The Great Pimps of Wrestling

Over the years in pop culture pimps have become more and more common. They have appeared in movies, televison, and books. They have gone on to be succseful rappers and buisnessmen in the entertainment industry. In fact each year there is an awards ceremony to name the best pimp in the country. I am sure it's not long until the pimp look and style starts branching out to other aspects of our society.

So what is it about pimps that make them so popular?

1. They have a lot of girls who pretty much have to do what they are told .

2. Said girls bring him money all the time, so he really doesn't have to work much (except to keep his bitches in line!)

3. They KNOW style.

Now lets look at some of the great pimps who have been involved with wrestling.

The Doctor of Style Slick

Slick was kinda a quiet pimp. Though it was insinuated from time to time he was a pimp, he kept it low key and denied it. You never saw him come to the ring with women, and you never saw him conduct his business. I'm sure if the Doctor of Style had made it to the Attitude era he would have been more like the man below.

The Godfather

The Godfather was the first TRUE pimp in the WWE. He didn't hide the fact. He even let the crowd know "Pimpin' Ain't Easy!" and in fact on several occasions invited his fans to come aboard the "Hoe Train!". He used to bring anywhere from 1 to 15 of his women with him to the ring. You know his hoes really respected him because you rarely ever saw him have to keep them in line. The Godfather was such a great pimp, Ice-T even wrote a rap song for him explaining how "Pimpin' Ain't Pimpin' Ain't Easy Man". Ice-T really let us know that pimpin' ain't easy, because that line got repeated in the song about 900 times. But it must have been hard being the only pimp in the WWE because soon the Godfather needed to bring in a partner.

D-Lo Brown

D-Lo wasn't really much of a pimp. In fact not long after their partnership began I believe the Godfather's business fell apart. But you gotta admit, D-Lo had the fashion sense to be a pimp. Wait? Is that D-Lo in the pic above or that dude that sings that Mambo #5 song?

Vince McMahon

There is one more pimp in the WWE who rarely gets any notice. Owner Vince McMahon. He takes pimpin' to the next level! He'll pimp out ANYTHING not just women. He pimps out his daughter's chest, Ric Flair's legal troubles, Brian Pillman's widow, and Eddie Guerrero's death just to name a few. You name it, and he'll exploit it for money! For this reason alone, I believe Vincent Kennedy McMahon is the greatest pimp in wrestling.

I don't think anyone will ever top Vince as the greatest pimp in wrestling...although I know someone who might have a shot.
