During the Attitude Era, WWE would often put undersized wrestlers together in a tag team. One such team was "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher, and "Too Hot" Scott Taylor, known collectively as Two Much.

Brian Christopher was Jerry Lawler's son, but there was little warmth between the two of them. Lawler was often embarrassed by his son's antics. While Christopher was a very skilled wrestler--probably better than his father in the ring--he got into a great deal of trouble backstage and with law enforcement. Thus, Lawler insisted that his son break into the WWE on his own, with no help from Lawler or any acknowledgment of their real life relationship.

Two Much never really caused much sensation. They were the Jobber to the Stars tag team, wrestling a lot on television but rarely, if ever, winning. WWE believed they could do more with a different gimmick, and they were rebranded as wanna be 'hip hop' stars, Too Cool.

The gimmick was supposed to make them despised heels, but they were so funny in their execution that Too Cool became quite popular babyfaces. When Scotty performed his signature 'worm' maneuver, the fans would leap to their feet and spell out the word as he hopped around the ring.

Too Cool was so popular that the WWE even added Rikishi to the group to boost the latter's popularity. Seeing the three-man group dance after a victory is one of the fonder memories of Attitude Era fans.

However, it all came crashing down when Brian Christopher was busted for trying to bring drugs across the Canadian border. He was fired, and while Scotty too Hotty stuck around for several years he was never as compelling of a character on his own.

Too Cool was over for a time, but they are often forgotten when fans reminisce about the Attitude Era.

Why they were underrated: Too Cool had a comedy gimmick that played well as a filler or change of pace from more 'serious' acts like Stone Cold Steve Austin, but fans never took them seriously as contenders.
