I haven’t followed the WWE and the wrestling scene in general since my early teenage years. I watch a few matches here and there as my brother flips through the channels but nothing serious. That is, until I watched Nacho Libre for the very first time about a week ago and ever since then, I’ve had the urge to bash peoples heads in and break chairs over their backs (only pretend fighting of course). This entire past week, when somebody walks past me in the hallway of our home, I pretend to smack them around like we would during our childhood after we had just finished watching a WWE Wrestling match. I’m immature as is but these pretend fights at this age are on a whole new level.
Although it’s too late for me to even consider a WWE career, it got me interested in some of the past characters since I missed out on so many years. The list here doesn’t include the greatest WWE wrestlers of all-time. No, instead I have a list of the most wackiest WWE wrestlers that have stepped into the ring.
Top 5 Wackiest WWE Wrestling Characters
Rikishi
Okay, Rikishi is not really all that wacky. He’s one giant son of a gun weighing in at more than 400 pounds. The crazy thing about Rikishi is his signature move called the Stink Face. Do you really want to be on the receiving end of the “Stink Face” from a man that size? Rikishi would fling opponents into the corner and then back that booty right into their face resulting in a swift surrender or being “knocked out”.
The Moondogs
This duo were known for their shaggy hair, wild beards, frayed jeans, and of course their animal bones which they used as chew toys as well as weapons against their opponents. Their animal like behavior and lack of hygiene made them bad to the bone and the superstars of the time feared going head to head against the Moondogs.
Abdullah The Butcher
Wacky, disturbing, and strange are all appropriate words to describe this fellow. Abdullah the Butcher was known for his hardcore style of wrestling and every wrestling match which involved him was guaranteed to have blood. One of his noticeable features are the deep scars on his forehead which are a result of frequent blading (intentional cutting to provoke bleeding). Some of his famous antics include eating announcers’ ties and gobbling down whole raw fish.
The Bushwhackers
Not much to say about these guys. They were more disgusting than wacky as these freaks of nature enjoyed licking each other, their opponents, and they also licked fans en route to the ring. That’s pretty messed up.
The Boogeyman
The Boogeyman seems like an appropriate name and I’m sure the Voodoo Man would work just as well. The strangest thing Boogeyman has done on stage is grab a handful of live worms and put them in his mouth followed by spitting them into the mouth of someone else. That would be pretty scary to experience….and disgusting.
Well, there is my list of wacky WWE characters. We all have our favorites and all WWE wrestlers are essentially unique with their own style and personality which is what attracts the millions of fans. Who are some of your favorites WWE wrestling characters from the past and present?
