I was in the dungeon when Barakus was training at Bret’s. He worked the odd stampede show. A 12” piece of 1” rebar is less stiff.

[@alanguages]

Hey man, I had a friend who said, that Barakus was lazy and thought that since he already had a WWF contract, he did not give a shit about actually being a good pro wrestler. Effectively, wanted to take short cuts without putting in the work.

Giant Gonzales was horrible. He was actually signed by the Atlanta Hawks and just couldn't play. So Ted Turner who owned the team and WCW decided to give him a shot at wrestling.

[@mariotweedy5030]

​​@@smarkslowplay3512To give credit to Brakus, he was top 10 Olympia bodybuilder, you dont really need "go muscles" for that, to have "go muscles" for wrestling you need training, and the guy wrestled for less than 3 years in total

[@CharCharTV]

Maybe because I am not a very wealthy man but $700 a week in the early 90's seems like some pretty decent money for a rookie wrestler. That's roughly $1600 in today's money. Which adds up to around $80k a year.

[@darksideon]

You're correct. People tend to talk about past money by today's standards. 700 a week is great when you take into account that rent on average was around 300-450 a month in the 90s, and groceries/utilities were considerably cheaper as well.

[@wa2k99]

Now factor in taxes and road expenses

[@Shannon-tm7ek]

Also they had to pay their own medical and insurance bills. Rocky was already being groomed to be a top guy and had deep family connections to WWE. Not fair, but it makes sense.

[@edmondcamp2878]

The Rock might have been making $700.00 a week but you have to take into consideration he had to furnish his on transportation or pitch in with whoever he rode with and probably wore out a few automobiles and had no benefits and or health insurance.

[@achimsinn6189]

They did build Brakkus as German. But when he tried to do a promo in German he stuttered and stumbled over every single word barely even able to introduce himself. The german commentary tried to save the situation by saying he might forgot the language due to not being in Germany for a long time, but it was way too bad for him getting over as a German wrestler in Germany.

[@jesterr7133]

I remember when they sent Giant Gonzalez to Memphis. I talked to him once. He was a really nice guy. They just put him on tv way too soon because of his size. It was amazing how massive he was. He was even bigger in person than he was on tv.

[@MeltzersStammer]

In WWE the mid 2000's was also a dark time for numerous bad workers. Heidenreich, Kenzo Suzuki and Luther Reigns etc. Gene Snitsky wasn't the best, however, he deserves a HOF induction just for punting the baby doll.

[@herecomesdatrain]

[@MxMoondoggie]

Tiger Ali Singh was grandfathered into the business without paying his dues because of his dad being famous in Japan and that got him his start in tag matches with his dad. His dad was fascinating in himself being a megastar for years as a heel with crazy entrances and later known for deathmatches, he was also fairly popular in Canada during the 70's. I think with this kid his dad pushed him too soon and Vince saw what his dad did in Japan and hoped somehow to recreate it but he stunk up the joint.

[@ultimateformulations]

I was a 12 year old kid fascinated with bodybuilding, so I knew Barakas as Achim Albrecht. He was big and wide and ripped, but didn't do a whole lot in the pro leagues of bodybuilding if I remember correctly- but was seen a lot in ads. Strange to make a similar impression in two businesses. But, here we are talking about it still. So, that's something anyways...

[@jd9119]

To be fair though, being successful at the pro-level in bodybuilding is more difficult than any other sport. It's not just gear and how hard you work in the gym. It's the hours and hours of practicing poses and the great diet. And if you don't have the genetics, there isn't much you can do about that.

[@ultimateformulations]

@@jd9119 agreed. He had a genetically wide waist and not the best aesthetic "flow.". And while not super tall, was tall enough to be a challenge to fully fill out in comparison to more compact competition. Trust me, i know the feeling. I've competed at the amateur levels several times and was always too tall for my weight. I'm grateful for the classic physique category these days. Height/weight guidelines.

[@ozzymorrison8628]

Who else thought the guy on the thumbnail was The ultimate warrior ( Jim Hellwig) 😂.

[@BigLee1901]

If I didn't jump on the WWF/E bandwagon in 1997 (late 1996, hey, the Stone Cold injuring Pillman is what got my eyes glued, but not fully yet), maybe I would've, but it was 1997, the year that I was introduced to the In Your House Arcade game in which Warrior was the only wrestler I didn't know because the other nine wrestlers were still on the roster while Warrior wasn't, and then I start my action figure collection on Jakks Series 2 starting with Undertaker and Bret Hart while seeing that the rest of the series featured Owen Hart, Vader, and Shawn Michaels along with? the only IYH roster member to not be on the WWF roster since the Summer of 1996 The Ultimate Warrior (even though I had a better chance of knowing Warrior before I even heard of Brakkus, and I make jokes about Tom Brandi being forgettable, this Brakkus guy holds no candle to him, but at least he can say he's more remembered than Kevin Quinn, I feel sorry for Quinn in this category)

[@shaunhumphrey1362]

It's been a very long time since I heard the name Glen Kulka. If memory serves, he was a former CFL player (Canadian Football League) with the Toronto Argonauts. He was a Vince experiment, similar to what WCW tried several years later with Kevin Greene. I remember promotional material hyping Kulkamania, but the guy didn't amount to anything. In fact I don't believe he ever actually appeared in WWF, unless it was house shows that I'm not aware of.

[@erictoro6519]

The ultimate warrior was a cringe to look at but as time went on i think he developed into something unique we never saw before in the 80s and sold out lots of arenas . He was kind of like a comic book character that came out of comic page .and became very interesting.to look at. He didn't know how to wrestle but made a good brawler . An Entertainer for the family .but i do agree with dutch but in his early days the ultimate warrior was a cringe .at first. .

Glenn Kulka played in the Canadian Football League for almost 10 years. He was a defensive lineman; suspended at one point for using steroids. He'd have been in his 30s already when he took up wrestling -- too late for most guys to learn it properly as a professional.

What Dutch said about how you can tell if the guy is any good just by the way that he walks to the ring is absolutely true. El Gigante's WCW debut, I was just a kid when I saw that and I immediately knew that he was going to stink it up. His gate and body motions were stiff as a board. The guy literally looked like he was incapable of moving and just....rigid And zero fan interaction and even less charisma. I forget who it was he debuted against but it was supposed to be a squash match obviously and whoever was just ran circles around him physically. The whole 2 minute match was completely unbelievable
