Hello everyone and welcome to Saturday Night’s Main Event! I’m your host Carja McMahon and I have no cohost this week as I can’t think of another play on the name Jesse “The Body” Ventura!

I NEVER liked the One Man Gang. I’m not crazy about tattoos and the whole biker look just doesn’t work for me. He was also overweight and didn’t wrestle a style I enjoyed. There was literally nothing I liked about him. I appreciate the Gang more now in hindsight, but he’ll just never be one of my favorites. He’s here because he’s got a distinctive look for a heel.

Here’s Barnaby as the One Man Gang. Dooooooooh!

Here’s a comparison to the original. The colours of the original piece are a bit more muted. The proportions were of his legs versus his body have changed over time.

That’s all for this week. More wrestling fun next Saturday!

Saturday Night’s Main Event – Bam Bam Bigelow

Hello everyone! I’m Carja McMahon and these are the Superstars of Wrestling!

Bam Bam Bigelow was an anomaly. He was a huge guy who had incredible agility. He had this really mean tough-guy look and was introduced with all the bad guy managers jumping over each other to manage him. Then in a twist, he hires this new guy (to WWF fans at the time) to be his manager and was a good guy. It looked like he was going to be pushed straight to the top of the card. And then he just disappeared. He went to wrestle elsewhere and came back to the WWF to be a bad guy but he never reached the heights originally expected. I didn’t care much one way or the other. He wasn’t my cup of tea, but I didn’t hate him either.

So Chae is here as Bam Bam. Her head shape was the most conducive to this pick. The head tattoo was something else to draw.

That’s all for this week. Next week, we start the heels (bad guys) flashbacks.

Saturday Night’s Main Event: Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Welcome everyone to Saturday Night’s Main Event! I’m your host Carja McMahon alongside Bessy The Jody Ventura. Bad name ripoffs aside, let’s get to ringside!

I can’t say that Hacksaw Jim Duggan was ever one of my favorite wrestlers back in the day. I was happier when he was off my screen than on it. Still he’s had a long and I daresay successful career. The real reason I chose him for this set of mashups is because I got to meet him this October and he’s one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He scores big points for that.

Here’s Skitter as ol’ Hacksaw. Hoooooooooo! He’d be giving Duggan’s trademark thumb’s up but…he has no thumbs.

That’s all for this week. Chae is up next to finish the babyface side of things. See you next Saturday for the reveal!

Hey there flashback fans! It’s the last Christmas flashback just in time for…two weeks after New Year’s.

Here’s Big Oonch as a Frosty the Snowman. A snowman isn’t as strictly tied to Christmas so this doesn’t feel as late as it could.

Here’s a comparison to the original.

That’s all for this week. We’re going back to some rasslin’ next week!

Hello and welcome to the first installment of Flashback Friday of 2018. We’ve got a couple more Christmas pieces to go. Here’s one of them!

Sass is here as the Nutcracker Prince(ss).

Here’s a comparison to the original piece. I had zero interest in trying to do a better Ebeneezer Scrooge which is why I made a radical departure into other Christmas goodies.

That’s all for this week. More next Friday!
