Before Rikishi came along, Brian Lawler and Scott Taylor were known as Too Much/Too Cool and these two chumps were heels who got "Go Away Heat" with the audience.It wasn't until Rikishi joined the group that Too Cool gained credibility as fan favorites. And just like that, Too Cool became key players for the year 2000.But once Rikishi started branching out on his own as a singles heel and while he would stay on WWE for longer, Too Cool imploded due to Brian Lawler's substance abuse issues that led to him getting fired from the WWF in 2001.As for Rikishi not acknowledging Too Cool in his HOF speech, he has every right to not want to thank them, especially when Rikishi was the one who saved these two from getting anymore "Go Away Heat" reactions, and especially when they (mainly Lawler) tried to steal his money. There's a reason why WWE didn't want Rikishi to acknowledge Too Cool, it's because of Brian Lawler being a trainwreck from 2001 up until 2018.
>>15326995No doubt about it, that's why he's in the HOF. Let's see where there others are? One roped and the other is mindbroken on bong indies cancelling himself for not wrestling a tranny kwab
>>15326995When Rikishi was the dancing fat man with them he was over, once he was by himself he petered out, they all needed each other.
>>15327013That's true. Once Rikishi left, Scotty 2 Hotty had a random pairing with Albert from 2001-02 until he lost Albert to a heel turn and Hotty had to go on the sidelines again because of his neck.
>>15327056if anything, Brian Lawler and Scott Taylor needed Rikishi more than he needed them. And also, Too Cool should've been the ones owing their thanks to Rikishi and be grateful for him saving these two from getting anymore "go away heat" reactions than they did in 1998-99.
thank Rikishi for saving their careers from spiraling.
>>15327092Rikishi tried multiple times to get over before 2 Cool and flopped each and every time. They needed each other equally. The Samoan benefitted more from the pairing, though. Can't imagine why...
>>15327092get up and go for a jog, rikishi you fatass

Too Much were fighting jobbers on Heat /livewire / shotgun / superstars and were heels with a gayboys gimmick. That was in 1998. They were allowed to mess around a bit and try to get themselves over and Scott began doing the worm after matches. This popped the crowd and became their thing. They were transitioned into baby faces with a whiteboy hip-hop gimmick around d the time eminem broke through in about 99 and the worm became used in matches as theatrics for their signature move. They were getting big comedy pops before rikishi was added.They put rikishi in there because they'd basically run out of stuff for him to do
>>15326995How the fuck is this a unpopular opinion?
The wrong fat samoan(s) died
