10 Worst WCW Gimmicks Ever

8. The Yeti

Take a good, long look at the picture above...does that look like a Yeti? Of course not, it's a freaking mummy. A 7-foot tall mummy named the Yeti. By the way, WCW pronounced it "Yet-eye" just to make the whole thing even weirder. Making his debut on the October 23, 1995 edition of Nitro, the Yeti was the Dungeon of Doom's insurance policy against Hulk Hogan at the upcoming Halloween Havoc pay-per-view. Of course, the Yeti couldn't have a normal debut so WCW had him break out of a huge block of ice. So, to recap: A wrestler named the Yeti (pronounced "Yet-eye") broke out of a huge block of ice but, upon breaking out of the aforementioned ice, it is revealed that the Yeti is a mummy. Couldn't you just call him King Tut or something like that? At Halloween Havoc, the Giant put Hulk Hogan in a devastating bearhug, causing the Yeti to make his way to the ring. The Yeti proceeded to give Hogan a bearhug of his own, only his was from behind. Unfortunately, the Yeti started to thrust his hips at the same time, giving us the image of a giant mummy raping Hulk Hogan. The gimmick was quickly identified as a huge flop and the mummy look was abandoned for a masked ninja look. Because apparently 8-year-olds were naming wrestlers for WCW, they changed the Yeti's name to the Super Giant Ninja. Super Giant Ninja Yeti only lasted a few more matches before being repackaged as Reese and joining Raven's Flock.
