In a form of entertainment that prides itself on being subversive and creating memorable personalities with distinct costumes, catchphrases, and finishing moves, one might be inclined to ponder why a video game based in that same realm of entertainment would consider the height of subversiveness to be the inclusion of a crash test dummy as a playable character.

That was what the GameShark brought to the table for N64's WrestleMania 2000, which featured a hidden character simply named Dummy. It was, as expected, a full-sized, anthropomorphic test device that's used in simulating the safety of automobiles in various crash situations. But, ya know...in a wrestling ring.

In order to unlock this collision enthusiast, you had to enter a specific cheat code, then go through a strange "cloning" process in the brand new Create A Wrestler mode, where you copy and pasted a generic female body into a new creation slot, and then selected Dummy as a costume.

To emphasize its overall genericness, it had the most basic move set of any playable character in the game, and didn't even come equipped with an entrance. It just sort of appeared in the ring.
