Who am I? Challenge Game

[PEN15v2]

Coach with the win. Jake Roberts.

1 - His drug history and association with Beyond the Matt, and recovery with DDP are more the talking points these days.
2 - He is #2 in the Undertaker's streak
3 - His promo delivery, assistance with WWF creative, and mic work on AEW today. All are more lasting impressions of his career than anything he's done as a worker.

[Team Farrell]

Alright, let's give this a try:

1. I started my WWF career in an occupation gimmick, but have had several others
2. I have won Tag Team Championships with multiple different partners
3. I had several brief main event runs, but never won a top title

[Powder]

EDIT: Bob Holly

Thurman "Sparky" Plug, then Bombastic Bob, Bob Holly, then Hardcore Holly
Tag Titles with 1-2-3 Kid, Crash and Cody

[Team Farrell]

Damn, that didn't take long.

[Powder]

occupation gimmick gave it away, since there are only a 'few' but not many became tag champs more than once...

And give me a few hours to come up with another set of clues.

[Powder]

This one might be a little easy:

1. When I broke into the WWF, I was paired with someone who is a major player in the professional wrestling scene now.
2. I also worked with one of the greatest of all time, before he was.
3. I won 1 title.

Edit:

Never mind... you said WWF

[BK-097]

Bull Buchanan?

he came up as a member of the Truth Commission under the management of the Jackyl (Don Callis)
as B2 he was John Cena’s sidekick
Pretty sure he is a one time tag champ

[Powder]

YES to all!!!!

[BK-097]

Sweet!

1). I come from a wrestling family but am most associated with another
2). The bulk of my career was spent in the territories where I had my most continued success in tag teams winning 3 well regarded regional tag straps with different partners
3). The backstory provided to my character in one of the major promotions borrowed from legitimate history, and if true would have been truly unfortunate.

[Team Farrell]

Complete shot in the dark based on the first two clues: Col. Robert Parker. He was a Welch, but he and his brother wrestled as Fullers, and was mostly a tag team guy.

I have no idea if he fits the third, though.

[BK-097]

Not Robert Fuller

EDIT: minor tweak to clues and new clue


1). I come from a wrestling family but am most associated with another
2). The bulk of my career was spent in the territories winning 3 tag straps in 3 notable territories with different partners, though tag straps were not my only titles
3). The backstory provided to my character in one of the major promotions borrowed from legitimate history, and if true would have been truly unfortunate.
4). My greatest personal success (regional HW championship) came prior to adopting my best known gimmick.

[BK-097]

I had added a clue, but it may have gotten missed and if not, I'll add a new clue


1). I come from a wrestling family but am most associated with another
2). The bulk of my career was spent in the territories winning 3 tag straps in 3 notable territories with different partners, though tag straps were not my only titles
3). The backstory provided to my character in one of the major promotions borrowed from legitimate history, and if true would have been truly unfortunate.
4). My greatest personal success (regional HW championship) came prior to adopting my best known gimmick.
5). At times in my career I wore a mask

[Team Farrell]

The mask and the territory stuff has me leaning toward Bullet Bob.

[BK-097]

Not Bullet Bob.

I maybe should clarify something

1). I come from a wrestling family but am most associated with another
2). The bulk of my career was spent in the territories winning 3 tag straps in 3 notable territories with different partners, though tag straps were not my only titles
3). The backstory provided to my character in one of the major promotions borrowed from legitimate history, and if true would have been truly unfortunate.
4). My greatest personal success (regional HW championship) came prior to adopting my best known gimmick.
5). When I adopted my best known gimmick I donned a mask
