Tank Abbott would be a great get if he signs. I always hated the boy band groupie gimmick though. I'd probably put him in a stable with other MMA guys.

I liked his time in WCW and really enjoyed 3 Count but him being their "groupie" as you describe, was pretty dumb. As bad as WCW was around that time, there really were still a lot of highlights.

I would venture a guess that, if he signs, there is a next to a zero percent chance that they would use the boy band groupie gimmick for a card in the George Tragos / Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame sets. Kinda similar to how we didn't get a Sexual Chocolate version of Mark Henry or a Waylon Mercy version of Dan Spivey, or a I.R.S. version of Mike Rotunda in those sets. IMO, the TNTHOF sets are all about respecting the contributions to, sacrifices for, and legacies within the sport of professional wrestling made by the legends honored by the Hall of Fame. Kinda hard to do that with a "Wrestlecrap" gimmick, IMO. Note, please realize that I am not saying the wrestlers would have been named that on their cards, more like they would be dressed in slightly altered gimmick attire - a la Ted DiBiase's color starter set card (No reference to the Million Dollar Man gimmick, but clearly, that was the intention).

Yeah it wasn't all bad. And the three count gimmick itself was fine for a group of annoying heels. They just should have pushed Tank on his own as a threat, and making him a goofball kind of ruined that ever being possible.

Another guy who WCW ruined in a similar way was Mike Awesome. His career was dead and buried after the 70's guy and Fat Chick Thriller gimmicks. 😂

I don't think any of us really think Tank would get the dancing boy band gimmick. I hope he gets an awesome looking card like Severn, Frye and Shamrock. Werner knocked it out of the park on those cards (as he does with all of these sets).

Here's a prediction of an MMA fighter that should be in Tragos / Thesz down the road. I just saw his highlights on YouTube. "The Iceman" CHUCK LIDDELL.
