8 Schizophrenic Wrestlers Who Couldn't Figure Out Who They Were
6. Bill Eadie
One of the few Mongolian wrestlers to be a world tag team champion Bolo Mongol was trained by one half of the Mongols tag team, Geeto (The other half turning his back on his roots to become Nicolai Volkoff).
He also eventually hid his heritage by donning a mask to become The Masked Superstar – I guess Los Matadores would’ve been The Hooded Jobbers in that territory – his run as The Superstar was quite a successful one winning various regional titles, challenging Bob Backlund for the WWF title and being one of the first wrestlers to body slam Andre The Giant – which despite occurring in the early eighties must’ve been after Wrestlemania III because Hulk Hogan was obviously the first wrestler to slam him.
When Andre got suspended from the WWF at the behest of Bobby Heenan he sneakily continued to wrestle under everyone’s nose as Giant Machine to continue battle with The Brains monster tag team of Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy with Eadie by his side as Super Machine. The team of Machines was rounded out by Big Machine aka Blackjack Mulligan although very little is known about other occasional tag partners such as Hogan Machine or Piper Machine.

The next phase of his career went from one successful gimmick to another – which is a rarity amongst those afflicted with Multi Gimmickosis – as Ax one half of the longest reigning WWF tag team champions Demolition. Although some of my historic recollections can sometimes be a little hazy, I can state for a fact that Demolition were the greatest face painted, S&M gear wearing tag team in the history of professional wrestling and not just the WWFs rip off of the Road Warriors
A heart problem eventually led to Ax taking a background role with the team and upon his eventual release he has continued throughout the years wrestle with various partners on the independent scene as Axis The Demolisher.
