20 WWE Attitude Era Superstars You Forgot Existed

Wrestling fans think of two things when the name Kaientai is brought up. Firstly, they think of that "Indeeeeeeed" dubbing that got over big time for a spell in 2000. Second, they think of Taka Michinoku (who appears to be quietly dominating this list) and future "SmackDown's number one announcer" Funaki.

Nobody spares a thought for Dick Togo.

Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson have had a few giggles on their podcast about that name. Read one way, it's innocent. Read another, not so much - Conrad pointed out that one could pronounce Dick's surname as separate words. Basically, he'd be "Dick To Go". As in, penis whenever you want it.

It's kinda' sad that this sophomoric humour has come to dominate chatter about Togo's WWF career, because he was really quite the worker. Watch a handicap bout from Over The Edge 1998 (Kaientai vs. Taka and Bradshaw) to see Dick show off some serious skills, for example.
