10 Worst Wrestling Masks

9. Golga

What shade of colour is that? Turd brown? Toilet bowl beige? Aw sh*t, I used to be over but now I'm a laughing stock in a weird wrestling faction going nowhere khaki? Whatever big John Tenta and the WWF were going for in 1998, they missed the target spectacularly.

His Golga mask was hideous, and not in a curious way.

Had Tenta been playing a more menacing character, then this disguise might've cut it. It's a dead skin mask that's quite chilling to look at, but it didn't fit his Cartman-loving gimmick or t-shirt and sweatpants attire at all. In fact, if anything, the mask should've reflected his love of South Park's favourite loudmouth.

The company could've made the mask red like Cartman's sweater, or turquoise and yellow like his trademark hat. Instead, they went with the most lifeless shade they could think of. The artist formerly known as Earthquake had no chance in this crap get up.
