| 1) THE YETI Big John Studd's protege Ron Reis wrapped in what looks like wet toilet paper to resemble a mummy....his name? Oh it's the Yeti. Isn't a Yeti the abominable snow man not a giant mummy? On an even more pathetic note... this gimmick is a blatant rip off of the 1993 Jim Cornette owned Smokey Mountain Wrestling's character Prince Kharis, who was also a 7' guy wrapped in wet toilet paper. And again..who thinks Cornette being involved with TNA is a good idea? This is the same guy whose gimmick was to carry a tennis racket. |
