How did the E survive in the mid 90s with those corny gimmicks?

I lost it when I saw the Gigalo

They scaled the fukk back, held MNR at a single location, and cut all high-pay talent - who all ended up in WCW.

The original Back to Basics era

Monday Night Raw at Full Sail every week

Coke Boy gonna have to cut Cena loose with a Boston screwjob so John can go global or make an impact elsewhere...

I dont think the words "Ahmed Johnson" and ran go together nowadays

Ahmed had some cool plancha moves in his day

The lack of acknowledgement and disrespect being shown to The Goon in this thread is disgusting.

Still have no idea how that dude didn't destroy his knee or ankle wrestling on hockey skate shaped boots

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

I remember the talk of Ahmed possibly becoming the first black WWF champion. That cat was over man, and not in the 90's everyone was over type sense. Those crowds loved dude.

I remember thinking this guy was going to have a respectable mid-card career.

Jack swagger is 6'7'' jacked and a legitimate NCAA wrestler. Nicca would crumple you up like a piece of tissue paper

Wrestling in a controlled environment wiith rules doesn't = can fighht

 

[DocZulu]

That's a great point. A lot of those mid-level talents from the 90's would steal Sheamus' old spot as the #2 Heel/Face behind Orton, Cena and Big Show.
