The killer bees were heels?

[Guest krambigmac]

I was just watching Hulkamania 4 and one of the matches was Hulk vs Dibiase in a lumberjack match.  After the match, the Bees attacked Hogan but they were heelish on the outside the whole time so it wasn't a sudden heel turn.  The tape was from 89 so the match must have been late 88 to early 89.  I'm pretty sure Hogan was not champ for the second time yet too.

who can think of guys dressed like bees as being intimidating?

[Guest MillenniumMan831]

I'm fairly sure that match was originally taped in late1987-early1988.  Tony Schiavone just overdubbed the original commentary.  My guess is that those guys weren't really The Bees.  DiBiase just paid off some imposters.

 

But I'm probably wrong.

Were they masked Bees or when they didnt go through that crap

[Guest krambigmac]

They were masked so I figured it was imposters but I didn't know.  THe date threw me off because if I was right with late 88 early 89, it would have been after Brunzelle was bee-less at Survivor Series so the commentary must have been overdubbed.  I wish they would have mentioned that it wasn't really them but I don't remember the commentators being surprised which threw me off.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

It could have been them in the late period of their WWF career as a team, but I wouldnt know.

[Guest DEEP THOUGHT]

They wore their masks the entire time, so that should be a dead giveaway that they wern't Blair and Brunzell. Plus from what I remember, the two masked bees were quite overweight -- there's no way they were B. Brian and Jumpin' Jim.

[Guest MoneyIvezaj]

I got the tape of this and yea they have the mask on the hole time and yea their short and a little round.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

anyone know who they were then cause i have no clue.

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

NWOscorpion im guessing they were jobbers. i never understood the whole switching masks technique b/c blair had a hairy chest and they looked totally different from each other even with a mask on.

[Guest Ace309]

but... but... but...

 

THEY WERE WEARING MASKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest krambigmac]

Just like how Demolition all looked alike because they wore paint.  Yes it was different paint, yes they were all different heights, and yes they all had different shaped heads and wrestling styles and....ok I'm done.

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

exactly. Ax was fatter and smash was rapidly losing hair. plus Ax mainly used silver and red/black and smash had a col blend of white yellow red and black.

Do yuo mean mask-switching in general or with the Killer Bees? Because this thread is the first I've ever heard of them switching masks.

 

Was this angle supposed to be a story that never went anywhere?

[Guest Drury37]

I am thinking that they were not really the Killer Bees but just a couple of jobbers and it was just like a B rate storyline that came and went every so often.

Thanks.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

I thought they dropped the masks by this time.

[Guest Drury37]

Me too,it was probably a match that was taped a while before the tape came out.I don't know why they woul do that but that's probably what they did.

Thanks.
