Landing on number-one on the countdown is none other than a man whose entire persona was based on the carnival in the WWE: Kizarny! In fact, Kizarny's promo skills focused on actual carny talk, with his own name being a play on words as well. Unfortunately, despite unique and interesting vignettes hyping up his debut and an entertaining and impressive debut against MVP on SmackDown!, Kizarny was soon taken off television and quietly released from the roster. That, however, did not stop Kizarny from traveling the indies and performing under the name Sinn Bodhi, where he proved that the eccentric demeanor and carny background of his WWE character was not that far removed from his own! Having performed at circuses and carnivals himself prior to signing with WWE, Sinn Bodhi proudly epitomizes the circus and carny lineage of Professional Wrestling ... having founded Freakshow Wrestling, which amassed a cult-like following in Las Vegas and throughout California and brought together other jovial and quarky personalities such as magicians, comedians, and wrestlers alike that included Jake "the Snake" Roberts, Jenn O. Cide, Rikishi Phatu, Joey Ryan, Winter/Katie Lea Burchill, Gangrel, Tommy Purr, Scorch the Clown, Staysha the Sin CIty Strongwoman, Shelly Martinez, and Allison Danger. When it comes to living by the carny code or proving that wrestling is nothing more than a glorified circus, you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone that's as committed to doing so as this clown prince of Pro Wrestling.
