10 Most Outrageous Pro Wrestling Entrances
Not every pro wrestling entrance is a walk to the ring
Wrestling is as much about showmanship and spectacle as it is about simulated combat.
The first opportunity for theatrics presents itself before the bell has sounded when pro wrestlers make their entrances. A lot of entrances are, in their own way, somewhat over the top, but the following are extravagant even within the flexible parameters of sports entertainment.
Whether dangerous, elaborate, politically controversial or unintentionally hilarious, they prove that there really are no limits when it comes to creativity (or stupidity) in this wonderful and wacky world.
These are the 10 most outrageous pro wrestling entrances.
10. Big Josh - WCW SuperBrawl I
There is a long history of using bears in professional wrestling.
While the practice of wrestlers actually ‘wrestling’ bears – which was a big attraction in promotions like, for example, Stu Hart’s Stampede – was pretty much gone by the early 1990s, WCW decided to bring two of the large and very unpredictable animals into the mix for an unconventional entrance.
Accompanying fun-loving lumberjack Big Josh for his bout with Black Bart at SuperBrawl I, the bears were muzzled and closely tailed by their handler, but them just being in an arena full of people (not to mention loud music and pyrotechnics) was just asking for trouble.
They ended up urinating all the way down the ramp.
The brainchild of Dusty Rhodes – who wanted to do something unique to get his buddy over – it was obviously impractical and they only ever did it the one time.
Incredibly, this wasn’t even the weirdest entrance at SuperBrawl I.
