13. Dustin Rhodes

X Pac WWE Debut
WWE Network

One of the most hilarious moments in the history of professional wrestling, [Rainier Wolfcastle voice] it wasn’t a comedy.

Dustin Rhodes played a character even more problematic than the gay panic predator that was Goldust. ‘Seven’ was a child molester, and it can only be inferred that this was classic LOLWCW stuff akin to naming a heel act after a plan for the mass genocide of the worldwide Jewish population. In a vignette, Seven hovered outside of a young boy’s window. “Awake, my son,” he said. “Come with me and live forever,” he followed up, before inviting the child to join him “in complete bliss, mmmm, that’s right”.

“Mmmm, that’s right” is what male pornographic actors say when satisfied at the fellatio prowess of their co-stars, for f*ck’s sake.

Rhodes played this character for about three minutes, before swiftly burying it on his debut. “My new name’s Seven, by the way,” he said with glorious deadpan, before rubbishing his ‘Uncle Fester’ look.

An incredibly dangerous waste of precious time: WCW, everybody.
