1995 King of the Ring-- with Famous People

[The Mandarin 0]

Since King of the Ring 1995 is generally regarded as the worst tournament ever (well, that Kuwaiti Cup was pretty bad too), I'd like to spice it up.

 

I, myself, think that if they had have replaced all eight participants with celebrities, dead or alive historical figures or alcoholic former child stars, it could have been better.

 

So, what I'm wanting the next seven people who reply to do, is choose one person in the 1995 KOTR to swap with a famous figure. The 1995 KOTR participants were-

 

Mabel Taken by me.

Undertaker

Shawn Michaels

Kama

Roadie

Bob Holly

Savio Vega

Yokozuna

 

So what you're going to do is choose one of them who hasn't already been taken, and swap him with someone you think is similar. The person (who should be known by at least a small following) can be living or dead, but since you also have to pick what era this person is in, you'd probably want to choose a time when they were alive.

 

For my pick, Mabel will now become Wesley Willis (circa 1999).

 

Reasonings:

-similar appearance

-unintelligible dialect

-former musicians

-small cult followings

-vicious head attacks

-mental issues(?)

 

Feel free to add some more reasonings to either my choice or anybody elses. Just don't try and swap someone who's already been done.

 

Once that's all finished, we'll take a vote on who should advance to the semi-finals, and then the finals. That's open to everybody, even if they didn't participate in the trade-off.

 

Go.

Yokozuna will be John Belushi circa 1979. They were both fat, they both portrayed Japanese fighters. Well that's about it I guess.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Shawn Michaels will be David Hasslehoff.

 

Chest hair.

Manly good looks.

Pops a crowd on overseas tours.

Can be seen running (beach/to the ring) to music he sings.

Egomaniac.

Makes women scream.

Willie Nelson wouldn't make such a bad Roadie, you know.

 

C'mon, keep nominating.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

Bob Holly = Ian Zearing (or however that is spelled) from 90210 (or Melrose, or whatever)

 

 

and if that doesn't work...

 

 

The Undertaker = Bruce Campbell

[The Mandarin 0]

Sure, both are accepted.

 

Four more, kids.
