Who am I? Challenge Game

[BK-097]

Not him either

1) I am best known for portraying two different ethnic centric characters (and variations thereof).
1a) My first gimmick was a bit of a throwback to the old evil foreigner gimmicks of years past
2) I wrestled for all four major US promotion I could have during my career.
2a) I am retired and have been since 2014.
2b) I was in a faction in each major promotion I worked for. In almost all cases the factions were very similar in identity with one outlier. All the factions I belonged to had to do with where me and my stablemates were from.
3) As part of a storyline I have been the subject of censorship
4) Upon shedding my first persona I performed for the rest of my career in variations on a character that closer to home for me

Regal?

Not him either. I’ll give it a bit before adding another clue. I think the next clue might be a give away

Never mind...my guess was still wrestling.....

[BK-097]

Gonna give this one more try and then I'll possibly just pull the pin

5a) The thing I have in common with Perry Saturn is also the thing that was the source of the storyline censorship

Ok..who is this...it's been bugging me.

Vito LoGrasso

1) Was Vito for most of his career, but was previously Skull von Krush, portraying a terrible German parody
1a) See aforementioned terrible German parody
2) Wrestled for WWF/E; ECW; WCW; and TNA
2a) was meant to tip the fact that the four major promotions were those mentioned above
2b) was in the following factions: ECW - the Baldies; WCW - the Mamalukes; WWF/E - FBI; TNA - the New York Connection
3) Censored...in storyline
3a) for wearing a thong under the dress he was sporting for a while in WWE
4) Once he took on the Vito persona it was a bit more in line with who he was, an Italian American from NY, rather than a weird German throwback
5) Wearing a dress as part of a storyline was something in common with Saturn

[PEN15v2]

Ah

[PEN15v2]

1 - He was never or rarely billed from his actual home town or country.
2 - Definite main event star, but more known for 2 midcard title matches on big cards.
3 - Used many catch phrases, including one that was eventually used by an even bigger star only a couple of years later.

Scott Hall/Razor Ramon?

[PEN15v2]

Not him

[BK-097]

Hmmm…Roddy Piper

[PEN15v2]

Billed from Glasgow, but was from Canada
Main event talent, but the Starrcade 83 and Wrestlemania 8 seem to be more fondly remembered than any of his main events
Used "the bottom line" as a catch phrase and title for his segments in the mid 90s, and the Ringmaster used that very famously starting in 96

[BK-097]

I wasn't sure if I was reaching on number two, but from a pure match quality perspective, those are his two finest performances, at least on a more national level.

Sweet.

1) I hail from a famous wrestling town
2) I took an L on two separate occasions to two debuting stars - both of whom would go on to hold top titles
3) I held three different midcard titles in WCW
