One of the main hooks for the Survivor Series 1990 show was what creature would emerge from a giant egg that was placed upon the stage.

Teasing its audience for the bulk of the show, fans were expecting something significant to emerge from the egg that had been appearing at WWE events for months.

Incredibly, it was an oversized turkey that appeared out of the egg and danced in the ring with announcer, Gene Okerlund, as fans in the arena loudly booed the display.

The Gobbledygooker was supposedly a female character that was presumably a precursor to the modern day Diva.

Under the costume, incredibly, was respected Mexican wrestler, Hector Guerrero, elder brother to WWE Hall of Famer, Eddie Guerrero.

So successful was the gimmick, that it lasted for few more pre-taped promos before disappearing from television leaving the WWE audience dumbstruck at what the character was meant to be.
