Hurricane Helms posts about potential alternate gimmick he almost had in WWE

By Sunil Joseph Modified 02 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Hurricane Helms is a former Cruiserweight Champion Hurricane Helms recently took to Twitter to ponder what it would've been like to use his WCW gimmick in WWE. Although he wasn't a main event superstar, Helms' superhero gimmick was one of the most beloved characters in WWE. The character had a layer of comedy to it, and every time he appeared on-screen, he would receive a decent pop from the audience. Although the former Cruiserweight Champion is best known for his Hurricane Helms gimmick, there is another one called Sugar Shane. He portrayed the character during a brief stint with World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He even defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship and was the reigning Cruiserweight Champion when WWE bought out the promotion. Recently, Hurricane Helms posted on Twitter what it would be like if he were allowed to use his Sugar Shane gimmick in WWE: "Make no mistake, I love being The Hurricane, but sometimes I do wonder “What if?” What if, I were allowed to be Sugar Shane in WWE? Woulda been interesting I think," he wrote.
