Line 90:
== Pro Wrestling ==
* [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] tag team Deuce 'n Domino were a pair of '50s greaser throwbacks complete with pompadours, leather jackets, a valet who dresses in a poodle skirt (albeit ''[[Fan Service|much]]'' [[Stripperiffic|shorter]] than actual ones of the period) and rollerskates, an entrance that involves them driving out in a classic convertible, and a theme song that wouldn't be out of place on the ''[[Grease]]'' soundtrack. This got a brief subversion from play-by-play commentator Michael Cole, where he mentioned that they admitted in private with him that they realize it's not the '50s, but they like the look.
** They may have been prescient when it comes to rollerskates, though. Roller derby is currently making a comeback in large to medium-sized American cities, complete with the "retro" pre-1990s skate style.
* Long before Deuce 'n Domino, [[WCW]] had The Disco Inferno, whose gimmick was [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. In his later years, in an attempt to be more current, he changed his name to Disqo. That didn't work very well.
