Maybe WCW's best cartoonish gimmick

I used to wonder how he got Madusa and Sherri to fight over him.  Jeez, him and "the ripping and the tearing" guy should form a wolfpac tearing up senior homes. The OSW boys did a great job in now I can't think about him without that "Mawmaw nawhon yon!" |

No less an authority than Missy Hyatt said that he had the largest penis in the wrestling business.
When confronted with this statement, he laughed, said he didn't know how she would know unless she'd seen it in the locker room but he'd have to thank her the next time he saw her.

Fun Fact: He was Madusa's first opponent on PPV (Uncensored '96) after she jumped to Nitro and did that trashcan deal. He beat her in three minutes and stripped her down to her bra and panties. I'm pretty sure she beat him up after the match, and I could be wrong but I think he won because of interference from Dick Slater. I don't think she was stripped but I'd have to watch it again. I just watched that show on Friday and no stripping of any kind occurred following the match, it did come via interference but nothing really came of that. |

Seemed really outdated even back then. A lot of WCW gimmicks were to be honest. A disco dancer. A wrestling mummy/yeti/giant ninja. The Zodiac. Sweet baby jeebus, the Zodiac. Par for the course as far as WCW goes. Somehow - maybe because I didn't know the company very well in 1995, the year I really started watching WCW - that gimmick stuff worked a lot better than it did in WWF at the same time. WWF gimmicks in 95 seemed schlocked and cheap. To be fair, their production at the time didn't look good. Acclimating myself to WCW and their studio sets when I did.......it just looked better. Col. Robert Parker was great. Fit right in with what I was watching, and managed to be memorable enough to stand out 20 years later. His WWF run was brief and weird. He didn't fit in with WWF at all, came across as more of a caricature than he ever did in WCW. |

I remember him as the manager for the Amazing French Canadians where he drew the little mustache on himself. Great stuff. I also remember reading in an Apter mag (I wasn't watching WCW then) and they were putting over how badass Meng was as his bodyguard.

Yep, she German suplexed him but Dirty Dick broke the bridge so he ended up pinning her.  And he didn't strip her after the match. |

Foley more or less alluded to that, too, and that Eric Embry stopped walking around naked constantly once Fuller came through the territory. Wonder if lawyers worried about Fuller suing like when they expressed concerns that 2 Cold Scorpio would for some reason be upset Foley said he had a big dick in Have a Nice Day. |

Mick: "I wish people would slander me like that! Knowing Scorp, he probably has that page framed on his wall!" I love that bit. Back to topic, Fuller was just so over the top goofy in this run. It was fun for what it was. |

I hate characters like this but I loved Col. Rob Parker, even as a kid. He was believable, and acted the hell out of the role.
The dude could take the shit he was given and somehow just make it work.
Severely underrated in my opinion.

WCW should have done an angle involving Colonel Parker's Stud Stable and Sonny Onoo's New Japan Pro Wrestling contingent. |

A southern patrician in a planters suit in the 90s should make no sense but his was so good especially om the mic it worked. I have always thought that a Southern Dandy gimmick would have been a good fit for Gene Snitsky. Think Waylon Mercy wearing Colonel Parker's attire. On topic, I liked Fuller in WCW, he played the goof-child well. Man, how I hated Bunkhouse Buck. I remember how slimy they were together in CCW, batting out some kid on crutches in front of his sister. |

Dude was a tremendous worker, and could always generate massive heel heat. |

Dude was a tremendous worker, and could always generate massive heel heat. It amuses me that as Buck he was a pure roughneck brawler. The guy could do quite a bit on the mat as Jimmy Golden, and as of a few years ago, was still doing indie shots in east Tennessee. Obviously, that style wouldn't make sense for the Buck gimmick, but it speaks to the guy's talent that he could change things up so easily. |
