Tatanka's bizarre WrestleMania 32 return made yet more use of a Native American persona Vince McMahon clearly had a deep-rooted fondness for - he'd surely never have afforded him such a strong undefeated streak otherwise.
The gimmick was almost brand new here, and was fed established veteran Rick Martel as a way to start a feud rather than pay one off.
Victory for the young star triggered a revenge attack the following week when 'The Model' added Tatanka's ceremonial feathers to his ensemble. A grievance commenced at WrestleMania didn't conclude until November's Survivor Series - the issue was at this point deader that whichever eagle had originally been plucked for it's plumage.
