It must have been strange to see Mean Mark now show up as a zombie basically. Were you disappointed that it turned out to be him? I don't think he was one of the top stars in the WCW.
I love seeing those older promos (aside from the F in WWF being censored). I'll take those charismatic wrestlers and goofy gimmicks over supposed in ring generals. It's unfortunate that a lot of them were really into drugs.
Wasn’t disappointed at all. Back then it was so common for guys to jump organizations with different gimmicks. I had no clue The Undertaker gimmick would last so long.
Until Ric Flair joined WWF, which was about a year after The Undertaker, WWF would never acknowledge guys had careers before, including major names like Harley Race and Dusty Rhodes.
So yeah, with The Undertaker, seemed like another transfer and gimmick change. I actually liked him as Mean Mark, I remember The Heart Punch was his finisher.
