I've been watching a lot of early 90s WCW over the last week and there's something I've noticed. I can NOT look at Johnny B. Badd during his entrance without laughing at how ridiculous he looked. He just came out in some weird blue hat with matching boa. He looked like a very camp police officer. He had previously come out in a similar red outfit. Anyone else have this problem?

He was a bit over the top when he first debuted, but toned it down a bit in his entrances as time went on. Was over with the fans as I remember.

Yeah, he gradually toned down the act over time, although he was still VERY flamboyant. Frankly, I always was a fan of the gimmick, and he was my mom's favorite wrestler for the longest time.

The Johnny B. Badd character totally ruined Mark Mero for me. I couldn't watch him without just thinking there's Johnny B. Badd.

I remember when he came to the WWF without the Johnny B. Badd gimmick. I was DISAPPOINTED!

Yes this was the kind of stuff WCW thought would get over in 1991. Though again when you have a guy who says in promos "I'm so pretty I should have been born a girl" you aren't really looking for much

Badd's mask vs Maxx Payne's guitar. Badd won, then a few nights later on Saturday Night he took off the mask during his match and looked completely normal. it pretty much took away all the drama of the previous matchup.

I never realized it before, but his entrance theme is correct: he DOES look like Little Richard... only white, although he looks black...
