announcer Jim Ross introduced Bognar as "Razor Ramon" and Glenn Jacobs as "Diesel" as part of a storyline mocking the departure of former employees Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, who had left for WCW. The storyline was also an attempt to turn Ross into a heel. However, the Jim Ross heel turn proved unpopular and was dropped almost immediately. The fake Razor Ramon and Diesel storyline also proved unpopular with the fans. On the October 20 episode of Superstars, Fake Razor defeated Bob Holly. On October 21, he scored an upset victory over Marc Mero on Monday Night Raw. On the November 3 episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling, Bognar and Fake Diesel defeated Barry Horowitz and Aldo Montoya. At Survivor Series (1996), Bognar teamed with Faarooq, Vader, and the second Diesel to compete in a four-on-four Survivor Series tag team elimination match against Flash Funk, Jimmy Snuka, Savio Vega, and Yokozuna that ended in a no contest. Bognar would also suffer losses to the likes of Savio Vega and Bret Hart. Bognar and Fake Diesel also defeated The Godwinns on an episode of Raw in January 1997. On January 11, he wrestled in the main event of the second episode of WWF Shotgun Saturday Night as he lost to Rocky Maivia. Despite receiving a WWF Tag Team Championship match against Owen Hart and The British Bulldog at the In Your House 12: It's Time pay-per-view (which they lost), the gimmick's television lifespan lasted only until the 1997 Royal Rumble. Bognar was the first one eliminated in the Royal Rumble match, when he was eliminated by Ahmed Johnson. Jacobs, meanwhile, was the last wrestler legally eliminated from the Royal Rumble match. Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (1997) In March 1997 both Diesel and Ramon wrestled in Mexico for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración in tag team matches with Fuerza Guerrera and Pentagón against El Canek, Latin Lover and Cibernético. They spent a couple of months there. United States Wrestling Association (1997) Immediately after the 1997 Royal Rumble both Jacobs and Bognar were sent to the United States Wrestling Association as part of a talent exchange program. Initially the two continued their partnership, but would later come to blows. Jacobs lost a "loser leaves town" match to Bognar on June 24 in Louisville, KY, but would return a short time later under a mask as Doomsday. Jacobs was further repackaged later that year
