10 WWE Gimmicks Nobody Was Supposed To Take Seriously

2. The Gobbledy Gooker

It could be said that the buildup to the big egg reveal at Survivor Series 1990 was one of the most anticipated reveals in WWE history. You may laugh at that, but it's true. When they did the big unveiling and it was this guy dressed in a ridiculous turkey costume, we were stunned. Then Mean Gene Okerlund started dancing with him. It was one of the most bizarre moments in wrestling history and not in a good way, that's for sure. The best thing we can say about Gooker is that he (or "it") didn't really last too long and they didn't book him to be a wrestler or anything that was relevant. It was merely something they did at Survivor Series 1990 to try to create some hype. A big reason why the Gooker is laughed at so much is because the surprise could have been something great, yet in reality it was a letdown of epic proportions.
