The Resume

(June 22, 1963-June 7, 2006)
Wrestled for the WWE, WCW and AJPW
Former WWE Tag Team Champion
Wrestled as Earthquake, Avalanche, Shark and Golga

Why he might be annoying:

As Earthquake, he offended many people in the WWE when he sat on and crushed Jake Roberts’ snake. He later served it as ‘quake burgers.’
After Earthquake, he had a number of silly gimmicks that went nowhere.
His Avalanche gimmick in WCW was a clear rip-off of Earthquake.
He had a gimmick called Shark where he basically acted like a shark hailing from ‘The Great Barrier Reef’.
For the Shark gimmick, his trademark tiger tattoo on his shoulder was turned into a shark.
Three weeks later, the gimmick was dropped and he was no longer the Shark.
He came back to the WWE under a mask going by the name Golga although everybody knew it was him under the mask.
As Golga, he was involved in the heavily trashed stable called The Oddities.

Why he might not be annoying:

He was the top heel in wrestling in the early 90’s.
The highlight of his career was a big money feud with Hulk Hogan.
The feud catapulted him into the main event of Summer Slam.
He seemed to be a good sport about the bad gimmicks and lame angles he’s had.
He was the only good worker in the Oddities, thereby carrying the stable.
He was named Most Hated Wrestler of the Year by PWI (1990).
He battled advance bladder cancer.
