10 Confusing Wrestling Moments That Nobody Understands

4. Group Hugs And Screw Jobs

I could list a couple of dozen WCW moments that made no sense, but in selecting one for this list, the prime example that I keep coming back to is the single appearance of the Yeti.

Jesus, the Yeti. What were they thinking? Supposedly transported to Nitro by Kevin Sullivan frozen in a giant block of ice to use as a secret weapon against Hulk Hogan, the Yeti was a huge man (Ron Reis) swathed in bandages from head to foot. Not a giant hairy beast from Nepal, buta mummy.

The theory is that the Yeti was supposed to be El Gigante, aka Giant González, aka Jorge González, a former basketball player with gigantism, but González was taken ill and replaced in the role. But the bandages? This was not a Yeti. It was a mummy. Everyone could see that. Everyone above the age of three.

Worse, before the creature staggered out to attack Hogan, his own manager Jimmy Hart had swerved on him, knocked down the referee and hit Hogan with the title belt. When the Yeti came out to envelope him in a bearhug from behind, while Paul 'The Giant' Wight did likewise from the front (it looked like something from a prison movie), Hogan was accused of being behind Hart's attack on the referee, despite the fact that Hart's swerve on Hogan indicated that the opposite was true.

No one knew what was supposed to be happening. What were the Yeti and the Giant doing to Hogan? Was it even legal? Weren't children watching this show? And why was Hogan the one disqualified when he was pretty much the only one that hadn't cheated?

All questions that nobody had an answer to.
