Perhaps the most vile gimmick to emerge from the Russo era of the WWF is this one. Thankfully, it lasted less than a month.

It all began innocently enough (well, about as innocent as Attitude WWF got). During some matches involving The Godfather, a strange man dressed in all-white would run out of the crowd to give him a beatdown. This occurred a couple of times and it was revealed that the guy was working with Droz and Prince Albert.

He wrestled all of one show and was never heard from again. And he botched a spot pretty bad during that match.

 

Now, here's the backstory: This guy, called Key during his one actual match, was in fact, Vic Grimes. Vic, a (no pun intended) huge star on the indie circuit was brought in to team with Droz and Albert. What's more is that his gimmick was going to be that of a drug dealer. Yes, you read that right. Key, as in "Kilo.


However, during his one match, Key botched a move pretty bad. This was due to his wearing regular dress shoes instead of boots (he couldn't find any all-white boots).

 

Disappointed in the big man's debut, the WWF shipped Grimes off to ECW, where he had the honor of replacing P.N. News in The Baldies.

A drug dealer folks. Teamed with a guy who pukes and a tattoo artist. Feuding with a pimp. Pusher Vs. Pimp. Vince Russo = Too many 70's Fred Williamson movies.
