#8 Kurrgan the Interrogator

You've probably seen Kurggan on your screen before, but not in a WWE ring.

French actor Robert Maillet hasn't wrestled in many years, but at one point he was a major presence during the Attitude Era.

As part of Jackyl's 'Truth Commission' stable, he portrayed a neo-militant enforcer who was meant to evoke images of brutal dictatorial regimes. His gimmick as 'interrogator' comes from this time as well.

Maillet wrestled for the WWE while also pursuing an acting career. Most of his roles were the big thug who the main protagonist has to overcome through guile and bravery.

Eventually, Jackyl would leave WWE for ECW, and Kurggan would be repackaged into the Oddities stable along with the Insane Clown Posse. His dancing antics actually seemed to endear him to the WWE Universe, but he would leave the company to pursue acting full time.

Why no one remembers him: His WWE career was quite brief and involved no interesting feuds or titles. Most people today know him from his roles in the Robert Downey Junior Sherlock Holmes or the 300 film and have no idea he used to wrestle.
