Fucking Ole pitched it to Jim Herd as a joke and Herd loved it so they went with it. Was never supposed to be Flair but the guy who it was supposed to be quit and they were going to make Windham do it. Flair stepped up and said he didn't want Windham to be tarnished by the gimmick and did it instead.

That's how i kind of remember it. When they finallly got around to announcing that it was Flair it was like huh?

I remember the earlier version of the Scorpion having a different Body type than Flair. Thats what made it so stupid. You could tell that they made the switch over to Flair mid to late stream.

Still gives me an inappropriate giggle thinking about how choked up people got putting over Benoit.

One of my all time favorites was in the middle of the Savage DDP feud, Savage will not face DDP. Savage vs La Parka. about 2 minutes into match,bam diamond cutter out of nowhere and off comes the mask to a smiling DDP

Aside from Henry's retirement, I'd say Rollins turning on The Shield was another good recent one. I think lots of people were ready for an extended face run from the stable and if they did break up it was usually Ambrose who was cited as most likely to turn heel.

Good one
