Pre push gimmicks

Now I have been quoting Shelton Benjamin's "it's all about the Benjamin's" line that he used to give on sunday night heat before disappearing and reappearing as half of team Angle. What I'm looking for in this thread are things similar to this, lesser known gimmicks and things that mid-uppercard guys now used to do. Other then Isaac Yankem and Fake Deisel, everyone knowss about that.

JBL had a ton..

Stone Cold was The Ring Master and in WCW Stunning Steve (I liked him in WCW though).

The Rock was Rocky Miavia and wore that dumb outfit.

Yep he still is married to the former Nancy Sullivan.
I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

Maybe you can help me out with this...during his run as the midnight rider (I think he was doing that cuz he was supposedly suspeded) didn't he pin someone for a title and the NWA didn't let it stand because they found out who he really was?

Yes he did. He defeated Ric Flair on 02/09/1983 in Miami,FL but gave the title back when he was asked to identify himself to NWA president Bob Geigel.
Visit and shop for video games at my Amazon-based store, also get discounted HD DVDs while they last.
