7. Phantasio
A magician wrestler with mime face paint. That makes about as much sense as...welll, as having a magician wrestler in the first place. Wanna know what's even more non-nonsensical? Phantasio walked to the ring wearing a mime mask that perfectly mimicked the face paint underneath. Of course, if you blinked, you missed this fact, because Phantasio only appeared on WWE television a single time, on July 16, 1996, as part of Wrestling Challenge. During that lone appearance, Phantasio (real name Harry Del Rio) "magically" pulled out his opponent's boxers to score the roll-up pin, and later "magically" removed Earl Hebner's boxers as well. Shortly thereafter, the promotion came to its senses, and Phantasio was sent on his way.
