When it comes to bizarre WWE superstars, the Gobbledy Gooker takes the cake.

The idea of a man wrestling in a giant turkey suit might seem odd to us in the modern era, but...actually, it was pretty much a head scratcher even back in 1990.

For months ahead of Survivor Series 1990, which the WWE was pushing as a Thanksgiving tradition, there was a gigantic egg seen at WWE events. Mean Gene indicated that the egg would hatch at Survivor Series, and many fans speculated that it would crack open to reveal a major star, such as Sting or Vader.

Instead, a man in a stuffed turkey suit broke out. Beneath the costume was Mexican wrestling legend Hector Guerrero, the older brother of Eddie Guerrero. In a painfully long segment, Gobbledy Gooker danced with Mean Gene while the audience stared in silent misery.

Gooker only made one other appearance, at Wrestlemania 17 during the gimmick battle royal, but a different wrestler was under the mask.
