10 Forgotten WWE Masked Men

A member of The Oddities, a short lived stable akin to a fun loving freak filled side-show, Golga was portrayed by former Earthquake, John Tenta. After rejoining the WWE from WCW in 1998, Tenta was put with the group when it was believed that he had lost too much weight to return to his previous gimmick and be considered a "Natural Disaster".

With a brown leather like mask complete with small deformed horns, Golga would show his support for a pop culture juggernaut of the time, South Park, by wearing Cartman T-shirts as well as carrying a plush Cartman to the ring at all times ... oooh the 90s.

Tenta was arguably the best worker of the group but considering "Giant Silva" was on the same team, anyone else would be hard pressed not to be seen in a good light. The group continued hitting those pop culture buttons, being paired briefly with The Insane Clown Posse, even entering a small feud with the group when the Clowns turned on them in favour of The Headbangers.

A member of a group that divides opinion, Golga is rarely mentioned when talking about masked men of the WWE.
