Were there ever moments in classic W.W.F. where you had to consider stopping the suspension of disbelief and wonder what in the world is going on? This could manifest itself in questioning whether wrestling is "real" or simply wondering if the promoter has ulterior motives? Here is my Top Ten picks for moments that made me scratch my head and say, "OK, wait a minute." It would be cool to read your similar moments, too.
10. One Man Gang abandons his terrifying street gang persona to become an African dancing fool
9. Ultimate Warrior is lured into tombs and snake pits by Jake Roberts in an effort to confront his phobic issues regarding The Undertaker
8. Big Boss Man claiming he repossessed Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Belt from Jake Roberts because he was told he should "reclaim stolen property."
7. Tony Atlas' African re-birth as Saba Simba (wow, two African rebirths on one list
)
6. Terry Taylor's morphing from a competent ring general to a barnyard animal
5. George "The Animal" Steele's de-evolution from fearsome lunatic to the befriending of a stuffed animal
4. The Sheepherders' renouncing their bloodthirsty past to become lovable Bushwhackers
3. The "retirement" of the still-capable Ronnie Garvin after a loss to Greg "The Hammer" Valentine
2. The latter half of 1989 in general, especially actor Zeus taking a sabbatical from his professional to become a drooling monster challenging for the World Heavyweight title, quite remarkable since he never actually won an actual match to contend
And Number 1 ...
The Islanders have kidnapped Matilda; The British Bulldogs found her, but she is now recovering in hospital (hopefully with strong Blue Cross coverage); now, here's an address where you can send Get Well cards to the canine
