10 of the most bizarre WWE Superstars

#7. Xanta Claus

Xanta Claus. He's the evil Santa Claus. He wears black and red instead of white and red. Get it?

Yes, Virginia, there WAS a Xanta Claus in WWE.

You might recognize Xanta Claus from his much later, and far more successful, time as Balls Mahoney, an ECW original. The chair swinging freak would first be assigned the Xanta Claus gimmick by the WWE in 1995.

During an In Your House--WWE's generic name for all pay per views which weren't Wrestlemania, SummerSlam, or Survivor Series--Savio Vega and "Santa Claus" were handing out presents to young fans at ringside. Then the Million Dollar Man's music hit, and he claimed that everyone had a price, even Santa Claus.

At that point, 'Santa' attacked Savio Vega and Ted Dibiase revealed that he was Xanta Claus, Santa's evil twin brother who lived at the South Pole and stole presents rather than gave them.

Xanta Claus would sort of feud with Vega before being phased off of WWE television. It should be noted that this bizarre gimmick was never meant to last past the holiday season.
