Can we count the 14 year mission to get Albert over as one? How about: Phantasio, Friar Ferguson, ECW Zombie, Muffy the trainer (Muffy Mouse from Today's Special would be more neat, she would also draw more heat) ?? Big Bossman at the end of his run when he was just "Boss Man" and dressed like Big Bubba again. Public Enemy in WWF, full stop. The Zombie was a one-off character. I don't think there were any long term plans for him. Muffy wasn't even supposed to wrestle, was she? She was just Steph's personal trainer. Phantasio and Friar Ferguson were just part of WWF's "Cartoon Gimmicks" era. There didn't seem to be any direction for them other than to squash jobbers for a few months and vanish. In the end, the plug was pulled on them before they could even get to a second match.

I believe it was on Shutgun, but I can't remember which act she was with, though I thought it was either Oddities, Headbangers, or Kaientai. The woman with the crazy-sized boobs who was with the Outsiders on Nitro was an Asian woman who uses the name Minka. This is not the same woman who was briefly in WWF in 1998. It was definitely the Oddities, as she had a "Jackyl me off" t-shirt on. Okay, I found who I was looking for. Rachel Rocketts. She may have made more than one appearance because once she wore a 'Smells Like Ratings' shirt.

I have the vaguest memory of Boss Man dressing like that near the tail-end of his run. It may have been on Sunday Night Heat or something. I definitely remember it because of how different his attire was to what he had been wearing since 1998. I've found his last few matches and he is wearing the black security outfit. He may have made additional non-wrestling appearances in the Big Bubba attire after these matches. Or maybe he used the Big Bubba attire briefly and then went back to the black security outfit. I did find a late Boss Man match where he wore grey pants with the black security top, which was different.

I remember 2002 Bossman wrestling in the riot gear, but wearing suits in segments where he wasn't competing.

Rikishi King Mabel Mickie James oh wait my bad... BRACKUS Rikishi may have been a bust as a main event level heel, but overall he had a memorable and successful career. The crowd was STILL into him during his last appearence I was doing this whole thing where I mistook the word "busts" for butts. Then I realized it and made the correct answer. This is genius comedy, people, try and keep up!

Lex Luger wins this easy, and I say this as a fan of the guy. There just isn't any comparison.

Kizarny, WWF New York, Kharma Well, if we're including establishments, I'd say the XFL takes the cake here.

Vladimir Kozlov definitely comes to mind. Drew McIntyre could have a case made for him too, but he fell off the tracks well before he reached the point where he had PPV world title slots and clean wins against guys who almost never do clean jobs. Kozlov I think beat Shawn Michaels and Undertaker the exact same week, both of them clean as a whistle using a move that wasn't even his finisher or signature in Taker's case.
After that I'll throw in one for Ezekiel Jackson and Vance Archer. Vance is one of those cases where once he left the small pond of TNA, he found himself out of his league. Ezekiel Jackson at one point was shown withstanding chair shots from Triple H, and of course was the final WWECW champion. Then when he came back from injury he was put in the Corre and made Intercontinental Champion during the split, but then went on the fast track to nowhere.

Put me down for Ted Junior CASH IRON.
I remember just being flabbergasted at WWE's constant attempts to make him happen and how I knew none of that shit was going to take because he was a vanilla dude who is a solid but boring wrestler.
I'm not even going to agree it was a minority of fans who thought that way about him, because I remember being totally vindicated when Randy Orton flattened Dusty Rhodes during their Legacy run, the crowd went nuts for Cody to turn on Orton. I don't remember CASH IRON ever getting reactions like that his entire career.
