Who's your favorite obscure wrestler/manager/gimmick from years past that was an absolute nobody but had massive dimes potential had they been given proper exposure time to hone their craft in a major promotion?

For me, it's The Prince from 80s WCW. You can't find ANYTHING about this lil nigga online besides old forums posts (some even clakming he died) & barely a handful of promos but he clearly had "it" when it came to being the chickenshit runt heel manager hiding behind women. This is unironically a top 10 promo of all time

After losing Jimmy Hart to the WWF, Memphis wrestling introduced TH aka Tom Hart aka TH Hart. A man who looked like jimmy hart and was desperately trying to sound like him.

I know your saying that cause he killed his wife or some shit. But he was actually a decent bottom card heel in CZW.

No one will give Jerry Lawler the book anymore.
I suspect it was all just an excuse for him to buy Halloween masks, and write them off in its taxes. Between the comic books, the soda and the age of his lovers, Lawler never really grew up.

love the prince. this was actually not the wcw run by turner with hogan, flair, and the nwo. it was an '80s promotion called "women's championship wrestling."

i assume this was the mid-80s, as i don't think world championship wrestling would have used the same initialism as an existing promotion that had some type of television presence. world championship wrestling started using that name in 1988, i believe.

you can find some matches and clips from youtube. part of the reason the prince is difficult to search for is his name is very generic and the wcw name obviously turning up thousands of results from turner's promotion.

here's the mixed tag match with the prince and charli haynes versus boogaloo and despina montagas.

Thanks for the info bro. Do you know what happened to The Prince after his WCW run? It's been one of the great mysteries of wrestling forums online for decades

That'd be funny if he was still stalking Motley Crews trying to murder him for turning the tables in the wrong way. We actually got on anon here who is doing the same thing to CM Punk's agent.

OK so, it's less obscure than some here but I really think the Reverend Gacy era character die too early because it was born too early to live. Parker Boudreaux was still a green shitter, Gacy hadn't come fully comfortable with the mic and was also still very green, he didn't really reach the level before he had his going insane arc. But given it's a wrestling school, and all it's fault - I've always loved menacing characters in wrestling and Gacy excels in being unsettling - too bad they denied him a mic or personality on the main as one of the Wyatt6 goons.

Also every theme song he had was unique, different from the rest of the talent and that fucking rocked.
