Take a look at the above picture. This was what Vince McMahon thought people would dress like in the year 2000. In the year 1995, Vince McMahon thought people would wear shiny silver foiled outfits in 5 years time?

Tekno Team 2000 debuted in the year 1995 and received a decent push immediately. Vince saw them as his futuristic, tin foil wrapped team for the future. Troy and Travis tried hard but they weren’t really any good. They didn’t manage to win any championships in either of their two runs with WWE. Even WWE.com lists them under ‘Boring WWE Tag-Teams’.


16: The Bushwackers

Before I begin, I must state that The Bushwhackers are WWE Hall of Famers. How? I do not know.

In 1988, The Bushwhackers debuted in the WWF amidst their national expansion phase. Their terrible comedy gimmick involved them licking each other, opponents and even fans. Yes, their gimmick was that they licked people. It’s really hard to believe some of this stuff appeared on national television.

Even though they were popular amongst the fans because of their antics, their gimmick has not stood the test of time. They were not great wrestlers either, with their offense mostly consisting of punches and kicks. Oh, and they licked people of course.
