The future doesn't look too hot for The Vaudies, so could reverting back to the party way of a life breathe new life into Gotch's career? I dare say it would work as well for Gotch as it did for Rose.
