* {{Jobber}}: This is his image, to the point that, in mid-1999, [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson the Rock]] once [[WhoWritesThisCrap compared]] fighting [[Wrestling/{{DGenerationX}} Billy Gunn]] (who was getting pushed but wasn't over) to fighting [[Characters/WWEAttitude Gangrel]] (who wasn't getting pushed but could have been a big name under the right circumstances) and to fighting the Brawler.

* CommutingOnABus: Shows up on TV in one gimmick or another every few years or so. He was the Doink who [[Wrestling/ThreeMB Heath Slater]] defeated on the July 2, 2012 ''Raw.''

* BashBrothers: With Wrestling/BarryHorowitz, "Iron" Mike Sharpe
