You didn't mention Glacier. Mortis and Wrath were good, but Glacier sucked.
Love the mention of Greg Gagne. Throw Mike Graham and Erik Watts in there too. Shane McMahon could actually pull off good matches. He had one against Kane at a PPV that stole the show, and the one against Angle where Angle forgot which pane of glass was gimmicked was good too.
Wasn't Glacier the Blood Runs Cold guy? Huge buildup with no payoff at all.
Hey, let's not say things we can't take back about KISS.
At least Erik Watts had the size to make him believable. The skills, not as much. He was terrible in his initial run. Ex- jocks never work for me. Every promo he did had to include the phrase "when I was playing college football...".
In that vein, two words: David Flair.
