** ''The Hurricane''. A wrestling superhero is a ''hard'' sell to fans (Just look at the reception for Wrestling/NikkiAsh) but Helms turned a gimmick that would have killed most careers into a corny but quite fondly remembered character ''because'' it was so goofy.

* NightmareFuel: His old finishing move the vertebreaker. It's quite possibly ''the'' most dangerous move in all of wrestling as it involves him dropping his opponent on their neck. If they're even slightly late getting they're head into position it could result in their death. Unsurprisingly, and quite rightly, the WWE forbid him from ever using it.

* [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]]: This line from the Hurricane (w[=/=][[Wrestling/MollyHolly Mighty Molly]]) before his match with Wrestling/{{Kane}} on the October 11, 2001 ''[=SmackDown!=]''.
-->'''The Hurricane''': ''Literature/CitizenKane! I think you're making a mistake with your life. Think about it: you've got a cool costume, you got a cool mask, you're seven feet tall, and you don't fight crime - WASSUPWITDAT? I think you would be a great addition to the [=Hurrileague=], and together with the Hurricane and Mighty Molly...we would be the [=superest=] super team that ever lived?

* FridgeLogic: One of his ECW storylines was that Paul Burchill was trying to prove that Helms was the Hurricane. Problem was, WWE had been billing him since his return (and for part of this storyline) as Hurricane '''Helms'''. Midway through, someone caught on and the last name was quickly dropped.
