Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The early-to-mid-'90s were a time for many gimmicks in the then-WWF. Everybody seemed to have some sort of profession. There were plumbers, trash men, and even magicians. One such profession was played by Glenn Jacobs who you know and love as the Undertaker's younger brother Kane. What character did Mayor Jacobs play from 1995-1996?

Answer: Isaac Yankem, DDS

The three incorrect choices were gimmicks in the WWF at the time. TL Hopper was a plumber, Duke Drose was a garbage man, and The Goon was a hockey player who spent a lot of time in the penalty box. None of those gimmicks were successful either. Glenn went on to be the Fake Diesel before being repackaged as Kane which he played from 1997 until his retirement.
2. Barry Darsow was another wrestler saddled with bad gimmicks but he also had a couple of good ones. One of the good ones was as Smash of Demolition. As Smash he would win the WWF Tag Team Title three times with his partner Ax. During his time in the NWA territory when it was known as Jim Crockett Promotions Barry had a successful run with another gimmick winning several titles. What was Barry's other successful gimmick?

Answer: Krusher Khruschev

As Krusher Khruschev Barry won the World Six Man Tag Championship with his partners Ivan and Nikita Koloff. He also held the US Tag Team title and NWA Mid Atlantic Tag Team title with Ivan. The three incorrect choices were all Barry's. None had the success as he did as Krusher or Smash although Repo Man had mild success but he never won any titles.
3. Believe it or not, even Andre the Giant had a gimmick. In 1986, Andre was (kayfabe) suspended from the WWF. Not long after, a team of rather large Japanese wrestlers, called The Machines, showed up in the WWF managed by the now face Capt. Lou Albano. These men were called The Super Machine (Bill Eadie aka Ax of Demolition) and which Machine (who was Andre under a mask)?

Answer: Giant Machine

Due to Andre's failing health the Machines would have six-man tag matches with another "Machine" who would be a well known wrestler in a mask. These third men were the likes of "Hulk" Machine (Hulk Hogan), "Animal" Machine (George "The Animal" Steele), or "Piper" Machine ("Rowdy" Roddy Piper).

The gimmick didn't last long and soon after it was ended Andre challenged Hulk Hogan at 'Wrestlmania 3'.
4. One of the most popular tag teams of the Attitude Era was The New Age Outlaws. The team consisted of "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn and The Road Dogg. The duo won the WWF/WWE Tag Team championship six times. Before this, Road Dogg was The "Real" Double J who was the real singer behind Jeff Jarrett's song "My Baby Tonight" in a lip synch controversy. Billy Gunn, after leaving The Smoking Gunn's and his kayfabe brother Bart, fell under the tutelage of the Honky Tonk Man became this gimmick who would end up nothing more than a low card jobber. What was this gimmick?

Answer: Rockabilly

Rockabilly and "The Real Double J" Jesse James would have a minor feud until James confronted Rockabilly in the ring and convinced Gunn that in these gimmicks they were going nowhere and offered to team up. Billy Gunn agreed and smashed Honky Tonk Man with his guitar and the duo of The New Age Outlaws was born.
5. Solofa Fatu who you know as Rikishi had an interesting career. Being a part of the famous Anoa'i family that produced the Wild Samoans, The Uso's, Roman Reigns, Umaga, Yokozuna, Tonga Kid, and The Rock he started his gimmicks usually were of his Samoan heritage like Rikishi. But from late summer 1996 until early 1998 he adopted an unusual gimmick that was far from his Samoan roots. He was managed by former WWF champions Bob Backlund and The Iron Sheik. His biggest match was against his real life cousin Rocky Mavia at 'Wrestlemania 13' for Rocky's Intercontinental title. What was this unusual gimmick?

Answer: The Sultan

The Sultan was around for a little over a year and never got over. Rikishi took time off for training and returned in 1999 as Rikishi Fatu and the rest is history. The incorrect answers, Doom was a tag team in WCW that consisted of Butch Reed and Ron Simmona (Farooq). Xanta Claus was a bad anti-Santa gimmick given to Balls Mahoney and Phantasio was a wrestling magician who had a total of two matches in the WWF.
6. Kevin Nash reached stardom in the WWF as Diesel where he was a Triple Crown champion (World Heavyweight Champion, Intercontinental Champion, Tag Team Champion) then after leaving the WWF for WCW he along with Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan changed the face of wrestling when they formed the nWo.

The other is known a one of the more ridiculous gimmicks in wrestling history. What was that crazy gimmick?

Answer: Oz

Oz, as you can guess, was a 'Wizard of Oz' character. Before matches Nash would be dressed in a green & silver robe and wearing a bearded mask and a green pointed turban. Even though the character was pushed heavily it never got over eventually relegating Nash to jobber. Fortunately, as bad as Vinny Vegas was it got him positive exposure enough to be hired by the WWF as Diesel.

The Final Solution was supposed to be Jeep Swenson until WCW figured out what the final solution was (it wasn't cool). Big Daddy Cool was another name for Diesel.

The Sultan of Swat was a nickname given to Babe Ruth.
7. Dolph Ziggler has had a very successful career. He's a two-time World Champion and multiple time tag team, U.S., and Intercontinental Champion in the WWE and he even won the Money in the Bank.

Answer: Nicky

Thankfully the Spirit Squad went away but two of the members did return to feud with Dolph for a short while.

Diamond Studd was the predecessor of Razor Ramon. He had the same mannerisms like flicking a toothpick at the camera. Beaver Cleavage was the failed gimmick of Glenn Ruth (Mosh of The Head Bangers). Max Moon was Konnan under a mask. And the Red Rooster was a terrible gimmick Terry Taylor was saddled with in the WWF.
9. The late Del Wilkes is best known for the masked flag waving Patriot. But before donning the stars and stripes Wilkes was a part of the AWA and won the tag team championship along side Paul Diamond. His gimmick at this time was a law enforcement-themed gimmick. What was his name?

Answer: The Trooper

Wilkes and Diamond were the last ever AWA tag champs before the company closed it's doors in 1991. The Big Boss Man, of course, was Ray Traylor. Sergeant (spelled Sargent) Shriver was a former vice-presidential candidate. And Det. Crockett, of course, was on 'Miami Vice'.

Answer: Johnny Polo

Raven could only win the Hardcore Title in the WWF although he won it twenty-six times. He would win the ECW World Title. Kerwin White was Chavo Guerrero's failed gimmick. Harvey Wippleman was a manager in the WWF and even won the, erm, Women's title at one time. Clarence Mason was a Johnny Cochran type manager who managed the early Nation of Domination.
