Scott Putski looked like the love child of Jason Momoa and Brendan Fraser in 'George Of The Jungle'. The son of WWF great Ivan, Scotty boy hoped to carve out his own path throughout the 90s. Things didn't quite pan out that way, but he did have a brief run during the Attitude Era.

Putski was part of the fledgling Light-Heavyweight Title scene in late-1997. Though he didn't actually take part in the tournament that crowned Taka Michinoku the inaugural champ, Scott did work a short feud with Taka's fellow finalist Brian Christopher.

He even teamed up with his dad to take on Bri and Jerry Lawler at one point.

Putski left the company after a match with Christopher at In Your House: Ground Zero. He'd later go on to work in WCW for a few years (who didn't?) before the group folded. At least he got that smouldering in-ring shot you see above, eh?
