Video of one of the most infamous gimmicks in wrestling history has finally surfaced on YouTube. In the dying days of the Los Angeles office, they unleashed The Monster upon the world. Accompanied here by The Great Goliath in a lilac New Japan Pro Wrestling jacket, he was billed as being built in a lab by the promotion itself, which made the hardcore fans REALLY angry at the time. Later on, he wrestled Andre The Giant. Andre didn't know he was billed as a legitimate monster and unmasked him. Whoops.

Oh wow, the first ever recipient of the Wrestling Observer Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic award. Ha, I had always heard about this but never actually seen it until now.
"Caol Uno was like Mutoh. He developed into a star overseas and then returned to his home country a much bigger deal. Dokonjonosuke Mishima is like Kobashi because they both do moonsaults. Don Frye is like Stan Hansen because they are both fat dumb rednecks with mustaches." - Jonathan Snowden
Good stuff
