15 Bizarre Wrestling Gimmicks You Won't Believe Happened More Than Once

1. Angry Baseball

For most of these entries, at least one of the examples has been fairly well-known. Like, maybe the Booty Man slipped your mind but at least you remember Billy Gunn, right? Maybe you never really thought about the weird thread tying together One Man Gang, Chavo Guerrero and Jamie Noble until today, but yeah, you remembered their alter egos. Well, I DARE you to remember Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz or MVP: Most Violent Player, both evil baseballers PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE BASEBALLS. Ol' Knuckleball was actually the Brooklyn Brawler, repackaged just in time to capitalize on 1994's Major League Baseball strike. The MVP -- not to be confused with Montel Vontavius Porter, of course -- was actually former professional ball player Dale Torborg.
Looking like Wolfpac Sting stepped into the matter transporter from The Fly with a souvenir ball, Torborg's character was a sight more demonic than Abe's. And fittingly so: when WCW needed a goober with his own paint kit to portray the infamous KISS Demon, the MVP got the nod.
