25 Bizarre WWE Christmas Moments

17. The Christmas Creature

Later on we'll get into Kane's canonical hatred of the holidays, but his stint as the menacing Christmas Creature may be a contributing factor. While wrestling for Jerry Lawler's USWA, the future Big Red Machine also sported a good deal of festive green in his wardrobe. Old CC wore a green tunic with candy cane sleeves and a mess of tinsel dangling from his face, not unlike a holiday Cthulhu.

Like all Memphis heels, his destiny was to lose to Jerry Lawler, which he did in short order. This was in 1993, meaning that the poor guy still had 3-4 years of terrible gimmicks ahead of him before Kane came around.
