What’s the Deal?: Phantasio

  Here’s a gimmick that can’t go wrong. Let’s take this guy and dress him up like a mime and make him do magic tricks before he wrestles. We can even have him come down to the ring wearing a mask. Then we’ll have him take the mask off, and he’ll have face paint on that looks just like the mask. Brilliant! How could this not work? Phantasio would go on to have only two matches in the WWF. The first one was a good old fashion slobberknocker with Tony DeVito and second one was a house show against Rad Radford.

  How bummed out must of that kid been that got the mask. The whole time he is hoping Bret Hart will come out and gives him his pink shades, but instead he gets a Phantasio mask. The sad thing is, I don’t want to think about how much I’d be willing to pay to get a hold of the mask. I really don’t know what Vince was thinking when he came up/approved the idea for Phantasio, but I guess that he is the same guy that thought it was a good idea to put “The American Dream” in polka dots.
