Silly Little Guys Who Didn't Belong In WWE ?
2. Lance Cassidy
There was perhaps no worse a time for Steve Armstrong (he of the famous and once-considered "cursed" Armstrong wrestling family) to debut in WWE than October 1992.
The company was about to enter its leanest years, and not just because the headliners were suddenly looking a little smaller. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were given the Survivor Series main event following a wildly successful SummerSlam 1992 show at Wembley Stadium, but these were obscuring a cold reality brought into focus by Hulk Hogan's rash return in the spring - the bubble had burst.
Business was trending downwards and getting worse, Vince McMahon was all out of genuine creative solutions, and he had no choice but to lean on his elite tier wrestlers (Hart, Michaels, Mr Perfect, Scott Hall), long-tenured favourites (Randy Savage, temporarily Hogan and a soon-to-depart Ric Flair), and non-muscular monsters (Undertaker, Yokozuna, Giant Gonzalez) to try and pull him out of the hole.
If you couldn't slot yourself into one of those three, you weren't likely to see it through to the summer and lithe laughing cowboy Lance Cassidy sadly slipped through some harsh cracks. He was gone in four months.
