For a character that debuted in 1988 but didn't actually wrestle in a match until WrestleMania XVII, and has only appeared in short skits exclusively on the internet, the Gobbledygooker has a legacy which resounds throughout the ages.

This is perhaps a kind of infamy, as the Gobbledygooker is mostly known for being a huge let down to WWE fans. During the lead up to Survivor Series 1990, the WWE began to show a giant egg at their live events and television tapings. WWE announcers asserted that the egg would be hatching at Survivor Series, and speculated that it would reveal something spectacular and wonderful.

This was in the days before the internet, so fans were speculating like wild. Could it be a new, famous wrestler making their WWE debut? Or perhaps the return of an old favorite to the WWE?

But on Survivor Series, the egg hatched to reveal a man in a gaudy turkey suit. Fans were seriously let down, not only by the big reveal, but by the extremely long ten minute dance off between Mean Gene Okerlund and the Gobbledygooker.
