In keeping with his ring name, D'Acquisto would carry a roadblock or a sawhorse to the ring.[2] Roadblock made his televised debut in WCW on the October 19, 1996 episode of Saturday Night by defeating Dale Wolfe, a replacement for D'Acquisto's originally scheduled opponent Randy Savage. After the match, Roadblock challenged Lex Luger to a match to take place two nights later on Monday Nitro, which Acquisto lost. He made his only pay-per-view appearance in WCW at World War 3 on November 24 by participating in the namesake battle royal for a future World Heavyweight Championship opportunity.
