Was the tattoo on his head real? He didn't have it as Brian Adams in WCW, but then again it seems like a weird sort of thing to apply if it was just make-up. Was it lasered off? Here's a very hi res pic {Spoiler}  |

Why is it so odd to be fake? I mean:  |

My best guess is that it was a temporary tattoo that could just be reapplied when it started to fade.

I will seriously NEVER understand why Vince kept Crush on so long and kept bringing him back. My only guess would be his mother or father was a random Vince Sr. employee and he wanted his son to make sure they or their son were taken care of.
As for the tattoo is does look real and guys have gotten tattoos for gimmicks before (Adam Bomb went from a bird-like animal on his arm to the Adam Bomb name and logo) and of course John Tenta had the shark. Waylon Mercy's tattoos (template re-used for Billy Gunn's "Godfather") and I was always surprised those didn't rub off as Hakushi's seemed to.

I didn't care if it was real or not, it gave him a bad-ass look. You're in jail (everyone knew, the press covered it - the WWF just ran with it) and you get a prison tattoo on your forehead? That's not a guy I'd wanna cross paths with.

He was a big guy that could maintain his strength and physique clean at a time everyone of any size was getting fired for failed pee tests or deflating like a balloon. I assume Vince kept him around in the hope he'd develop mic skills as he could have been a big deal but it never happened. |

He just doesn't look like a star.
Loved him as kroner Crush... hated his generic biker greaseball look.

I am a huge Crush mark. I always found him to have a great look, good in the ring, and just fun. From 3rd member of Demolition to Kronik he did no wrong for me.

Wasn't he one of Taker's buddies?

Wasn't he one of Taker's buddies? Yeah, & he was tight with Macho Man too. I always thought Crush was a good hand to have around. You knew he'd never be a major player, but he was an imposing midcard brute. |

These were the same two guys (Kronik) that stunk up the WWF mid card just a few years ago. Without the drug reference they're nothing to begin and without the APA type gimmick they aren't going to keep fans in the stands. I guess what shocks me most is that they (Kronik) or fans didn't expect them to be asked to remedial training. Me personally, I would've never brought them back. At least with Buff, Luger and Jarrett he would get something out of it. Fans would cheer to see Buff destroyed, he can have Jarrett job to even the lowest card guys (payback for the IC title holdup) and Luger at least has that greek god-like appeal. |

There's also the mind numbing decision of booking Kronik to debut against Undertaker and Kane to begin with. You don't start out a team of two 300+ lbs. giants against a team that's even bigger than they are, and have them go over ten minutes to boot. Let them throw around the Hardys or something and play to their strengths. |

I thought the heel-turn Crush of 1994 was cool. His feud with Savage was awesome. Awful talker though. You can hide up poor ring skills if you can talk. Even today. He never stood a chance.

Crush was seemingly an "old school" locker room guy, and he also tight with Bret Hart. He was the one guy who outright quit the WWF over the Montreal Screwjob.
