TIME TO PLAY THE GAAAAAAMMMMMMME..... Oh, never mind. This poor guy doesn't even really have a bad of a look that he should feel like he has to pretend to be Triple H.

If you count the one offs there is at least 10 of them. Gary Nations claims to be the true LH. Saying he got permission to use the name. But there is lots of feds in the Deep South that will throw the outfit on whoever and call them LH. Labor Day weekend 2016 we drove up to Lula MS. For Hollywood Jimmy's annual show at the Isle of Capri casino. Show started with Jimmy Hart and the Bruise Brothers,not the wresters,doing a concert. The planned main event was Jerry Lawler vs Lord Humongous. Jerry was going to come out,sing a song with Hart. Then get distracted by Hollywood Jimmy and get ambushed by Lord Humongous. Well Lawler had just opened his bar&grill and asked to get moved from main event to opening match. That way Lawler could leave early and get back to his bar. So we got to see a barely over 6 foot Lord Humongous vs Lawler. Found out after the show that this LH was an older pretty much retired guy who was given the outfit. Gary Nations was mad and ranted about "That is why indie wrestling is dead. Too many people using an old gimmick to get over." There've been at least 15 "Hugos" that I'm aware of (Fun Fact: Scott Hall was LH in Florida for about two weeks early in his career). Even if Mike Stark or Jeff Van Kamp, the two original wrestling Lord Humongous (I forget who followed who, they both did the gimmick early on), gave him his blessing, Gary Nations has as much right to the gimmick as I do. Considering it's a 100% lift of a character from a film, no one in wrestling has any stake in its ownership. Always heard Van Kamp did it first. But who knows. Gary is known for his rants about how rookies need to try out original ideas. When AFAIK the only reason Gary is known is cause he is using an old gimmick that should have been mothballed when Continental died.

When Hall and Nash left we got fake Razor and fake Diesel. What if when Dustin Rhodes left in 1999 we had Kurt Angle playing fake Goldust? Mick Foley retires in early 2000 and Vince decides he wants to continue the character so puts a newly signed Eddie Guerrero into the mask? This thread is for garbage ideas like this. Well when HHH "fired" Mankind, they had Median dress like him. Why not just go that way? they did look some what a like. I dunno, I kind of thought he was below average.

In 1999, when Austin was feuding with ministry Undertaker, I wanted Taker to really mess with Steve. Bring in a guy who resembles Brian Pillman to really f*** with his mind. Yes, bring him back from the dead. They've tried embalming, they sacrificed Mideon, they put Steve "on the cross...I mean put him on the symbol", what's one more level of insanity? No, it's not the worst idea I ever had. Goddamn this is tasteless but awesome. Even if they never said "it's the wrestling corpse of Pillman!" and just had a high flying curly blond it would still be too much. It would be amazing storytelling though in a non wrestling medium.

Shuji Ishikawa played a Kane parody called Koo for a little bit. Only time the fake was objectively better than the original

I would like to have seen how Steve Corino would’ve done as the fake 1-2-3 Kid.

Here's one for you. A bogus NWO Bogus Sting.
Back in the late 90s, a baseball card shop in Tyler, Texas advertised an upcoming appearance by NWO Bogus Sting, as they termed him. I knew it was going to be a mess and people who didn't read it fully would show up expecting the real Sting. But I went expecting Farmer. It was a block away from school, and it was a more obscure guy you wouldn't expect to see in the "wild" so I went. Sure enough, there were a lot of people (but by Tyler standards, "a lot" means a hundred or so) who showed up. As NWO Bogus Sting was late (we were getting updates that his plane was late, he was on his way, he was in the shop's car and almost there, etc...), some became aware that it wasn't going to be the "real" Sting and left, and once he did get there, almost all the rest left too. Like, a dozen or so people stayed once he walked through the back door. And here's the kicker:
It wasn't even Jeff Farmer.
We're still not sure who the **** he was. He claimed to have been one of the various fake Stings that showed up from time to time during that run, and he also worked as a luchador named Kro 2000 but the signed pic of said Mister Kro 2000 looked nothing like the guy in front of me. One day I'll dig out both the Kro pic and the polaroid we took, maybe someone can ID this doofus.
Oh, and epilogue: The card shop people were NOT happy when they found out they got shanghaied. I think the appearance ended within minutes of starting.

Before the recent upswing, this was a big part of the British wrestling scene: I've seen this image float around. I really want to see footage of the show.
