The art looks more like John Morrison than Riggs to me but I suppose I haven't spent much time studying what Riggs looks like, either. I'm sure the British Bulldogs will run over the American Males to retain the gold.

Scotty Riggs another one remember the name in WCW . What matches or feuds he was in , haven't got a clue and again worringly I watched . The Mrs questions was he that muscly ? He was in the American Males tag team alongside Buff Bagwell. Bagwell turned on him when Bagwell joined the nWo. A little while later Raven gave him a drop toe hold onto a chair. He supposedly lost the sight in one of his eyes, put on an eye patch and joined Raven's flock. I don't think he had any big feuds of his own after that. He was always involved in whatever the Flock was involved in. After WCW he was in ECW for a short time as Scotty Anton. He got a new finisher he called The Clap (a sharpshooter) because ECW was edgy. Instead of the grungy character, he was now a cocky heel. I always enjoyed Scotty Riggs though. He really didn't have a terribly long career but he had some good memorable moments. I hope we can one day get some more Flock members in the game so it makes sense to release the eye-patched version of him. The artwork looks great, in my opinion. Very great likeness to the source picture:

Very great likeness to the source picture: A great summary of Riggs's career, Pike! I was recently reminded via YouTube that Riggs also did a heel gimmick after the Flock ended where he somehow got his sight back and carried a small mirror to the ring, kind of like "The Narcissist." This was one of those gimmicks that was mainly featured on WCW Saturday Night in '99. Even though Saturday Night by this time was by far a lower-level show, they still had some decent workers and gimmicks on this show that you rarely saw on Nitro or Thunder.

I actually watched that more than Nitro and Thunder since no competition from anything else.

That's the Jimmy Hart era of SN, right?

That's the Jimmy Hart era of SN, right? Yes, I believe so. There was some good stuff in that era that received little attention. Even though it was stupid to have "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan become TV champion by finding the belt in the garbage, I liked how for the first few months of 2000 (and the last months of the Saturday Night show in its entire run), the TV title was sort of exclusive to that show.

Oh c'mon Cory it could have been worse. He could have found Madusa's belt in the trash and became WWF Womens Champion lol

I remember Sick Boy also had a post-Flock gimmick, which saw him much less sickly looking.
