Voodoo Killed the Soccer Fans

Of all the foolish gimmicks that the WWF has had over the years (Red Rooster, Repo Man, Warlord, I'm sure I'm missing some), I feel without question the all-time worst was Papa Shango. He apparently was a witchcraft practitioner who decided to change careers overnight and become a pro wrestler. Well that career didn't take, so he's back to witchcraft and his appearance at a soccer match in the Congo (it will always be Zaire to me) today had some unintended consequences...as in a frantic deadly riot. Soccer fans...they never cease to make asses of themselves, and we thank them for that.

It should be noted that Papa Shango later found fame and fortune as the conductor of the Ho Train.
