RIPPA Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 It's Paul Ellering Quote LOD would return a short time later with original manager Paul Ellering. The team incorporated a ventriloquist dummy called "Rocco" (Originally introduced as "Freckles" in front of a live crowd at a WWF TV Taping, the segment bombed so bad that it never aired) which served as their “inspiration”, but this gimmick was short-lived. Hegstrand left the company in disgust with the Rocco gimmick immediately after SummerSlam 1992 at the Wembley Stadium where LOD rode to the ring on motorbikes in front of over 80,000 fans. He then went AWOL in London after the event with John Nord (The Berzerker) and missed the flight back to the US, while Laurinaitis stuck around and finished the team's contractual obligations with former Demolition member Crush (now repackaged from his Demolition character to being a face, becoming a tanned, muscle guy from the beaches of his native Hawaii) replacing Hawk on house shows in Europe in Mid September 1992 when Hawk left the WWF. Crush and Animal teamed to defeat the Beverly Brothers five times and Kato and Skinner once. Paul Ellering also joined Crush and Animal in some six man tag team matches. When the newly formed team returned to North America, Animal and Crush both started wrestling singles and the team was no more.[25] Shortly after Animal then left the WWF because an injury to his back forced him into a lengthy hiatus.[26] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advertised match would've been LOD w/ Ellering vs Beverly Brothers w/ Genius. I'm guessing the other Beverly was hurt as well, so the Brawler filled in.

I just...The Wu-Tang Warrior thing is so incredibly... in-character? And the mic on the fucking hand?! I don't know whether to give him a medal or shoot him into space. Worse than Santino Marella? Worse than Matt Morgan? What about Brock's dicksword or Scott Steiner's hideous chest piece? Or that crap Rene Dupree is sporting? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I saw Crush and Animal teaming on my first live event in 1992. It was mega exciting to see as a kid and I would've loved that team to continue. This cracked me up on instagram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
