not a question but


You know what I miss? When wrestlers were hailed as "from parts unknown"


I know it's silly now but it's something I wish that would come back.


Who was the last wrestler to use that?

That is clearly a question even though you specified in the e-mail's subject that it wasn't.  Now I don't believe in nothing no more.

Anyway, I'm assuming Who would be the last guy.

  1. Brutus Beefcake was from parts unknown when he was "The man with no name" in WCW that was a good while after the Ultimate Warrior/Papa Shango era.

  2. Isn't Fandango from Parts Unknown

  3. Who wasn't from "Parts Unknown". He was from "Who knows Where?" which I believe is a neighboring county.

  4. YES!!! I had a gig the other night and when the host asked me what I wanted for my introduction, I told him to just say, "This next comic hails from Parts Unknown." I wasn't expecting anyone to get the reference, but I was cracking up as I took the stage.

  5. You're a comic? Any video online?

    ReplyDelete
  6. "Parts Unknown" suggests characters. WWE doesn't have any.

  7. Where is Kane supposed to be from? Undertaker is from death valley ca (good one Vince!) but kane was separated from him.

  8. "Scott's Blog of Doom: The Official Blog of Parts Unknown"

  9. I imagine a young Kane and Paul Bearer hauling ass in a U-Haul from Death Valley to Parts Unknown, with a burning funeral parlor in the background. Is Parts Unknown even on a map? Maybe in one of those "Area 51" type spots on Google Maps. Where there's no street view or satellite view available.

  10. There's only one man who can be from wherever he darn well pleases

  11. And is there just one parts unknown or are there several? Is it even in America? Is ultimate warrior from the same parts unknown as giant gonzalez? Does every country have one? Do they assign social security numbers? Where do they mail the check to? Wrestling geography is confusing.

  12. I support this.

    Yeah, I miss that. It made the character seem mysterious, like he just shows up to hurt people and nobody knows who he is or where he comes from.

  14. Ultimate Warrior is the mayor of Parts Unknown.

    ReplyDelete
  15. No. He lives in a ball room in Queens.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I believe Giant Gonzalez came from Parts Unknown, Brazil. The Ultimate Warrior came from Parts Unknown, Arizona. I believe there are several Parts Unknowns in Arizona. Just ask someone from Arizona.

  17. WWE could really use some larger than life characters.

    ReplyDelete
  18. It's like Springfield; one in most every state.

    ReplyDelete
  19. So I assume gay marriage isn't legalized there.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm guessing that was a bad Who's on First joke?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Zach Gowen was from Parts Ungrown

    sorry

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks for asking, I don't have any full sets up, but I made this to promote myself (and there is a Daniel Bryan shout-out in it, wrestling fans):

    My problem right now is I'm also a teacher, so I have to be careful about posting some of my jokes online.

  23. I miss the shitty old WCW introductions like "From the North Woods", "the Diamond Mine," or my personal favorite, "from a little town in France."

    Though I will confess, "from the Darkside" was always Badass with a Capital B.

    ReplyDelete
  24. As a comedian you should probably stick some jokes in your promotional video! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  25. "every girls fantasy"
    "every mans nightmare"
    "wcw special forces"

    ReplyDelete
  26. Per wwe.com, for what it's worth Doink apparently is from Parts Unknown.


    Hack Myers will always win with 'The Last House on the Left'.

    ReplyDelete
  27. If I recall correctly, Who was billed as being from "Who Knows Where"

    ReplyDelete
  28. ...a lesson learned in time.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Papa Shango was from there too...he might have been the last.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Damien Demento: from "the outer reaches of your mind". Brutus Beefcake was from Parts Unknown until about 1985 when he packed up everything he owned in a single box and left for SanFrancisco to live out his dream of being a barber....or was it a booty man?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Best hometown ever:
    From the entirety of all mortal existence via Bethlehem, PA

    ReplyDelete
  32. It was funny when they would also say "weight unknown" and Gorilla Monsoon would say "I understand the parts unknown but why can't they just put him on a scale?"

    ReplyDelete
  33. Can't believe I forgot this one...the last wrestler to be billed from Parts Unknown (and his weight and height were unknown too) was MATT CLASSIC!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAWpmJGQxBA

    ReplyDelete
  35. There you go. He moves to San Francisco and gets a title shot. My guess is that he got it by choosing the booty man job. "Live the dream, Beefer!".

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh it grew, it just didn't grow back. It was removed when he was a kid. YOUR JOKE IS INCORRECT.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Jim Neidhart played baseball!?

    ReplyDelete
  38. "From WCW Special Forces..."

    ReplyDelete
  39. Satan, formerly WankerMay 6, 2013 at 1:41 AM

    Shyeah right... more like, from No Legsville.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Lest we forget, Brodus Clay is from Planet Funk.

    ReplyDelete
  41. maybe even larger than airport characters?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Well, Queering doesn't make Parts Unknown work.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm not actually from Parts Unknown, but according to the shirt I got from Barbershop Window, I did attend Parts Unknown University.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Gangrel was from The Other Side of Darkness and The Boogeyman was from The Bottomless Pit. They have to be suburbs of Parts Unknown.
