10 Most Epic Debuts At WWE PPVs

Rocky Maivia – Survivor Series 1996

Okay, therefore it's going to are one amongst the goofiest gimmicks to debut on PPV, however the performance was conjointly one amongst the foremost spectacular.

Hyped because the company’s first-ever third-generation expert, Rocky Maivia—a fusion of his father’s and grandfather’s ring names—wrestled his 1st match at the 1996 Survivor Series during a ancient four-on-four elimination tag match.

Teaming with The Stalker, brandy Mero and Jake “the Snake” Roberts, Rocky was facing Crush, Hun Lawler, Goldust and Hunter William Randolph Hearst Helmsley. With the groups equally matched at 3 vs. three, a flurry of eliminations in 2 short minutes saw the “Blue Chipper” facing a handicap state of affairs against Goldust and Crush.

Having antecedently showcased his strenuosity, Rocky then showed his resilience as he endured the 2-on-1 odds. He rallied to eliminate Crush with a flying crossbody from up high, before allotting a shoulderbreaker to Goldust for the 1-2-3.

Few Superstars will claim to own been the only real survivor at Survivor Series, as well as to own done it in their 1st ever match. And even fewer still will rock that Pineapple cut like Maivia did (no pun intended).
