The Oddities were such a crazy, bizarre and absurd concept for a tag-team stable - it's genuinely hard to believe that they were actually pushed as a team. The team was managed by The Jackyl, otherwise known as ECW commentator Cyrus the Virus. When he first revealed the stable in 1998, he referred to it as the 'Parade of Human Oddities'. The stable consisted of two huge wrestlers; Kurrgan, who was 7 foot tall with very little mobility, and Giant Silva, who was 7 foot, 2 inches tall with no mobility. Last but not least was Golga, formerly known as Earthquake or John Tenta but with a stupid mask and an Eric Cartman from South Park plushie. To top off this freak show were the ICP (Insane Clown Posse) who accompanied The Oddities to the ring, worked as their managers and performed the atrocious entrance theme every single time. The WWF desperately tried to make this faction work, at one point attaching Sable to the group in hopes her sexuality could get the group over. George 'The Animal' Steele was even added as the 'Original Oddity', but ultimately the gimmick was too stupid, bizarre and silly to get over. As cutting edge as the WWF was in 98, not every idea was golden. By 1999, every member of the stable had been released - quite a sad end to John Tenta's wrestling career.
