Alternate Company Equivalent: Buzzkill was basically WCW's answer to the character Brad's brother Jesse James played in the WWF, Road Dogg. This was lampshaded during the backstage vignette setting up the character, where Brad asked Vince Russo when he'd get a title shot, and Vince replied, "When you get a personality like your brother!"

Captain Ersatz: Arachnaman was obviously meant to be Spider-Man, to the point the character was aborted early once Marvel Comics got wind of it and threatened to sue.

comment
Charlie Brown from Outta Town: He was actually involved in a subversion of this. After Tommy Rich lost a Loser Leaves Town match, a wrestler wearing a brown paper bag over his head appeared shortly afterwards, named "Mr. R". Everybody assumed that it was Rich, especially Ted DiBiase, the wrestler Rich was feuding against, until he unmasked Mr. R in a match and revealed him to be Armstrong.

comment
New-Age Retro Hippie: The difference between Buzzkill and the character it was ripping off, Brad's brother Road Dogg, was that Buzzkill was basically a hippie: acting constantly baked, wearing tie-dyed t-shirts, carrying signs and so on.
