2: Fake Diesel and Fake Razor Ramon

Fake Diesel and fake Razor Ramon were embarrassingly bad.

When Kevin Nash and Scott Hall signed for WCW in 1996, nobody had imagine what kind of impact 'The Outsiders' would have on the history of pro wrestling and particularly the Monday Night War. They teamed up with Hulk Hogan after Bash at the Beach 1996 and formed the NWO and brought the Monday Night War straight to WWE's doorstep.

WWE's reaction to this was in terrible judgement and is still remembered today as one of the most embarrassing episodes in WWE history. In September 1996, Jim Ross, as part of his heel run, teased that a major announcement would be made. He would follow this up by saying that Razor Ramon and Diesel were coming back to the WWE. It turned out to be a cheap publicity stunt and the men who came out as Razor and Diesel were in not Nash and Hall. WWE owned the trademarks to the Razor Ramon and Diesel characters and Vince thought he could use other wrestlers to portray the characters.

Fan reaction was extremely negative and WWE got killed in the ratings. Glen Jacobs, the man who'd go on to find fame as Kane, played fake Diesel and was still passable and was an up and coming talent. Rick Bognar on the other hand, did such a terrible impression Razor Ramon that it could only be called a parody.
