(FOUR) TOO COOL’S THREE MAN DANCE
“Grandmaster Sexay” and “Scotty Too Hotty” were “Too Cool”, a pretty damn decent tag team in the late 90’s. They’d hook up with their friend Rikishi and the crowd would eat it up. The characters were silly and over the top hip hop stereotypes, but a lot of fun. I hate myself for admitting it, but I enjoyed their three man “Too Cool” dance back in the day. I watch it now and I cringe at it, but at the time it was one of the coolest things in wrestling. It’s cool now because of how lame and how bad it is. Yep, hipster-fried irony!
(THREE) BLUE MEANIE’S BLUE MEANIE DANCE
The fat guy in daisy duke shorts, a cut off belly shirt, and blue hair enters the visual of the crowd. The music pumps an obnoxious beat. The said blue haired fat guy proceeds to “raise the roof” and wiggle at the same time. It’s so simple that it’s brilliant. I don’t care what kind of mood you’re in or how bad a wrestling show is. When the Blue Meanie showed up in ECW and dropped his dance moves on us, we smiled. (Uncomfortably)
(TWO) ALEX WRIGHT’S WUNDERKIND TECHNO DANCE
Alex Wright’s dance is still cool. He was a really underrated wrestler who came onto the scene like three years too late. When the world was shifting towards cool bad guys, he was the clean cut babyface who old school fans would have loved. His gimmick was that he danced. His dance move was basically the same motion one makes when drying their backs off with a towel… only with “rhythm”!
(ONE) NORMAN SMILEY’S “BIG WIGGLE”
You can’t argue with me on this one. In the history of professional wrestling, Normal Smiley’s “Big Wiggle” dance is not only the best dance move of all time, but as smooth today as it was when he first blessed us with it. It’s raunchy and if done in a weird situation can come off a little creepy. I’m not a fan of grabbing an opponent and doing it, but the air or a desired “dance partner” works fine. Finally! The answer to the “invisible booty slapping motion”.
