10 Times WWE Survivor Series Decisions Backfired
10. The Gobbledy Gooker (1990)
Well, you figured this atrocity had to make the cut. Eddie Guerrero's older brother Hector was shoehorned into a plumage-adorned turkey costume, and hatched from a jumbo-sized egg at the 1990 Survivor Series. That egg appeared at TV tapings for months prior to the pay-per-view, with the promise of some major surprise hatching from it on Thanksgiving night.

Not only was the Gooker overshadowed by the other surprise of the evening (a debuting Undertaker, who had the role down pat from day one), but the negative reaction to an anthropomorphic turkey that danced with Mean Gene Okerlund led to Gooker being shelved very quickly. All of the hype was for nothing, except providing WrestleCrap with its eventual patron saint.
