It's the most wonderful time of the year! Oh wait no, that would be Christmas. Okay, so Halloween arrives again this Saturday, and I'm sure many WhatCulture readers will be heading out to knock on the doors of strangers in the hope of receiving sweets in return. Again, my bad, that would be children. Actually, I'm sure many WhatCulture readers will be heading to a fancy dress party of some form, looking to dress up as ridiculously as possible and drink many questionable liquids in the process. But wait, you've left it too late for the perfect costume, I hear you cry? Well, luckily professional wrestling throws up a lot of potential in this area. The internet is riddled with groups of grown men (and women) dressed in a variety of bright colours, mimicking the biggest names in THIS BUSINESS. Hulk Hogan, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage, The Rock, Mankind, The Undertaker, the list goes on and on but the chances are you've seen them at a fancy dress party. But what of the more inventive possibilities? What of the less heralded performers who have looks and gimmicks that would perfectly suit a Halloween party, and possibly gain you some creative points in the process?

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
