THE YETI, A WRESTLER?!

Okay so, WCW (World Championship Wrestling) is really crazy. Allow me to quote this fellow's description of one of WCW's wacky ideas for a wrestler....

"One of my personal favorite WCW abominations comes in the form of Giant, Sloppy Guy Covered In Tissue Paper, later renamed The Yeti. This one really supports [my] whole monkeys-running-the-show theory... Something was stuck in a block of ice in the middle of the arena. As the show closed out, the ice broke, and out came the Yeti! Of course, WCW's idea of what a Yeti should look like is a little flawed. This is obviously a mummy, or at least a poorly rendered version of one. In any event, the Yeti's only contribution to pro-wrestling was walking into the ring and literally hugging Hulk Hogan. We were supposed to believe that Hulk was being hurt by all this, but unfortunately, the Yeti's great costume prevented him from outstretching his arms that far. The Yeti's only other participation came about a month later in a pay-per-view match, only this time, he was dressed like a ninja and carried a plastic sword. I'm not kidding."
