Answer: He stole the hat of Randy Savage

As Demolition member Smash, Barry Darsow was a three time co holder of the WWF Tag Team Titles from 1988 thru 1990. In the fall of 1991 he was repackaged as the mask wearing cackling Repo Man which had far less fan appeal and did not last as long.

3 In January 1996, Steve Austin made his WWF debut and had a much different gimmick that his "Stone Cold" persona. What was Steve Austin originally billed as?
Answer: "The Ringmaster"

"The Ringmaster" was Steve Austin's first gimmick upon his WWF arrival and was very different than what we have become accustomed to. He was managed by Ted Dibiase, wore "The Million Dollar Belt" and was pushed as a technical genius inside the ring. Austin's first finishing move was even Dibiase's "Million Dollar Dream" sleeper variation. In March 1996 "The Ringmaster" gimmick was ditched, in May 1996 Ted Dibiase left, and by June he was "King of the Ring" and on his way to legendary status.
