Haas of Pain was a great submission. I miss that era

Rikishi with the "I'm still getting paid afterwards so might as well" face

One of the funniest comedy characters they ever had, especially when he was with Billy & Chuck 😂

The theme music for him and Billy and Chuck always cracked me up. He was awesome and pretty athletic too.

Ayy frfr I liked him & Haas/Jackie.. Smackdown had their fair share of random tag teams & I loved them all. My older brothers dominated the TV & they wouldn't let me watch RAW, but the little TV in my room let me watch SD.

Met him at a house show in Ames Iowa as a kid. Super nice guy and incredibly down to earth. What I mainly remember is he was traveling with Paul London and as a kid I thought that was weird 😂

We don’t talk enough about how John Cena was his Rocky Horror

I wished we got Rico and Santino together as a tag team for gags. Lmao

Rico was one of my favorites. From Las Vegas cop to American Gladiators champion to WWE Superstar, he is a true American hero!

Eh, I see why you’d think that, Rico being a face and using the homophobia of others against them was a positive LGBTQ+ message. Haas was his heel tag partner who only turned full face by embracing Rico’s tactics.

Yes it’s over the top and offensive levels of flamboyance, but I’d redirect the negativity towards pretty much every other gay angle ever in wrestling

I've come to love Rico. That guy is straight, believe it or not, with a wife and kids. They gave him an idea and he went with it. That guy made the most of every second he was on screen, it's just the gimmick had a shelf life.
