8 WWE Factions You Totally Forgot Existed

5. The Oddities

Also known by the full title "The Parade of Human Oddities," this troupe of wrestlers was formed by The Jackyl (Don Callis), who united the group based on their "freakishness." In some cases, such as Kurrgan and Giant Silva, being a "freak" simply amounted to being really tall (which is seldom called out as a bad thing in wrestling), while the masked Golga had other implied abnormalities. It wasn't long before The Jackyl ditched the group to lead Hell's Henchmen (who would later come to be known as The Acolytes and the APA), leaving Sable to reintroduce the group as freakishly fun-loving faces who had been joined by the Insane Clown Posse (who performed the group's sorta-catchy theme) and Luna Vachon, because... why not? They even had an honorary member in George "The Animal" Steele, who was referred to as "the original" Oddity. Even with Sable serving as manager for a brief period (from August to December 1998), their profile never rose very high in WWE, and they soon became forgotten. Their most notable accolade? The award for "Worst Tag Team" by Wrestling Observer newsletter.
