The Gobbledy Gooker is Born Survivor Series 1990


Yes, after an insane amount of anticipation and build up, what came out of the egg was a man dressed in a turkey costume. The millions of people watching the event at home, as well as the 16,000 in attendance that day (of which your humble columnist, at the tender age of 11, was one) witnessed one of the most embarrassing events in the history of professional wrestling.

Hector Guerrero, dressed in an absurd turkey suit, proceeding to flip and dance around the ring, making turkey noises and dancing with Mean Gene. Okerlund, using his vast announcing talents, deduced the name of the clucking man was "The Gobbledy Gooker." Guerrero and Okerlund spent what seemed to be an eternity making fools of themselves as the capacity crowd booed heavily, praying for this event to end. Gorilla Monsoon and and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper tried to save this fiasco on commentary, claiming that the arena loved the Gobbledy Gooker, as they were barely audible over the sounds of the booing and jeering.
