The good ol' bookers in Memphis took a break from the "monster" wrestler formula in the early 90's to bring us...Dr. Death. No, not Steve Williams, but rather, some scrub in, well, scrubs.

His manager was a woman named Nurse Kratchett, who had a nasty habit of picking fights with Miss Texas, now known to WWF fans as Jacqueline. Of course, her name was cribbed from the movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

There really isn't much to talk about when it comes to Dr. Death here. It was Kenny Kendall under the mask and he held the USWA Southern belt for all of 2 days back in 1992, so he has that going for him. Most interestingly, his finisher was a bit different: as he would choke his opponent on the ropes, Kratchett would hit them in the head his a bedpan. And they say New Jack is hardcore.

Other than that, most people will remember him for putting the mask on the wrong half of his partnership.

UPDATE: After originally posting this, I was told that Tony Myers took up the Dr. Death gimmick a few years later. Tony has a few other gimmicks that will be showing up here eventually.
