And I mean really short. For example I wish they had pushed "Super Genius ,Deep Thinker "Eric Rowan. The gimmick just made me smile.

I'm one million percent sure that Phantasio could have gotten over, and refuse to be debated on this point.

Natalya being incorrect in pop culture references from a year or two ago. That thing had legs!
Also, Trevor Murdoch the singer.

I'm inclined to agree because, back in 1995, I was ordering and watching USWA weekly tv shows on VHS tapes, and in some episodes Phantasio was "The Spellbinder". Somehow he didn't completely suck all those times.

Hassan. The last true Over heel gimmick, Or one of the last . Great look, great idea. Even if they couldn't go through with it because of UPN. They could have repackaged it different or at least keep the performer. Mark Copani was a great promo and solid worker

There was like 1 week where Alberto was booked as a heel that thinks everyone likes him but is obvivious. Think Kurt angles original gimmick.

Rockabilly. Gimmicks based on music from the 1950's= Money! Come, let me take you back Turn back the hands of time That's when I discovered cool That's when I made it mine
My pants couldn't be too tight That's when I learned to fight James Dean defined the day, Sue took me all the way
Cool, I'm all about cool. No other goal. No other rule. But you, you act like a fool, You've gotta be bold. Gonna take you to school, I'm all about cool.
If you want to be cool, Half as cool as me, You'll be careful what you say, And how you look at me. If not, you'll pay a price, Far beyond your means. You don't want the trouble that I'll bring.
Grease back my hair just right, Suzie, she wore her sweaters tight. Blond hair piled way up high, In the back seat on Saturday night.
Drag racing, summer nights, My Chevy like thunder rolled. Come around picking fights Outside the picture show.
Cool, I'm all about cool. No other goal. No other rule. But you, you act like a fool, You've gotta be bold. Gonna take you to school, I'm all about cool.

Charlie Haas putting on the lucha mask mid-match and suddenly being a 100% different character with full health was amazing

Daniel Bryan’s first comic book villain promo, explaining his turn. I prefer that to his environmental work.

Well, right before going out for the match he lit the gorilla position on fire. That's a less than desirable trait in a new employee, and a hard one to overcome and shake off when working that day.

I think the fact that it *didn't* last makes it funnier to look back on; like, dude was having an especially rough go of things and had to sing a song to get his mind right. Got it out of his system and he was good to go. That said, I'd have loved to hear more songs.

That “Magic Mike” gimmick Hawkins and Reks had for a week. I think that could work for a tag team even now.

Yet when Kane sets JR on fire he's being dark and mysterious but when Phantasio sets the entire gorilla position on fire he's just some asshole
