it's a shame we didn't get the Big Shockmaster, the Giant Shockmaster and the Piper Shockmaster

I don't even remember that. Incredible! He sure went nowhere in WCW. He looks like he lost a good portion of weight from WWF to WCW and even Summer 1993 to that match. I was questioning if it was Ottman. Then he was lumbering around the ring and I knew it was him!

Holy crap it's a real life Raiden/Big Bear from Fatal Fury/King of Fighters.  Somebody in wardrobe must have been an SNK fan. (and yes I do know the original inspiration for Raiden was another WCW star Big Van Vader) |

It reminds me of when Ye-tay went from mummy to the super ninja in the span of one month.

It makes me wonder if they actually had plans of doing a Shockmaster vs. Super Shockmaster angle at one point. Not sure how they would actually do that without two Uncle Freds though.

I have no idea how I missed this. It reminds me a little of the boss of the WCW NES game.  |

As goofy as the costume looks on him, if they had actually had him in that during the original Shockmaster entrance I'm not sure whether it would be nearly as memetic... probably.

Why the f*** were they so attached to the Shockmaster name? Putting Ottman under a mask and cutting his hair was a great idea to move on from the terrible Shockmaster/Uncle Fred thing, why did they feel the need to piggyback off something that wasn't over to create The Super Shockmaster?

Fred Ottman's shame glands must've never really developed in his youth or something, because I can't understand how he'd ever agree to go BACK to portraying anyone named Shockmaster again.  Well now, you bring up a good point, Vince. I hadn't considered that... It reminds me of when Ye-tay went from mummy to the super ninja in the span of one month. Well now the Yet-ay thawed out and became a mummy.......duh, that's just damned logical. Can't explain the other transformation but I either think you're just crazy mixing 2 people up like that, or I blame Bischoff. Whichever works. |

Shortly after his debut, Yeti showed up once or twice wearing Mortal Kombat-style ninja gear. By World War 3, they got around to changing his name to Super Giant Ninja. |

Were they going for a split personality thing, or would they phase out the "good" Shockmaster?

In retrospect, I could see it being a reboot of sorts for the character.

It was the nephew of the original Shockmaster, who Super Shockmaster called Uncle Fred
