When I was a kid, me and my best buddy would hang out and put all of our Hasbros together to make a giant fed. Out of this came some strange singles pushes.
Notably for me was Brian Knobbs of the Nasty Boys, for some reason I had him turn into a guy that could take incredible damage and risk his own health and safety. He went on to be an unbeatable World Champ that would kick out of everyone's finisher.
Also there was Warlord, as far as I remember as a kid, he had the record for the quickest Royal Rumble elimination ever at some point, and that was our favourite event, so usually if you didn't perform well in the rumble we hated you. But for some reason we saw Warlord as a take-no-nonsense does-whatever-he-likes kinda badass that fans should be going crazy for. Maybe we foresaw the coming of Stone Cold Steve Austin in years to come.
So most kids who'd join us would say "Warlord is your world champ? he's terrible!"
We also had non-wrestling figures like the Terminator, Mumm-Ra (of Thundercats) and a red Batman figure we called Doom become champion.
Who did you give a singles push to that never had any real success in real life?
