I'm torn between Gilberg and the Renegade.

Oh and there was also fake Hall and Nash.

Renegade, hands down. Because the others were at least parodies, the Renegade was supposed to be taken seriously.

Lenny Lane was intended to be a cruel parody of Chris Jericho in order to keep him WCW, right? I always thought they used Lenny as a way to say, "Hey Chris, imagine what we'll make him do when you leave... people can't tell you two apart, Chris... just imagine what we'll make him do... everything gets scrapped if you stay, Chris..."

Seriously though, I've always hate it when WWE makes parodies out of midgets. Most notably, I remember the Mini Bret Hart that DX brought out the night after the Screwjob. But, around that same time they had quite a "Mini" Division going centered around Max Mini (ringing any bells yet?). In this division I can remember at least a Mini Vader and a Mini Mankind, there were probably more... just terrible...

EXACTLY who I thought of when I read the title. AWFUL, stupid, pointless, tasteless, and not EVER funny. RUINED the credibility of the Cruiserweight title (Medusa holding it was bad enough; then you go and put it on this Ferrera jerk? X( Reason #587 why I HATE Russo & Ferrera).

I always thought Gilberg was the BEST parody wrestler; he was perfect!

Yes! The sad thing about it is that these guys were very talented and fun to watch. The division began semi seriously until the parodies came about.

See, I think this whole angle was misunderstood. I thought it was a brilliant way for heel Jim Ross to get some heat. I thought they executed it well, too. Ross's promo had the place in an uproar! The problem, i think, was that they didn't project the plan out very far. Jim Ross and his imposters never got a feud with any talent, Ross was against the fans leaving Fake Razor and Fake Diesel with nothing to do but cool off.
