RD, any plans to induct late WCW Mean Gene?

[default]

I just watched a clip on youtube of him insulting the Natural Born Thrillers, calling Sanders a prick and the rest piss ants before telling them to blow it out their asses and that he could have someone break O'Haire's kneecaps. I also remember a promo from around this time where he was staring at Madusa's boobs and some stuff with Pamala Paulshock.

It was sort of entertaining, but ultimately pointless as he should've just been a straight man since he was interviewing and it wasn't leading anywhere (then again nothing in WCW was at that point, really)

Wait, Mean Gene was sick?

[livetowin]

I'll show you a pole you can wrap that flag around!

[REDUNBECK~!]

I have eternal love for the episode of Nitro when Filthy Animals spray painted the Team Canada bus, and as Team Canada were crying over the travesty of it all, Mean Gene snuck up on them and screamed "WHY DON'T YOU CALL THE COPS, DAMMIT!?"

He was so unnecessarily angry, and yet he was giving them perfectly sound advice. It was so random and so, so great.

I loved angry/dirty old man Gene. They should have had him interview people on his front porch, but with him stopping the interview every few minutes to yell at some kids to get off of his lawn.

Seriously, don't ever put "late" and "Mean Gene" in a thread heading again.

God, that's one of my favorite segments ever. I wish I could find it!

I have only very vague memories of this, along with the rest of 2000 WCW, but didn't Mean Gene and Mark Madden have a "Kamloops Street Fight" in Kamloops BC of all places? I only ask because that amused the hell out of me, my crazy ex is from Kamloops.

[Agent P]

I just watched Thunder where he hit on Miss Jones

[MuffMasterMan]

God I hate misleading thread titles! You made me sad for a moment there.

A Kamloops Street Fight wouldn't have made much sense in Nanaimo, now would it?

Was Mean Gene drunk or just didn't care about his job at this point?

(This is a kayfabe question, by the way.)

[littlenaitch]

he probably didn't care

[Aaron E. Dangerously]

It was gold, man.

"Stick it up your ass, O'Haire!"

I thought most of it storyline wise was just because of the New Breed. Mean Gene was old school and came up with guys like Hogan, worked extensively with the older guys and was an old-timer himself.
