Wasn't there also a "Donkey From Shrek" gimmick in Mexico once? Y mañana, estoy haciendo gofres! (And tomorrow, I'm making waffles!) |

I'd say Davey Richards, but he rips off indies. Not quite the same thing.

 Coming to a playground near you! Unless a judge says otherwise. How... why have I not been here earlier!? "BEWARE! RIOT CONTROL IS COMING IN DRY!" |

In Harley Race's book, he tells a story about having to work in Mexico with a guy who was dressed as C3PO, then C3PO started shoot punching Harley, who then picked him in a Suplex and switched his stance so that the Mexican guy would land on his hip.
C3PO had to go to the hospital. I need to see that match.

This thread continues to make me happy. Honkey Kong still wining this hands down though.  |

Forgot to mention because I completely forgot about it before, but I was supposed to be a fake AJ Lee at one point, to manage my fake Ziggler boyfriend. I pointed out to them that a 6'1" white English girl with black and red hair isn't fooling anyone. So I managed him as my usual gimmick. Confusingly I was still announced as "April" for a few shows anyway... while looking like a less talented Paige.

Ok so since you have first hand experience... when doing this is it literally the goal to hope someone is dumb enough to fall for it and shell out extra money for a ticket where normally they wouldn't? I mean others are obviously just rip offs or done in "honor" of but some of them just flat out seem to be there to cause confusion for dumb people. |

Coming to a playground near you! Unless a judge says otherwise. I want these guys to become the official team of FAN. Someone get them on this board dammit. I've been looking to give a new wrestler an official section. |

I mean others are obviously just rip offs or done in "honor" of but some of them just flat out seem to be there to cause confusion for dumb people. Depends on the promotion. Ours was basically "Some people will pay the tenner to see The Undertaker and Kane wrestle in their town hall even if it's not actually them. It's not exacty like the real thing is ever gonna do that." We put it front and centre on the poster that we were a tribute act. An example using another art is that an Oasis tribute act called No Way Sis was in decently high demand during the late 90s because the real thing was so busy. Most people at our shows were from the UK indies anyway, this was like a better paying 2nd job because it fills an arena, and Joe Schmoe's promotion gets us ~£50 each a show (that's a little ore than a day's minimum wage) from whatever holiday resort booked us. Sadly I don't think even FWA, IPW or XWA draw that well anyway. 100 is an achievement. |
