10 Wrestling Characters That Had The Plug Pulled On Them Immediately

1. The Yeti

The Yeti lives on for one infamous image: emerging from his gigantic block of ice and then bear hugging Hulk Hogan in a Giant/Hogan/Yeti sandwich. We only remember him from that moment, because that was it. The Yeti never actually competed in the ring.

Even for the quite often ridiculous Dungeon of Doom, The Yeti was simply too ridiculous to handle. Adding to the problem was that Mr. Yeti wasn’t played by the man that WCW was hoping for. Originally, Giant Gonzalez was set to return to the company, but he was injured and couldn't play the role, so Ron Reis had to step in and wrap himself in toilet paper.

Imagine that, Reis had to be a backup to one of the absolute worst wrestlers of all time. How does one process that news?

WCW perhaps realised that a giant mummy wrestling would be impossible to take seriously...and quite costly to wrap up every week, so the Yeti soon morphed into Super Giant Ninja, who had no ninja abilities to speak of, and then he too quickly had his plug pulled.
