So how did he go from being a surfer dude to cane swinging, hardcore beer drinking, cigar smoking wrestler? Long story short, the Mr. Sandman gimmick wasn't working with the hardcore Philly fans. When Heyman took control, either he or Tod Gordon (depending on who you believe) realized that James Fullington himself was far more entertaining than his character and they ran with it. The rest is Extreme History. And it was never cigars...cigarettes only...but I'm sure that's what you meant. |

Wikipedia covers the angle where they shifted him from 'surfer dude' to hardcore guy, here |

Wow, I totally forgot the "pimp" part...but it's pretty understandable since it was only for a very short time.

Lordy, lordy, I would've killed for him to be McMahon's kid.
Surfer dude becomes beer-drinking cane swinger becomes secret son of VKM....
