Revealed at the 1990 Survivor Series after hatching from a giant egg, the WWF animal mascot was supposed to appeal to younger audiences but instead it lives on as one of the company's worst ideas. Hector Guerrero was under the turkey suit and his task was to perform flips, dives and rolls to appease audiences at live events. A botch in Madison Square Garden where the Gobbledy Gooker fell inside the ring left Vince McMahon quite angry backstage and Hector knew that his days were maybe numbered after the trip-up. Still, years after making his debut, the WWF's turkey mascot was able to make a comeback at the WrestleMania X-7 Gimmick Battle Royal, and to this day, the Gobbledy Gooker still makes appearances on TV (usually around Thanksgiving time or at Survivor Series shows).
