WWE History Vol. 18: Best Christmas Moments

#1 Santa Claus's evil twin becomes a WWE Superstar

You might recognize Xanta Claus--Santa's evil brother from the South Pole--as one of the ECW Originals, the Chair Swinging Freak Balls Mahoney.

Way back at WWE In Your House 5: Season's Beatings, we got our first look at the short lived WWE superstar Xanta Claus.

If you'll notice from his color scheme, he's the opposite of Santa Claus in every way. Whereas Santa wears red and white, Xanta wears red and black. His beard is likewise black instead of white, and of course, this being pro wrestling, he hailed from the South Pole rather than the North Pole.

The evil twin brother of Santa also had the habit of taking presents rather than giving them. He became a short lived heel and ally of Ted DiBiase during WWE's New Generation era. The gimmick didn't last long, and Xanta Claus was soon confined to the scrap heap of history.

It wasn't all bad for Xanta Claus, however. He would go on to great success as Balls Mahoney in ECW and later, WWE.

There you have it; Ten of the best WWE Christmas moments. We hope you have a happy holiday, and thanks for reading!
