Alex Porteau v Vader

[TheJman2600]

...and that's the end of Alex Porteau's usefulness.

Shawn was suppose to drop the title to Vader at SummerSlam

So many bad jobbronie gimmicks in '96 WWF. The Pug, the Goon, Who?, etc.

@wibassplayer And to think that Stone Cold Steve Austin was born just before these gimmicks surfaced.

If Alex had any kind of charisma he could have been Kurt Angle 3 years before Kurt Angle

@KHayes666

Alex had a lot of talent

[landrykkb]

@KHayes666 It probably didn't help having that Pug nickname.

[KHayes666]

@landrykkb lol does anyone remember The Rock was once Flex Kavana? Bad nicknames can be erased if you get over well enough.

[landrykkb]

@KHayes666 I didn't remember seeing the Rock wrestle as Flex Havana(I believe that's the correct name) because he wrestled only like 2 dark under that persona.I actually didn't think Steve Austin was that bad as the Ringmaster,but his carteer could have never exploded if he stayed as that.

[KHayes666]

@landrykkb People used to scoff at me when I said Owen Hart would eventually be WWF champion and their argument was "He died as the fuckin Blue Blazer". What if Hunter Hearst Helmsley who just got backdropped into a pig pen at the December 95 In Your House died in a car crash 3 weeks later? What if Steve Austin never came back after his Summerslam 97 injury? The point is, bad gimmicks can be overcome if given the right time/gimmick. Alex didn't have the charisma to get by unfortunately
