6. Paul E. Dangerously Managing "Mean" Mark Callous - WCW (1990)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_K1bLEwNzs By 1990, Mark Calaway wasn't portraying an ex-con nor a "Skyscraper," instead he was a menacing big man whose managerial control had moved from Teddy Long to Paul E. Dangerously. Of course, WCW in 1990 was booked by Bill Watts, so here come the natural athletic accomplishments being added to the "Mean Mark" character. As well, Paul E. adds in an awesome story of Callous pushing his wheelchair bound grandmother down a flight of stairs and being in a home for juvenile delinquents for four years. Of course, neither of these things are actually true, but they do add heat to "Mean Mark" as a character.
