10 WWE Debuts That Were DOOMED From The Start

If you thought returning on the same night that Brock Lesnar returned was a tough break, spare a thought for a man that was bulit-up intensely for months in the run up to one of the WWE's biggest shows of the year, only to be asked to jump out of an egg while dressed as a turkey on the same night that The Undertaker made his first ever company appearance.

The '90s were a much more colorful era, when our tolerance for nonsense was much higher, given that we couldn't pick up a device to share our collective "WTF?!" with everybody on Earth at an instant. That said, after months of being promised a surprise that would change the game at Survivor Series 1990, and with rumors swirling of Ric Flair's arrival, being served The Gobbledy Gooker was an all-time gaffe from WWE.

The stunned silence of the audience before they erupt into a chorus of boos is glorious. Roddy Piper and Gorilla Monsoon on commentary do their best to try and convince the audience watching at home that the crowd at the Civic Center in Hartford, CT had been won over. Meanwhile, the audience looks on with a mixture of dismay and despair. The Gooker was actually played by Hector Guerrero, and unsurprisingly dropped around a month after his Survivor Series debut.
