Long before internet dirt sheets and social media spoiled every major wrestling signing, the WWF / WWE relied on introductory vignettes to build anticipation for new characters. Whether it was showing the Million Dollar Man bribing his way through daily life or Mr. Perfect pulling off impossible athletic feats, these old-school video packages made wrestlers feel larger than life before they ever stepped foot in a ring.
In this video, we look back at the lost art of the pro wrestling debut vignette. We'll look at legendary masterpieces that are still very memorable, strange experiments that included fan involvement, and a few disasters that fell completely flat.
Debut / Return vignettes covered in This Episode include Ted Dibiase, Goldust, Mankind, Razor Ramon, Bray Wyatt and others.
