8 Wrestling Characters We Never Saw

While the debate as to whether our universe really is presided over by an all-seeing celestial being is in full swing in the real world, it seems safe to assume that he or she hasn't yet made their wrestling bow.

The closest we came to seeing our creator appear in a WWE ring came at Backlash 2006, where they were scheduled to compete in a tag team match alongside the born-again Shawn Michaels, with Vince and Shane McMahon standing in the opposite corner.

But, when their dreamy entrance music sounded, nobody walked out. Instead, a spotlight followed an invisible figure down the entrance ramp, where they purportedly climbed into the squared circle to be given a rite-of-passage dressing down by the chairman of the board.

This was, if kind of funny, completely ridiculous - but it could have been much, much worse. You can easily imagine someone like a young Luke Gallows being carted out sporting a long, white beard and a pair of angel wings (although that's probably less of a death sentence than Festus).
