10 Most Outrageous Pro Wrestling Entrances
Not every pro wrestling entrance is a walk to the ring
9. Oz - WCW SuperBrawl I
Up there with the absolutely most inane ideas from WCW in the 1990s was the character of Oz, inspired by the great and powerful wizard.
The rights to the movie version of The Wizard of Oz were owned by WCW parent company Turner Broadcasting, presenting a glorious opportunity for a bit of cross-promotional corporate synergy.
The unlucky Kevin Nash – who was probably looking back longingly at his days as Master Blaster Steel – was chosen to portray the silver-haired Oz, making his grand debut in the guise at the first SuperBrawl.
Accompanied by The Grand Wizard (AKA Kevin Sullivan in a dodgy mask and wig), Oz came out of a ‘castle’ and garbled something that seemed to scare away Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow as two weak sparklers, some green lighting and a puff of smoke heralded his arrival.
The presentation would probably get a bad review from your local newspaper if it took place in a primary school play. Nash then unmasked to round off the humiliation.
