6. Xanta
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvcEcbvEu5g The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase had the catchphrase, "Everybody has a price." In 1995, it seemed he was telling the truth when it seemed he had managed to pay off Santa Clause. At "In Your House 5: Seasons Beatings" (ugh) Ted was involved in a bit of a back and forth with Savio Vega on the house mic as Savio helped Santa interact with the audience. Fans looked on in horror as Santa attacked Vega from behind and aligned himself with DiBiase. Only it wasn't that simple. Savio fought back and in the scuffle, Santa's beard fell off revealing that it wasn't the REAL Santa at all. It turned out that Santa hadn't turned to the dark side at all, but DiBiase had actually acquired the services of the anti-santa known as Xanta Klause. Difference was that Xanta had a black beard and he came from the South Pole rather than the North. Xanta was basically a character created just for one Pay Per View, though he did have a VERY brief run on TV. He was quietly dropped after a handful of appearances but then how could a Santa character last longer than the month of December anyway? Xanta Klause went on to see (mostly) better days as Balls Mahoney in ECW.
