15: Who

The only interesting thing about the masked character Who, was that he was played by the legendary Jim Neidhart, father of current WWE Superstar Natalya. The character seemingly was on TV so Jerry Lawler could crack terrible jokes like ‘Who won the match?’, ‘Who is in the ring?’.

The character appeared for the first time on the July 6, 1996, episode of Superstars and disappeared with two months without creating a blip. What a waste of Jim Neidhart’s considerable talents.


14: Glacier

Glacier might be the only Mortal Kombat themed wrestler on this list, but he wasn’t the only Mortal Kombat themed wrestler WCW created. Glacier was clearly a Sub-Zero rip-off, his WCW debut was much hyped and vignettes aired for months building the anticipation.

WCW did everything they could to push Glacier from special set designs and lasers during his entrance to a year long undefeated streak. Glacier’s run flopped and melted into a stream. Even though Glacier stayed around for a few years, he never did much of note and never managed to live up to the initial hype.
