WWF: The Bad Years 1993-1995 Pt. II Quiz

Answer: He stole the hat of Randy Savage

As Demolition member Smash, Barry Darsow was a three time co holder of the WWF Tag Team Titles from 1988 thru 1990. In the fall of 1991 he was repackaged as the mask wearing cackling Repo Man which had far less fan appeal and did not last as long. On an early segment of "Raw" he stole the hat of the late Randy Savage, Savage defeated him the following week to reclaim his property.

Answer: Mr. Perfect and Doink the Clown

The weeks leading up to the PPV event saw wrestlers battle it out in "qualifying matches" to advance in the tournament. Mr. Perfect and Doink the Clown engaged in a brief rivalry which saw the two face off in three bouts before a winner was determined.

The first two encounters went to time limit draws and finally Mr. Perfect used his famed "Perfect Plex" to win the third and final match. For the first ten months of his WWF run the character of Doink was portrayed by Matt Borne who was a fundamentally sound competitor. So while the gimmick was lousy as least The Clown could wrestle.

Answer: Well Dunn

Dr. Harvey Whippleman's tag team was Timothy Well and Steven Dunn aka Well Dunn who competed in the WWF from 1993 thru 1995. Well and Dunn sported suspenders and bow ties in a sort of 1990s update of the famed "Fabulous Ones" of the 1980s. Although talented wrestlers Well Dunn's highlight was feuding with The Bushwhackers in an offshoot of manager Whippleman's feud against longtime ring announcer Howard Finkel. Steve Doll aka Steven Dunn died in 2010 at age 49 from a blood clot, he had previously survived a brush with death in 2006.

Answer: Wayne Hart

Bret teamed with brothers Owen, Keith and Bruce to defeat the team of Shawn Michaels and three different colored Knights. Michaels actually was a substitute for Jerry "The King" Lawler who had been feuding with Bret since the early summer of 1993. Owen was the only brother eliminated from the contest and was very upset at the conclusion thus starting the slow burn Bret/Owen rivalry which would last for much of 1994.

Answer: Marty Jannetty and The "1,2,3" Kid

The team of Marty Jannetty and The "1,2,3" Kid upset The Quebeccers to win The WWF Tag Team Titles. Their reign would be very short as The Quebeccers regained the belts on January 17, 1994 in Madison Square Garden. The following year The Kid would win The Belts again, this time with Bob Holly and this time the reign lasted just one day!

Answer: Oscar

The manager for Men on a Mission during their time as faces was the crowd loving Oscar. When Mabel and Mo turned on The Smokin Gunns in February 1995 they also turned on their manager Oscar. The manager did not want to turn heel alongside his team and so was dumped both by Mo and Mabel and then by the WWF.

Answer: Mr. Perfect

Mr. Perfect aka the late Curt Hennig who had not been seen in a WWF ring since November 1993 made his return as the special referee for this match. Perfect disqualified Luger in what was to rekindle their rivalry from the previous year. This was ditched when Perfect's nagging back prevented him from a full time comeback. Also there was a rumor that Luger was to win the belt on this night but "spilled the beans" too early and was punished.

Answer: Luna Vachon

The bizarre and eccentric Luna Vachon had served as the manager/valet for Bam Bam Bigelow from 1993 thru mid 1994. When Vachon departed the WWF Bigelow hooked up with Ted Dibiase. Luna, who was the adopted daughter of the legendary Paul Vachon, returned to the WWF during "The Attitude Era" before her untimely death in 2010 at age 48.

Answer: He claimed Luger had joined Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Corporation

For weeks on WWF telecasts Tatanka claimed that he had proof that his former close friend Lex Luger had sold out to Ted Dibiase and joined his heel stable. This was just an elaborate ruse because at the event it was discovered that it was Tatanka that had inked a deal with Teddy Big Bucks.

Answer: The Smokin Gunns

Just one day after their upset victory The Kid and Bob Holly were defeated on "Raw" by Billy and Bart Gunn. This win would start the first of three reigns as WWF Tag Team Champions for The Smokin Gunns.

Answer: Yokozuna

After losing a "Casket Match" to The Undertaker at the 1994 "Survivor Series" the mammoth Yokozuna went into seclusion for several months. At "Wrestlemania XI" he reemerged as the partner of Owen Hart and the two won The WWF Tag Team Titles. Hart and Yokozuna would hold the belts for five months, sadly, both left us way too soon.

Answer: Kane

After kissing the feet of rival Bret Hart, Lawler claimed that he had gotten such a bad tooth and gum infection that his personal dentist, Issac Yankem, was going to take up his cause against Hart. Although Hart and Lawler had some fantastic matches the inclusion of the dentist, Yankem, was utterly ridiculous and very characteristic of the periods bad gimmicks.

In the fall of 1997 Glen Jacobs was repackaged as Kane the demonic half brother of The Undertaker, a role which continues to this day.

Answer: The Roadie

After proudly serving his country as a United States Marine during the first Iraqi war in 1991, Brian James followed in the family business and became a wrestler. In 1995 he got a big break as the obnoxious sidekick of Jeff Jarrett and plans where to have an angle where James would have revealed that Jarrett had been lip syncing his songs. James would have been revealed to be the real voice and a feud would have followed.

The angle did take place in the fall of 1996 when Brian was repackaged as Jesse Jammes, "The Real Double J" even though Jarrett was in WCW. Brian James finally hit pay dirt in the fall of 1997 when he became "The Road Dogg" Jesse Jammes and teamed with Billy Gunn as "The New Age Outlaws".

Answer: Shane Douglas

Shane Douglas arrived in the WWF in June 1995 where he was given the persona of a cocky academic dean, Dean Douglas. By this time Douglas had already garnered a reputation for being a malcontent and trouble maker. Well during his brief stint in the WWF he rubbed Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Razor Ramon aka "The Clique" the wrong way which resulted in his brief Intercontinental Title reign. Douglas was awarded the title when an "injured" Michaels forfeited it to him, he then lost it to Razor Ramon on the very same PPV.

Answer: Arkansas Pen Match

Henry Godwin, the Arkansas pig farmer fought his nemesis Hunter Hearst Helmsley in an "Arkansas Pen Match" in which the two literally fought in a vat of mud with livestock running amuck. The famed Hillbilly Jim served as a special guest referee for the contest which was won by Helmsley.

Henry against Hunter was not the best feud but the goofy gimmick match just ruined everything, again characteristic of the era. The following year when Henry teamed up with his dim witted cousin Phineas, the duo employed Hillbilly Jim as their manager.
