Episode Description
Season 6 - Episode #48: Paul Burchill The Pirate
In 2006, WWE decided to try and capitalize on the popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean and they made newcomer Paul Burchill start a pirate gimmick after his split with William Regal. They would have a very interesting feud involving cross-dressing and more. Then Vince killed the gimmick but not for the reasons you would expect.
