Memorable (but not necessarily good) wrestlers

Any particular wrestlers come to your mind? I remember Giant Gonzalez. For those who don't know him he was Undertaker's 3rd Wrestlemania "victim". He was most remembered for being the tallest wrestler (7'8") in WWE (and probably world) history. However, he was also potentially the crappiest. Why? Few moves, bad selling (the worst in fact), and above all else the bigfoot bodysuit (inflatable muscles with attached/painted on fake bodyhair)! (Sarcasm)But look at how tall he is!(/Sarcasm)

Yeah, I remember good old Giant Gonzalez. Definitely one of the worst, but Wrestlemania IX (his defeat by the Undertaker and the end of his career too place here) was kind of a joke to begin with, so he was at least entertainingly bad. Papa Shango was also at that event... Eh. Gotta love the early nineties, right before the Attitude era, where the WWE was willing to try anything for ratings.

I think the most hilarious (unintentionally, of course) thing I ever saw in WWE was when this Yeti creature came running out and humped one of the wrestlers. I can't even remember the circumstances. I just remember a Yeti and there being some dry-humping. Another memorable character was Rikishi, though he wasn't so much bad (he was actually really good, being a Fatu and all). Even so, his entire butt-attack gimmick was typically lowbrow of the WWE.

EDIT: I found the Yeti. Enjoy.

That ain't no yeti. That's a pedo-mummy.

^Man, pretty much anything Mr. Fuji pulled out of his ass was awful. Which was actually sort of awesome, because it was the kind of awful that would eventually be hilarious.

Also, remember Lex Luger's "Narcissus/The Narcissist" gimmick, and how they built that **** up to be srs ****? Oh Jesus.

Well, I mean, despite his legacy, Yokozuna wasn't 100% awesome. After all, he did participate in one of the least impressive matches at the famously ****ty Wrestlemania IX.

I loved when the Brooklyn Brawler turned heel in New York and turned into the Boston Brawler! That was classic!

I remember that. I also remember that Heidenreich squashed him about 5 seconds later.
