Kofi headscissors Sheamus down to start and it’s already time for some posing. That box actually looks real so well done for whoever made that. promises to eat his cereal to grow big and strong. Unfortunately they couldn’t come up with any insults for Rusev so Big E. drops to his knees to speak like a child for some insults about the League. They actually have a box of BootyO’s cereal and Big E. Before the match, Woods says that when you look at them, you see hips that don’t lie, which of course means it’s time for a little dancing. Well they never have been too subtle so why start now? The opening video focuses on the World Title match and pitches the idea that Dean is blocking the road to Wrestlemania. It’s not often that the Wrestlemania main event could be changed this soon before the date of the show but stranger things have happened. This is a special live show between Fastlane and Wrestlemania with a big main event in Dean Ambrose challenging HHH for the WWE World Title. Apparently he was to become the younger brother of Golga (played by the legendary John Tenta.) As much as I’m sure Tenta wanted a former highway nuisance for a younger brother to kick around, the WWF ultimately decided to take a detour on the idea and good ol’ Roadblock has not been seen since.Location: Ricoh Coliseum, Toronto, Ontario, CanadaĬommentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Michael Cole, Byron Saxton He would become another victim of Goldberg’s during Blll’s rookie streak and then by 1998 he would leave WCW.Īfter leaving WCW it was rumored that the WWF was going to sign him and make He would get a few wins here and there but the majority of his time in Turnerland was on the losing end of things on WCW Saturday Night. Despite being a mammoth of a man, well over 6’5″ tall, he would become less of a roadblock and more like roadkill. The loss put Roadblock’s record at 1-1 and things would get much worse. After two botched attempts at putting the ‘Block in the Torture Rack (and almost breaking Roadie’s neck in the process) an obviously humbled and embarrassed Luger finally got the big guy up for the win. When the time came for Luger to end the disasterpiece, hell, he couldn’t even do that. Numerous times the camera picked up both Lex and Roadblock freezing and then very noticeably giving each other verbal commands. A sloppy match-up that threatened kayfabe more than the internet ever could. As soon as Raw hit the screen at 8:00, WCW countered by giving the fans what they really wanted. Two days later the match of the week would occur. You know, with flowing storylines like that, is it any wonder that Nitro was winning the ratings war? HBK and Steve Austin? Forget that, the ‘Block is taking on the Total Package!!!! Obviously full of confidence, he proceeded to challenge Lex Luger for a match on the upcoming Nitro. He stormed to the back, grabbed future JOTW nominee Dusty Wolfe, and carried him to the ring and pummelled him on the way to being 1-0 in WCW. However Macho Man left the arena early due to being stressed out by problems with Elizabeth and the NWO, thus leaving Roadie without an opponent and very mad. In his first WCW Saturday Night match, and really his only moment of glory, he was to take on Randy Savage. You get stuck down there, there’s no crossing that line. All you driver’s ed students know what I’m getting at. His crotch is between two solid yellow lines. man dressed up like a stretch of highway, complete with yellow street lines running down his pants is pretty scary. Say what you want about Giant Gonzalez’s naked bigfoot outfit, but seeing a 400 lb. It just sit there motionless, kinda like its owner.Īnd the tights, oh boy. Why did he carry it? Who knows, he never used it. On his way to the ring, Roadie would always be seen carrying his trusty roadblock with him. It was there where fans would be subjected to one of the goofiest gimmicks ever. He would drop the “Rochester” moniker and in late 1996, he would enter the mainstream world of WCW. Presented for your amusement, I give you the silliest looking traffic delay ever…the mighty Roadblock.Īfter making his wrestling debut in the early 90’s on the east coast independent scene, the man then known as the Rochester Roadblock decided he wasn’t satisfied just being a local New York highway menace. He became a walking, talking, inanimate construction object. This week’s Jobber Of The Week however, took the job related gimmick to a whole new level. The ring was full of wrestling tax-men, dentists, garbage men and construction workers. In the mid-nineties there was a plethora of wrestlers who appeared to have other careers besides wrestling.
