One of the most popular comedy acts in WWE history was Hurricane Helms. Helms was a mainstay of WWE in the early 2000s and often found himself surrounded by partners.
Helms aligned himself with Molly Holly (AKA Mighty Molly) and Rosey (AKA Matt Anoa’i) during his time in WWE but now he has revealed another WWE star he wanted to be his partner. On Twitter, Hurricane Helms revealed that he pitched for Mike Awesome to be part of his crew. Here is the tweet:
I once pitched for Mike Awesome to be a member of The Hurri-League. My idea was that Iād constantly refer to him as Captain Awesome, which would drive him crazy until he eventually either went along with it or just completely snapped. šš¤·š»āāļø pic.twitter.com/aFW23MfsiD
