PWInsider has now revealed the identity of Gobbledy Gooker. The person who played the infamous character tonight was RAW Superstar, Drew Gulak.
Gobbledy Gooker and The Undertaker made their debuts on the same night, 30 years ago
R-Truth attempted to show a 'Phenom' tribute tonight and ended up botching it by showing footage of Gobbledy Gooker's debut. The Undertaker had made his debut at the 1990 Survivor Series pay-per-view, the same night that Gobbledy Gooker hatched out of an egg. It should be noted that Mexican wrestler Hector Guerrero played the part of Gobbledy Gooker during the debut.
Gooker's debut was met with a loud chorus of boos from the fans in attendance, who weren't impressed with the reveal after being teased with it for a long time. The character didn't do anything of note and soon disappeared off WWE TV. Gobbledy Gooker did make a return at WrestleMania 17 and appeared in the Gimmick Battle Royal.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
