The Strangest WWE Costumes Of All Time

Let's face it; the WWE has seen plenty of weird and wonderful characters come and go throughout the years. One of the biggest draws to the sport is seeing the different characters come to life. Of course, it wouldn't be the WWE without a completely themed look, backstory, and rivalries, would it?

Just because the sport has seen some of the most impressive names throughout the years doesn't mean they have always been hits. In fact, plenty have been left wondering about the strangest WWE costumes of all time. Sometimes, we can't help but sit back and wonder what some people were thinking.

Mataur

Being half-beast, half-man was meant to make Mataur one of the scariest WWE wrestlers of the time. However, the 1995 effects and looking like a bull outfit pulled from Party City meant that Mataur was simply one of the strangest WWE costumes of all time instead. Fans didn't find the look intimidating and instead laughed him out of the ring. While Mike Halac - the person behind Mataur - later returned as Tank, it was tough to shake his original run in the franchise.

Shockmaster

What happens when you take a Stormtrooper helmet and cover it in silver glitter? You get Shockmaster's look from 1993. Yes, it really happened. Going down as one of the strangest WWE costumes of all time, the infamous entrance was enough already as Shockmater tripped over himself after breaking through a wall. The mask fell off, his opponents broke character, and everything was a major disaster. Still, Shockmaster did pave the way for his supposed nephew, The Super Shockmaster, to enter the ring following his run.

The Ding Dongs

The Ding Dongs might just be one of the more memorable duos to enter the world of the WWE. Their name was one thing, but their theoretical costumes might just have been some of the strangest the sport has ever seen. Why were they called the Ding Dongs? The bells that covered their orange bodysuits, of course. Their short-lived career with the franchise was just as musical as it was bizarre to watch.

Gobbledy Gooker

There's only one way to enter the WWE as a turkey: by being hatched out of an egg. That's precisely what happened back in 1990 when Gobbledy Gooker was born. He was a part of the Survivor Series that year and was more horrifying looking than anything else. He didn't stay a part of the franchise for long, much like many other gimmicks, and not many were sad to see Gobbledy Gooker go.

Giant Gonzalez

Joining the WWE in 1993 as a part of the Royal Rumble saw Giant Gonzalez become the talk of the town. After all, standing over seven-and-a-half feet tall meant he was never going to blend into the crowd. Sadly, it's not his height or potential talents that got people talking; it was his strange WWE costume. The body suit had been airbrushed with various fake muscles and strategic hair. While it was meant to look intimidating, it almost left him looking like an extra from a fantasy movie instead.

Battle Kat

It might be no wonder that having cat-like reflexes would see Dean Peters take this and run, right? While it might have sounded like a good idea on paper, becoming Battle Kat left plenty of people thinking the costume might look better in the fancy dress section. Fans were less than impressed with someone wrestling as a cat, and it took just a few months before Peters was cut as a part of the WWE.

Becoming a part of the WWE is about more than just having a character and backstory. It's about creating a person that fans believe - and it's not always successful. While these might be the strangest WWE costumes of all time, they certainly left a lasting impression on the franchise that not everyone has achieved.
