When JR interviewed Michael Cole or got him in the ring, he handed Cole the mask and announced Dr Death in reference to the Brawl For All, it was another attempt to get JR as a heel and it didnt work, JR basically were saying that the WWF were trying to make a mockery of Dr Death and then proceeded to kick Cole in the groin and tried to take his spot at ringside, but only to be escorted out of the building

You know, every time I see mentions on Zombie on the first episode of WWE ECW as "the opposite" of true ECW... people just don't know that ECW was full of weird gimmicks. Like Amish Roadkill... that was a very weird gimmick. There was The Musketeer in ECW in 2000 (and yes, a guy wore a musketeer costume... for some reason, he was a part of Simon Diamond's entourage). There was a wrestler named Chilly Willy... so yeah, Zombie wasn't that far off. ECW had its own share of weird gimmicks.

I went to Smackdown the week before the 9/24 show and Shane Thorne was doing that gimmick there as well. It was…something.

I could've sworn I saw Phantasio wrestle on TV more than once. Another one I remember were The Arabian Butchers. Appeared once and were never seen again. And what about Brakkus? The Mariner/Furface? Battle Kat? Xanta Claus? The Flying Nuns?

Speaking of Turtle gimmicks Rest in Peace Chris Champion who wrestled with two Turtle gimmicks. When he was wrestling for CWA and USWA he had a character named Kowabunga. And secondly when he was wrestling for Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling in Japan going by the name Turtle Kamen. Also Rest in Peace to Tim Arson who wrestled as The Zombie in WWF.

Chris Champion as Cowabunga is on another channel's collection of bad Memphis gimmicks. And yes it's pretty corny, especially his introduction promo where he's channel surfing and crushing on women from Bold and the Beautiful.

#11: The Flying Nuns, AKA The Sisters of Love, consisting of Mother Smucker and Sister Angelica. Had one match, against the Godwinns on the first episode of Shotgun Saturday Night on January 4, 1997. They would later find success as the Headbangers.

Friar Ferguson was on RAW 2 times, so he didn't last just one night. He had his debut on 4/12/93 and appeared to confront Bam Bam Bigelow on the 4/19/93 RAW.

I'll offer the following corrections so far: The Kabuki thing was at least REFERENCED after Williams' one appearance, during JR's heel turn in 1999. He brought out the outfit and lambasted WWF creative (remember Vince Russo booking was in full effect, so...SHOOT PROMO!) for coming up with it for a legend like Doc. Friar Ferguson did make one more appearance. It wasn't a match though...he ran in to save a jobber from Bam Bam Bigelow. Tim Arson actually made a pretty good indy wrestling career using the ECW Zombie character. Especially in Northeastern companies. Sadly, he passed away 9+ years ago...spare the zombie jokes, please. Sister Abigail can be said to have made more appearances...if you believe that Abby the Witch in the Firefly Funhouse was meant to be her. Other than that, S.A. was in storyline deceased anyway, wasn't she? (Of note, if you squint, MAYBE, Wyatt in Abigail drag looked a little...like The Fiend, actually.)

Headbanger Jos Leduc in 1988 WWF? Muffy, Stephanie McMahon's trainer? High Chief Afi? Yes, he was Sivi Afi who was on the roster for years, but this was when he was made into the third man of The Islanders, and was given Peter Maivia like body tattoos. AND HE ACTED LIKE A FACE IN THE MATCH. After this one match, the Islanders disbanded anyway so Haku could become King.
