Ah, the late 80's. Wrestling has always been a little bit slow to take things from mainstream society, so it came as a shock to no one when Art Barr showed up in WCW in 1990 doing a ripoff of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice character from 1988. This is not me placing blame on Barr, as he had been doing the gimmick on the indy circuit for a couple years. This is just me pointing out that a major wrestling promotion thought it would be a great idea to base a wrestler off of a character from a movie that was a couple years old and not really socially relevant. Anywho, Art Barr was awesome and made the best of a bad situation and damn near made it work. Little kids dug the character. However, Art eventually was sent packing and went to Mexico where he had a bunch of awesome matches and died in his sleep. Here's a couple of The Juicer's squash matches. Enjoy!

i can't be the only one creeped out by this, right?
human beings, who are almost unique in their ability to learn from the experiences of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

On the scale of “Creepy Shit Art Barr Did” this rates as like a 2.

I have to admit I was a HUGE Juicer fan when he first appeared in WCW, and always wondered why he never got a bigger push. Yeah, this is one of those things where something you fondly remember as a kid should not be revisited as an adult.

Art should have been a bigger star than Eddy. If only he didn’t have a thing for young chicks and drugs.
