Marcus Louis

Louis made his WWE television debut on the 12 February, 2014 episode of *NXT*, tagging with Jason Jordan in a loss to Luke Harper and Erick Rowan of the Wyatt Family.

On the 8 May, 2014 episode of *NXT*, Louis formed an alliance with Sylvester Lefort as two French characters representing 'the Legionnaires', and later participated unsuccessfully in a 20-man battle royal for an NXT Championship title shot. On the 26 June episode of *NXT*, Lefort and Louis attempted to attack Colin Cassady, who was saved by Enzo Amore. This was a continuation of Lefort's feud with Amore and Cassady back in September 2013.

At NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way in September 2014, Lefort lost to Amore, and was thus supposed to lose his hair as per the match stipulation. However, Lefort ran away and Louis instead lost his hair and eyebrows via Amore and Cassady's hair removal cream. Louis initially persisted in his alliance with Lefort, hiding his lack of hair with headgear and a wig, only to lose to Amore in a singles match on the 25 September episode of *NXT* when his baldness was exposed. On the 16 October episode of *NXT*, Lefort accidentally knocked off Louis' wig, this led to Louis snapping and attacking Lefort. On the 30 October 2014 episode of *NXT*, Louis' character, now without entrance music, began screaming "You did this to me!" This coincided with Louis defeating Lefort in a singles match. This storyline led to Louis' character turning crazy.

On the 27 November, 2014 episode of *NXT*, Louis lost to Tyler Breeze, who constantly taunted Louis as being ugly. This led to a storyline where Louis could not be found, only to resurface in January 2015, stalking Breeze from afar. The storyline with Breeze was dropped when Louis returned months later in June, still bald and deranged, tagging again with Jason Jordan in a loss to the Vaudevillains. On the 12 August, 2015 episode of *NXT*, Louis lost to NXT Champion Finn Bálor in a non-title match.

Louis wrestled only three more matches during 2016; all three matches occurred over the month of January in a losing effort. It was reported on February 5 that Louis was released from the WWE.

In the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Jacqueline and Marc Mero separated on the November 22, 1998 episode of *Sunday Night Heat*, and the jilted Jacqueline formed a new stable of women known as the **Pretty Mean Sisters** (or "PMS") with Terri Runnels, who was separated from her husband, Goldust. During a match between Mero and Goldust on the November 23 episode of *Raw*, Jacqueline and Terri entered the ring and low-blowed both men.

Terri also claimed to be pregnant with new boyfriend, Val Venis' baby, but when he found out about the news, he dumped her. They later formed an alliance with D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry, accompanying them to the ring for a match against Venis and The Godfather in December at Rock Bottom: In Your House. In January 1999, Terri claimed to have suffered a miscarriage after she was knocked off of the ring apron by Brown. The guilty Brown became a servant to PMS, who forced him to wrestle his friend, Mark Henry. The deception lasted until February 1, when the ringside doctor told Brown that Terri had not been pregnant. PMS then feuded with Brown by costing him matches and attacking his new manager, Ivory. Jacqueline returned to the women's division in March, and on the April 12 episode of *Raw is War*, she, Ivory, Tori, and Sable took part in a four-way match for the Women's Championship.

As a part of the storyline, the three women used Meat for his body. Also, they would force him to do their bidding and wear wrestling tights that resembled a pair of tight underwear. After Shamrock left the WWF, Terri and Jacqueline continued to assist Meat in his matches. Tension began to grow between the two women as Terri, in storyline, exhausted Meat before his matches and then berated her fatigued lover when he lacked the energy to win matches. Jacqueline left the stable after Terri forced Meat to kiss her feet on the August 1 episode of *Sunday Night Heat*.

On the July 1 episode of *SmackDown*, Singh revealed that Khali joined with Mahal because they are brothers-in-law, with Mahal threatening to divorce Khali's sister if Khali didn't do as he said, which would bring Khali's family back into poverty.

Singh was absent from television for over two and a half years, but managed Khali again for one night only in January 2014.
Mo

Buzz

In 1993, Mo debuted alongside Mabel in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as faces with a rap gimmick. They wore bright clothes and had positive attitudes. They were teamed up with a rapping manager Oscar, and the team name became “Men On a Mission” (or M.O.M., the initials of the three men). The team met with moderate success in the ring but got over mainly due to Mabel’s unusual size, their fun loving personas, and Oscar’s crowd pleasing raps. Their fun loving personalities were prominently displayed when they appeared at Survivor Series 1993 dressed up as Doinks (referred to by color commentator Bobby Heenan as “Doinks on a Mission”) and teamed up with The Bushwhackers (also dressed as Doink) in a comedy match.

Their next feud was against the WWF Tag Team Champions The Quebecers and they even won the titles during a United Kingdom tour. Two days later, the Quebecers regained the titles in a rematch. While the title change was reported on WWF television, the fact that Men on a Mission were former champions wasn’t something that was mentioned in the future. In the summer of 1994, Mabel started to wrestle more singles matches; he was seen as the spectacle of Men on a Mission due to his size, the “special attraction” that got used to make rising stars look good. It wasn't until the early parts of 1995, that Men on a Mission started to team again on a regular basis.

One night after another loss, Mabel and Mo attacked the Smoking Gunns in a fit of anger, then apologized for it later on. When they asked the Gunns to come to the ring to let them apologize, Men on a Mission attacked them once again and then beat up Oscar, turning the duo heel and dropping their rapping manager.

After a short feud with the Smoking Gunns, Mabel won the 1995 King of the Ring tournament. He became King Mabel with his trusty sidekick being dubbed "**Sir Mo**", wrestling royalty. When Mabel became king, the focus shifted from the team to Mabel once more with Sir Mo acting more as a manager and less like an active competitor as Mabel challenged for the WWF Championship. One of the last notable appearances for Men on a Mission was at In Your House 2, where they beat Razor Ramon and Savio Vega. They were also the opponents in the match where the British Bulldog turned on partner Diesel. Mabel and Mo's last appearance in the WWF together was at the 1996 Royal Rumble, where Mo accompanied Mabel at ringside, while he participated in the match, until he was eliminated by Yokozuna. Afterwards, they left the WWF.

While still under contact by the WWF, Mo worked under his real name in World Championship Wrestling on March 25, 1995, as a jobber teaming with Barry Houston as they lost to Bunkhouse Buck and Dick Slater on *WCW Saturday Night*.

Mo returned to the WWF for one night only as **Buzz** on September 6, 1997, beating a jobber at a house show in Nashville, Tennessee.

On the August 19 episode of *SmackDown*, Lyons and her tag partner were removed from the tag team tournament due to an injury to Stark. On September 13 at the *NXT 2.0 One Year Anniversary Show*, Lyons and Stark defeated Arianna Grace and Kiana James. On the November 8 episode of *NXT*, Lyons and Stark failed to capture the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships from Kayden Carter and Katana Chance, and Lyons was taken out by Stark after the match. Lyons lost to Stark on the December 20 episode of *NXT* and was injured by Blair Davenport on the January 24, 2023 episode of *NXT*.

Lyons returned to *NXT* on the December 5 episode, attacking Davenport.

Princess Victoria

In 1984, Victoria debuted in the World Wrestling Federation alongside Velvet McIntyre, where they were immediately recognized as holding the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship. The duo defended the championships against the team of Wendi Richter and Peggy Lee multiple times, including a match on April 23, 1984 in Madison Square Garden. On September 1, 1984, she suffered a career-ending neck injury defending the tag team titles in Philadelphia. The title she held was retired shortly thereafter. Desiree Petersen later replaced Victoria when she was let go from the WWF in 1984.

While in the WWF, she also wrestled in singles matches as a challenger against WWF Women's Champion The Fabulous Moolah.
Reno Riggins

Riggins made his World Wrestling Federation (WWF) debut in March 1988, spending several years as an enhancement talent, competing against many of the top heels of the time. He also appeared in a dark match losing to Rip Rogers at WCW's Halloween Havoc in October 1990. In early 1993, he returned to the WWF and frequently appeared as an enhancement talent (now as a heel putting over numerous faces) on *Monday Night Raw* until deciding to retire in early 1995.
Raquel Diaz

Diaz's *NXT* television debut took place on the July 18, 2012 episode, under the character of an "ultra diva" on an "exfoliating ugliness tour", and defeated Paige in a singles match. As part of her character, she began drawing "L"s on the foreheads of other Divas after defeating them. On September 27, 2012, it was reported that Diaz had requested and been granted a release from her developmental contract.

In September 2013, Diaz returned to WWE. On April 30, 2014, it was reported that WWE had released Diaz, with her failing to appear on television during her second run with the company.
Ray Rougeau

In February 1986, Raymond and his brother Jacques joined the World Wrestling Federation, debuting during a tour of Australia. During their first year with the company, they faced and defeated such duos as The Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart), The Moondogs, Jimmy Jack and Dory Funk, Jr., and The Dream Team (Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake).

Although they lost their match at WrestleMania III in 1987 to Valentine and Beefcake, they briefly upset The Hart Foundation for the WWF Tag Team Championship on August 10 of that year. The decision was reversed to a disqualification and the championship returned, since the challengers initially won after using Jimmy Hart's megaphone as a weapon.

After two years in the Federation, The Fabulous Rougeaus (Jacques and Raymond) turned heel when they participated in an angle in which the Canadian brothers were announced as "From Canada, but soon to relocate to the United States", and had an intentionally annoying entrance theme in which they sang (partly in French) about being "*All-American Boys*" as well as now having Jimmy Hart as their manager (The Rougeaus were also briefly billed as being from Memphis, Jimmy Hart's home city). They also waved tiny American flags, infuriating fans, who questioned their sincerity, and humorously attempted to start "USA!" chants, which led to further negative fan "heat". They feuded with The Killer Bees, The Hart Foundation (who had turned face in between), The Bushwhackers and The Rockers during their heel run.

Raymond went into semi-retirement three months after SummerSlam in 1989. His last match in the WWF was at the Royal Rumble in 1990, which the Rougeau Brothers lost to The Bushwhackers.

In late 1992, Rougeau replaced Edouard Carpentier as the play-by-play commentator for the French syndicated WWF programming. He commentated alongside Jean Brassard from 1994-1999, then for a short period with Philippe Hartman from 2000-2002.

As his brother was still an active competitor as one half of The Quebecers alongside Pierre, Pierre turned and started attacking Jacques. Raymond left the commentary table and ran to the ring to save his brother. Rougeau later accompanied Jacques in his first retirement match in the WWF, held in Montreal.

Rougeau came out of retirement in August 8, 1996 to face Owen Hart in a boxing match at during a WWF house show, despite not being active as a competitor for years.

Rougeau came out of retirement again in March 1998, when he teamed with Jacques and Carl Ouellet to defeat Adam Copeland, Shawn Stasiak and Tom Brandi in a dark match for *WWF Shotgun Saturday Night*.

Rougeau left the WWF in early 2002 when it stopped producing French editions of its programming.

In May 2017, it was announced that Rougeau would return to WWE as a French language commentator.
Nigel McGuinness

On the September 11, 2005 episode of *Sunday Night Heat*, McGuinness would wrestle Danny Basham, losing after Basham hit an inverted DDT.

On December 15, 2016, WWE announced that McGuinness had signed with the company as a commentator. McGuinness made his commentary debut at the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament on 14 and 15 January 2017, alongside Michael Cole. McGuinness became a colour commentator for *NXT* on the February 8 episode, establishing himself as a "heel sympathizer". On September 4, McGuinness joined the *205 Live* and *Main Event* commentary teams. On May 28, 2020, it was reported McGuinness had been put on hiatus due to the pandemic. He returned on the September 17 episode of *NXT UK* alongside Andy Shepherd, and the following night on *205 Live* alongside Vic Joseph.

McGuinness was released by WWE on October 7, 2022.

NWO 2000

### Members

Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Bret Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner, Ron Harris, Don Harris

### Managers

Midajah, Tylene Buck, April Hunter, Pamela Paulshock

In late December 1999, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Jeff Jarrett, and Bret Hart reformed the nWo in World Championship Wrestling, this time with the colors black and silver. Jeff Jarrett was often accompanied by the nWo girls including Midajah and Tylene Buck. Hall, Nash and Jarrett interfered on Hart's behalf in his match with Goldberg, causing Hart to win the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship. After Goldberg accidentally injured himself breaking the nWo's limousine windshield, Sid Vicious, Chris Benoit and Terry Funk were left to feud with the nWo. Scott Steiner returned and joined the group after attacking Vicious. He later would be accompanied by Midajah to the ring. The Harris Brothers acted as the nWo's bodyguards before joining the group themselves. As nWo members, The Harris brothers would become WCW Tag Team Champions twice. Hart was forced to vacate the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and went on hiatus from WCW in mid January due to an injury suffered in a match with Goldberg at WCW Starrcade 1999. At the following pay-per view Souled Out, Nash defeated Funk to become WCW commissioner, but his reign was cut short after he suffered a broken ankle and had to withdraw from WCW for a while. Jarrett won a title shot facing new WCW World Heavyweight Champion Sid Vicious at SuperBrawl 2000. However, Jarrett also feuded with fellow nWo member Scott Hall after Hall attempted to defeat Vicious and win the title himself. The match at Superbrawl was changed to a triple threat match between Hall, Jarrett and Vicious. Vicious won the match and Hall left WCW for good. Jarrett faced Vicious for the title again at Uncensored but lost. With the return of Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo in April, the nWo completely dismantled and Jarrett, Steiner and the Harris brothers joined The New Blood while the returning Nash joined The Millionaire's Club.

Peaches

Peaches debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in the early 1990's alongside her husband, The Sandman. In 1994, while temporarily blinded following a match, The Sandman inadvertently struck his wife. When The Sandman recovered and saw his tag team partner Tommy Cairo assisting Peaches to her feet, he attacked Cairo. The Sandman subsequently became estranged from his wife, and Peaches became the valet of Cairo. Cairo and Peaches faced The Sandman and Woman in an intergender "Singapore Caning" match on May 14. After the match, The Sandman and Woman attacked Cairo and Peaches.

In late 1994, The Sandman was once again blinded after a lit cigarette was pushed into his eye during an "I Quit" match with Tommy Dreamer. The Sandman subsequently claimed that he would have to retire as a result, with Woman abandoning him as a result. During The Sandman's retirement ceremony at November to Remember, Peaches attempted to reconcile with him, but was caned by the returning Woman. Woman threatened The Sandman, drawing Dreamer to the ring, at which point The Sandman revealed that he was not in fact blinded and attacked Dreamer.

Peaches, now using her real name, returned to ECW in 1996 during The Sandman's feud with Raven. In the course of the feud, Raven attempted to play mind games with The Sandman by brainwashing Peaches and their son Tyler to become part of his entourage, Raven's Nest. At Hardcore Heaven on June 22, 1996, Raven revealed that Tyler had also joined his side. Peaches and Tyler assisted Raven in his matches against The Sandman and his new valet, Missy Hyatt. The family reconciled in 1997 after Raven turned on Peaches and Tyler, and The Sandman came to their rescue.

She returned to ECW once more in 2000, assisting The Sandman in his feud with The Network. In the course of the feud, Rhino gored her through a table at Living Dangerously, piledrove her through a table at Hardcore Heaven and thrust her head into a toilet at Heat Wave. Peaches left ECW once more upon the cessation of the feud in mid-2000.
Pepper Gomez

In the early 1960's, Gomez began competing for the American Wrestling Association. He began a heated feud with Killer Kowalski after Kowalski delivered a knee drop to his throat. The feud saw Kowalski unable to apply his signature stomach claw to Gomez' muscular stomach.

Gomez won the vacant AWA United States Heavyweight Championship in July 1962, losing the championship to Ray Stevens in February 1963. Gomez also held the AWA World Tag Team Championship on three occasions between 1963 and 1968.

On May 6, 2004, Gomez passed away.
