YMMV / The Nasty Boys

Go To

  • Heartwarming Moments: Why you should not review a puff children's show piece (The Agony Booth made this mistake with Star Trek, too): WrestleCrap inducted a WCW segment where the Nasty Boys invaded a science center, and shortly after the induction went up, a fan wrote in to tell a story about his experience with the Nasties when they visited a children's hospital, which RD Reynolds ultimately added to the induction. See the whole thing here: turns out Knobbs and Saggs have a soft spot for kids.
  • Moment of Awesome: Their WCW brawls in 1994 with Cactus Jack, Maxx Payne and Kevin Sullivan are fan favorite matches to this day.
  • Narm: Their promos were so shouty and over-the-top they tended to lapse into self-parody.
  • Never Live It Down: Brian Knobbs literally falling out of WCW in his final appearance for the promotion, where he was dumped off of a balcony and never seen again.
  • Seasonal Rot: Their TNA run was very poorly received, since Knobbs and Saggs were significantly broken down by then, to the point that Saggs couldn't even do a promo without getting winded.
  • Squick: The "Pit Stop" which is basically one of the Boys grabbing a hapless opponent's face and shoving it into the other's sweaty armpit. Classy! It was pretty much the precursor to Rikishi's Stinkface, which, like Rikishi in general, got far more over than anyone could have anticipated.
