Golga was another Light-Heavyweight competitor.

OK, only joking. That turd-brown mask, South Park t-shirt and sweatpants combo was worn by WWF legend John Tenta. 99.9% of fans will know him best as the towering Earthquake, but it's often forgotten that he was obsessed with Cartman dolls and sniffing trainers for a while too.

Golga stood alongside other "freaks" like Giant Silva and Kurrgan in The Oddities. Remarkably, the group did make a minor splash by mixing crowd participation (their Insane Clown Posse-penned entrance theme got hands waving) and outright silliness. Even so, this was definitely a low point of Tenta's wrestling career, and it didn't really last all that long.

John had lost significant weight before returning to the fold in '98, so the WWF didn't think a 'Quake reprisal would be believable. Apparently, putting him in a sh*tty mask and having him develop foul habits like sniffing shoes, was the way to go.
