Uneventful debuts in professional wrestling

1. Shockmaster’s debut in WCW

Perhaps, no debut in the history of professional wrestling can out do the debut of the legendary Shockmaster. Back in the early 90s, WCW were coming up with outrageous gimmicks, from Robocop to everything else imaginable. During one segment, they wanted to introduce a new character, who’d side with Sting’s team to take on Psycho Sid’s team.

In what was supposed to be a dramatic entrance, the Shockmaster tripped and fell head first on live TV. Needless to say that he wasn’t taken as seriously as it was intended, and he became a comedy act until WCW management decided to do away with him for good. Still, he’s a part of the folklore in professional wrestling due to his debut, although that might not have been the ‘impact’ he wanted to create.
