I wouldn’t. I don’t see any value in it.

Only one foreseeable angle: Johnny Polo and a wood chipper leads to LOD no-selling not the Mounties!

I'm shocked the three of them didn't walk out of the office, drive to the nearest airport and take the first flight to Japan the second the idea was pitched. It was stupid, awful and embarrassing in every way.

I think it could potentially work if Rocco were controlled by a heel.
Like, if there were an evil puppeteer who uses puppets to talk trash about their opponents, that could actually be awesome. I'm thinking heel Doink by way of Jeff Dunham.

I'm thinking heel Doink by way of Jeff Dunham. It would still be stupid. These are men who do combat sports for a living and we're supposed to believe that an fn dummy would distract or bother them?

Hawk claimed that Ellering tried taking ventriloquism lessons to help the gimmick work but it still sucked.

If Hawk hadn’t walked off in a drug induced fit, you know Rocco would eventually have become a real boy.

Go full Lucha Underground. Papa Shango summons an evil demon to possess the dummy and have it start moving and speaking independent of Paul Ellering, manipulating the LOD into being heels and serving as Shango's thugs. Ellering, desperate to save his proteges enlists the help of The Undertaker and Paul Bearer to fight off Shango and his magic demon-dummy.

I would have popped so hard if they had ever given Rocco the Doomsday Device.

With anyone but The Legion of Doom. It may have worked with heel Doink with a clown dummy. Made him more batshit talking to a dummy

Whatever happened to Scott Steiner starring in that Chucky movie?

You'd have to do a creepy proto-Al Snow/Head thing where Ellering believes the dummy is actually speaking to him. At first Hawk and Animal go along with it because of their loyalty to Ellering, but eventually it becomes too much. They fire Ellering, who responds by bringing in a new lunatic heel team, and Ellering and the new guys now worship this demonic mannequin that's telling them to kill LOD.
