$0.99
Why The Yeti was called that (despite being a mummy), who was initially cast, and the accidental moment with Hulk Hogan at Halloween Havoc!
Description
Billed at 7 feet 2 inches tall and covered head-to-toe in what looked like wrappings and gauze, he was clearly designed as a mummy-type character, yet was called “The Yeti” (or “THE YET-TAY!” as Tony Schiavone memorably would pronounce it). It may go down as one of the most peculiar wrestling gimmicks of all time! Who was originally tapped for the role, and what exactly transpired during that awkward moment with Hulk Hogan? We dive in to answer these wrestling history questions!
