March 21, 201213 yr comment_5497624 Ok, WWF. No scandalous centerfold of Liz at Wrestlemania 8. Yeah, that angle got a quick drop. John Actually, I don't recall Liz being mentioned again after Mania. Can anybody recall any appearances between Mania and the divorce?
March 21, 201213 yr comment_5497625 I don't recall her on TV again after that, but that was at the height of their real-life problems and Liz was about to divorce him in real life. Flair and Perfect mentioned having more dirt on her after Wrestlemania in at least one TV segment, but it was dropped quickly.
March 21, 201213 yr comment_5497626 UK Rampage 92 - Sheffield, England - Arena - April 19, 1992 WWF World Champion Randy Savage pinned Shawn Michaels (w/ Sensational Sherri) at 16:58 with a reverse crossbody off the top; Elizabeth escorted Savage to the ring before the match but he sent her backstage mid-way through the contest after Sherri tried to attack her on the floor; Elizabeth returned late in the match to counter Sherri's interference; after the contest, Savage fought off a double team from Michaels and Sherri and cleared them of the ring (Elizabeth's last appearance) (aired on 06/15/92 Prime Time Wrestling) 5/17/92 Challenge: included Gene Okerlund conducting a podium interview with WWF World Champion Randy Savage regarding Ric Flair & Mr. Perfect, during which Okerlund announced Flair & Perfect intended to reveal more damaging evidence about Miss Elizabeth the following week 5/23/92 Superstars: featured footage of Ric Flair & Mr. Perfect having a picnic where they played a tape of Miss Elizabeth supposedly leaving a message on Flair's answering machine with her saying she loved him and was waiting for him at home; That was it. And she did leave quickly after Mania. As Loss says, there were personal issues going on at the time as well. John
March 21, 201213 yr comment_5497627 Wouldn't t he Gobbledygooker count for this? They spent weeks if not months hyping that egg, only for it to turn out to be a dancing luchadore in a turkey suit (yet nowhere near as fun as that sounds on paper). He wasted about fifteen minutes of PPV time and then promptly vanished, never to be seen again (well, except for the Gimmick Battle Royal).
March 21, 201213 yr comment_5497628 Most recently, Johnny Curtis had hype videos made of him only to get killed in his first TV match.
March 21, 201213 yr comment_5497632 While not quite what the thread title suggests, I seem to recall some WWF vignettes promoting Billy Jack with him on a horse that ended with "Billy Jack is coming!" around 1983/84 and he never showed up until a few years later.
March 22, 201213 yr Author comment_5497637 WHAT SIDE IS MR. PERFECT ON! during Summerslam 1992. Got to disagree on this, that's one of my favourite ever angles and matches. And pretty much the only match I rate like 90% due to outside shennanigans. I'll agree it was weakened a bit by the fact that FLAIR came out with him too, but during the match it's not obvious which side he's on until it's obvious he's only out for Flair's interests. What's amazing about that match is JUST HOW BRUTAL the beatdown on Savage is. I legit thought they'd broke his leg as a kid. I'd argue it's the most violent match in WWF since ooooh, Shiek vs. Slaughter?

There's a reason for this but really, you, of all people, should just listen to the shoot.

There's a reason for this but really, you, of all people, should just listen to the shoot. Now that you mention it, I did listen to that shoot but I don't remember the reason he didn't show up at that time. I know he left in 87 because of his sick Dad.
March 22, 201213 yr comment_5497641 Brakkus. Looked like another monster. Barely made TV if at all except for getting his ass handed to him by Savio in the toughman deal.
March 22, 201213 yr Author comment_5497643 Road Warrior Heidenreich? Heidenreich in general? What happened to that guy? Did he ever win a match? He had like a load of run ins and then lost to Taker again and again right? After months and months of hype videos.
March 22, 201213 yr comment_5497649 Brakkus. Looked like another monster. Barely made TV if at all except for getting his ass handed to him by Savio in the toughman deal. And then they sent him to ECW where Tazz messed him up real bad.

He had like a load of run ins and then lost to Taker again and again right? After months and months of hype videos. Feuded with Undertaker, feuded with Booker T, somehow turned babyface by writing poems about farts, challenged Orlando Jordan for the US Title at Judgment Day 2005, became a member of the LOD and won the WWE Tag titles, then vanished after January 2006.

March 22, 201213 yr comment_5497672 Anyone mention mordecai? He found his way back to Richie and Royal on the roof of the hotel the elder Tenenbaum now was working from...
March 22, 201213 yr comment_5497677 To show how quick he was gone, I actually had to look up Undertaker's Wrestlemania matches to remember Nathan Jones's name. They ran tons of videos hyping his debut, and he was so bad they ended up pulling him from Mania and putting Taker in a handicap match.
March 22, 201213 yr comment_5497682 Could we say Sean O'Haire falls in this category? They had weeks of vignettes to build his debut, then put him with Piper for some reason and he was gone.
March 29, 201213 yr comment_5498894 Outback Jack. Perfect example of vignettes that were pretty clever yet the guy they were hyping did nothing of note.
