10 Forgotten WWE Matches Followed By Something Infamously Terrible
7. The Alliance Vs. The Mercenaries (Followed By The Gobbledy Gooker)
Sgt. Slaughter took an age getting to the ring for his team's Survivor Series clash with The Alliance, stopping to cut a long and horrendous promo about soldiers in the Gulf War going starving in keeping with his equally-abhorrent Iraqi sympathiser gimmick.
That WWE unleashed The Gobbledy Gooker just one segment later highlights just how badly Vince McMahon was losing grip on his audience as the original pro wrestling boom continued to dissolve.
In Slaughter, he'd crafted a character so mindlessly offensive that he'd sabotage any faint hope of drawing six figures to WrestleMania the following spring. In the case of Hector Guerrero in a chicken outfit, he was highlighting why that was probably already a pipe dream anyway.
Watch the segment back - Mean Gene Okerlund on emcee duties and Gorilla Monsoon playing hype man on the headset work harder than the heads that laid this f*cking giant "eyag" on the pay-per-view. They'd were of greater value to the company than this misguided mascot and Slaughter's regressive rhetoric could ever hope to be.
