TWO WEEKS!



I rarely ever post about the great sport, but while sharing old wrestling Youtube links with G, I feel the need to tell you my favourite ever lost gimmick in wrestling. I remember watching this clear as day in Mikie's basement. He was such a mark for this and we all thought these guys were the next big tag team.

"The New Breed was a professional wrestling tag team, formed in 1986, consisting of Chris Champion and Sean Royal.
In 1986 Chris Champion and Sean Royal were put together as a tag team in Florida Championship Wrestling. Their gimmick had them claiming to be from the future, specifically the year 2002. As a result they often referred to Dusty Rhodes as Mr. President. They also believed that Lazer Tron was a real robot, since robots were common where they were from, and they constantly referred to the flux capacitor, the fictional time conduit from the Back to the Future films, but always incorrectly pronounced it Capacitator. In 1987, they moved to the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions and immediately challenged the Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson). The feud was heating up when both men were (legitly) injured in a car accident. Royal returned right away, but was not pushed except to be attacked by the Midnight Express (Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton). Champion was out for quite awhile, but did return to cut some promos with his cast marked up to look like it was "computerized". The team disbanded shortly after the accident, with Royal quitting wrestling to become a construction worker."



They thought this guy was coming back, so they kept pushing he would be back from the future "in two weeks". Every week, Mikie would be like "NEW BREED: TWO WEEKS" every week for like a year. And it never happened. They must have gone back to 2002 and served under President Dusty.

Whoever came up with this genius idea needs to be running the company.
