Who remembers....

The fake Razor Ramon and Diesel??????

To this day I haven't figured fully why the WWE made a shocking decision to hire some bootlegged wrestlers.

Even at the tender age of 9/10 years old, I wasn't fooled by these fakes and it really upset me. Every week I was just wishing for the originals to return and they never did

because at the time the wwe had the name rights thats why when they were on wcw the wrestlers had no name. at the time wwe sure wcw over the name saying the wrestlers were still using the character.thats why wwe used fake Razor Ramon and Diesel to show they owned the name and character

One of those bootlegged wrestlers went on to be Kane, did he not?

Later that month, play-by-play announcer Jim Ross introduced Rick Bognar as "Razor Ramon" and Jacobs as "Diesel" as part of a storyline mocking the departure of former employees Scott Hall and Kevin Nash respectively, while attempting to portray Ross as a disgruntled employee. The idea proved unpopular and was dropped almost immediately, and despite receiving a WWF Tag Team Championship match against Owen Hart and The British Bulldog at In Your House 12: It's Time, the gimmick's television lifespan lasted only until the 1997 Royal Rumble, where Jacobs was the second-to-last participant (with the exception of Stone Cold Steve Austin, who was previously eliminated by Bret Hart but the officials did not witness the elimination, so he re-entered the ring). He continued to work live events as "Diesel" through April, but would not make any WWF appearances from then until October, as the character of Kane was gradually introduced.[15]
