Storyline-wise, there might have been a solid foundation for the backgrounds of the characters that were involved, but it still makes me feel a little uncomfortable.. it did back then, and it definitely does now. As far as terrorist gimmicks having been around for a long time, I don't think most people view the team of Lo-Down or Muhammad Hassan attacking the Undertaker with his terrorist cell very favorably. (Though personally, I thought Muhammad Hassan was great before they introduced the terrorist cell angle). Maybe we can't fault anyone retroactively... back ten years ago the norm for politically accepted was lower, and the bar was even lower ten years before that... but these products are still sold in 2008... and that is an entirely different topic of discussion. I see where you're coming from, but the original Sheik was wrestling in the 50s. Wrestling has always been a little less PC than the norm, and I just don't see The Terrorists as being offensive. Comrade Terror and Kakan are described as 'cosmic terrorists'. I just never made a connection. Maybe its just me. I actually thought Frenzy was an improvement, but yeah...Psycho was terrible. Cycle Hog was a giant step up. The stroy was even weird...."our planet is super serious and wanted to have us committed fo being too fun-loving"? Why not come back as the Pagan Gods or something and update the barbarian clothing? |

Nah, there's just some real easy to offend people out there and it seems to be getting worse. I hate that, PC bull. They should have to sit in a room with Don Rickles for a week and a half. Now thats an idea. Even with the same stats they would have been way better off. |

Gotta agree with the Norse Gods/Asylum angle. Just got to me to see a team on the top COTG team, then go to be a jobber team.

In official storylines? The Alpha Stone ending. The completely bizarre Buck Steele/Genocide, Genocide taking over, Genocide and Buck switching minds, and then Buck becomes Steele Freak saga. Blazing Skull's face turn. Wolf's heel turn. Anything involving Mad Jester and his clone. Everything in the GWF's Cosmic Battle storyline,d espite the fact that Osk turned it into awesomeness in the aCe. Buck became Steele Freak ? That one got by me allright. |

I guess I'm one of the few who was neutral on Sectarian, or at least I'm in a silent minority or majority. Hated the drawing, but the character never really moved me much one way or the other.

I've always enjoyed Sectarian though the art could have been a lot better.

I liked Sectarian(An Animen) but his art was bad
He had some success in my fed and even held the tag titles twice with Terak as the Savage Ones
Mind you they didn't hold them lomg
