Heading into 2000, one of the WWFs hottest acts was a fat, dancing Samoan and his sidekicks, two white wannabe hip-hoppers. To anyone under 20, that might sound ludicrous, but Rikishi and Too Cool were extremely popular. At the 2000 Rumble, Grand Master Sexay found himself alone with his buddy Rikishi, with the big guy in a groove, having eliminated three men already. Fortunately, Scotty 2 Hotty was the next entrant and rushed out with Rikishis sunglasses. They put the shades on the big Samoan and the three proceeded to do their entrance dance to a huge ovation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPFqdWoJMpQ Until Rikishi clotheslined and eliminated Too Cool. (Remember, its every man for himself!) Rikishi, Sexay and Scotty made up, and fans got a truly memorable moment.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fondly remembers watching WrestleMania III, IV, V and VI and Saturday Night's Main Event, came back to wrestling during the Attitude Era, and has been a consumer of sports entertainment since then. He's written for WhatCulture for more than a decade, establishing the Ups and Downs articles for WWE Raw and WWE PPVs/PLEs and composing pieces on a variety of topics.
