Booked to have super powers!

[JoeDirt]

In honor of the Undertaker crazyness coming up this Friday on Smackdown (I won't say more to keep from spoiling stuff, but you've seen enough in the past to get the idea), what wrestlers have been booked to have supernatural powers, powers from beyond-this-world? The stupider it is, the better!

 

I'll start:

 

Kane is an obvious one. Taker's brother from the dead traded firing lightning bolts at peeps on RAW back in '98, even setting a crew member on fire.

[Black Lushus]

Ultimate Warrior used to go on non-sensical rants about his "super human strenght"

[Guest JMA]

Kane's powers seem to come and go. Maybe it has something to do with Bearer being his "father."

 

Anyway, the stupidest were probably Papa Shango and The Black Scorpion (who knew that Ric Flair had magic powers?). I also hate the idea of supernatural powers in wrestling in the first place. I wince every time Taker summons a lightning bolt or disappears.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Zeus was impervious to pain. For a while.

[Guest Fook]

Papa Shango immediately sprung to mind. His "powers" were pretty much his entire gimmick.

[Slayer]

Hogan in the last minute of any match from '84 to '96

96? shit, muthafucka did that just this year at Summerslam...funny how he can take a beating all match, hulk up and put his foes away with only 3 punches, a big boot and the leg drop...

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I saw Big Show pick up the ring once; does that count?

[Guest JMA]

If Hogan's "Hulk Up" counts does that mean Shawn's "kip-up" does too?

[Black Lushus]

no because his kip up doesn't always automatically lead to outright destruction of his foe...once Hogan hulks up the match is over, HBK's kip-up could lead to another 10 minutes of action...

1. I haven't watched the E in almost a year now (which would include SS)

 

2. Hollywood Hogan broke the streak for a long time

i was just saying...stop being uptight...fucker...

Rasta the Voodoo Man > Papa Shango

 

How about the Giant surviving his fall off the Joe, or HHH surviving the 30 foot drop in that car? Do those count?

[Dobbs 3K]

I guess if those count, so do Rock and Austin surviving their respective "vehicular homicide" attempts. HHH probably wins because he was on TV fine and dandy the very next week.

 

Not to make light of his death, but as far as superpowers, Owen Hart as the Blue Blazer had the ability to "fly", surprising opponents on more than one occasion.

 

Hurricane always acted like he thought he had super strength, at least when the gimmick started.

 

Does Jerry Lawler throwing fireballs in Memphis count, since the marks probably thought that was real?

[Black Lushus]

Crow Sting

Max Moon

[MikeJordan23]

Wasn't there supposedly an "Invisible" wrestler in the late 70s in the Florida region? I heard about this before, not sure how true it is.

[Darthtiki]

Couldn't Hunter control bees, oh wait that was that stupid YJ(Ephedra)Stinger commercial

[fisticuffs]

The Shockmaster!

[Guest Duke_The_Dog]

Price Kharis : The Wrasslin ressurected Egyptian Mummy !!

[Golgo 13]

Did Mordecai have powers? Surely some of the Dungeon of Doom must have.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's still one of my favorite ads ever. Hunter does his spit take, and the spit turns into BEES! Then the bees chase this poor guy around a corner, when, WHAM, he runs right into a Triple H clothesline. I'm half surprised H didn't Pedigree the kid then and there. Such a comically great commercial.

Zeus was impervious to pain. For a while.

 

Wasn't hitting the "Z" that was shaved into the hair on the side of fhis head, the only way to "hurt" Zeus?

 

 

Not the clearest picture ever, but theres the "Z".

[Ravenbomb]

Phantasm

[Special K]

Maybe not quite supernatural, but the Brood's Bloodbaths were pretty cool. The widely-rumored angle for the KISS Demon and Vampiro is the most ridiculous, though.

[Dobbs 3K]

Similarly, you could count Great Muta, circa 1989 NWA, where certain colors of his mist could cause different levels of damage, including one color that could supposedly blind someone permanently.

[haws bah gawd]

Invader3k, would that be the same black mist that Tajiri permanently blinded Nidia with in 2003?

[ChrisMWaters]

Invader3k, would that be the same black mist that Tajiri permanently blinded Nidia with in 2003?

 

That reminds me...

 

Have Muta and Tajiri ever had a match in Japan or no?

[The Robfather]

What about Kevin Sullivan's "Father" who ruled the Dungeon of Doom?

ROTFL,

 

(wait was that a power rangers reference?)

[spman]

I always thought a great gimmick would be like a wrestler with with like ESP or telepathy or some shit where they stand on the other side of the ring and throw punches and clotheslines and do the motions for slams and powerbombs and stuff and their opponent sells it all.
