The Gobbledy Gooker Debuts

[MrOllonne]

Look at the fuckin agility!

[itsbinkl182]

One of the most embarrassing moments in American history..

[DanielArouchian]

Total disaster..Poor Mean Gene..he had to put up with this crap for several minutes

[georgemiser]

picture if you will, a world where places switched. Where, on that fateful night at survivor series 1990, Gobbledy Gooker became the populer one, where as The Undertaker faded into obscurity. Where the gooker became a world champ, AND had the wrestlemania streak. Ask yourselves, how badly would this have effected wwe?

[scionfan123]

I love how all the announcers & commentators try to be enthusiastic

[pcmarriotthk]

As Ron Simmons would say...

[Comprised]

booooo



[ARMIV4]

.....

[m2diggs]

Brodus Clay's new sorryass gimmick brought me here.

[NewEraOutlaw]

If it was the Playmate of the Month, it would have gone over a LOT better.

[Reveiledmurderer]

Just imagine if this was the ECW crowd when the Gobbledy Gooker debut XD

[sotodnl]

Is anyone else freaked out by this chicken? I mean he has this wide eyed cold stare like he is going to go ape shit

[JamesIsStone]

He needs to make a return.

[dsfddsgh]

For all you Vince McManhon butt boys who think he is a genius just take a look at this turkey which was no doubt a Vince idea. LOL

[goldensloth7]

I like to think the guy in the costume is crying the whole time.

[doomslayer133]

@goldensloth7 It was Hector Guerrero. If i remember correctly, in an interview he said he had no regrets doing this because it was simply for the children.

[ToxicDust13]

Its Héctor Guerrero!

[Strangepete]

"The gobbledy gook PAAA!!"

[ace94d]

...The fuck?

[ktownshutdown21]

Undertaker s. Gobbledy Gooker

19-1

[Strangepete]

@ktownshutdown21 Amen :D

[BlameItOnTheWhiteMan]

Hey look, It's Vito.

[louthegiantcookie]

Think about it, a man who accepts money to dance around in a turkey suit has more dignity than Mean Gene. Wow...

[MattNoSpam2]

As great as Roddy Piper was on Piper's is how awful he was as a commentator.

[EGarrett01]

One of the great subthemes of this awful segment is that someone worked really hard on that "Turkey in the Straw" rock remix.

[MrLink3315]

Itbegins2012 - The return of the Gobbly Gooker

[scottmackeen]

3:28 "The kids are going nuts, they love him!" Haha! Nobody was reacting.

[bhambritan]

I THINK THAT WAS JEFF HARDY AS A YOUNGSTER!

[jobo9173]

Thumbs up if WWE's list of turkeys brought you here!

[habsman31]

Great !

[DarkAsylum316]

TheGobbledy Gooker would be considered a traditional character unfortunately te WWf marketed him as a main stay, i mean Pete Rose is a WWF/WWE Hall Of famer and all he ever did was get his ass handed to him by a rooser #SMh and

[JohtheKing]

The greatest WWE character ever created.  Long live the Gooker

[JRDad]

Gorilla monsoon and rowdy roddy piper for the win!

[TheGrungeGamer]

As John Cena put best...this is now the 2nd biggest catastrophe since Mick Foley did to Cena as he had to The Rock back in 1999...and Mick Foley's This Is Your Life 2011 would be #1...this is #2.

[fangopango]

get down with da groove

[S0CKHEAD]

Commentator: "The kids are going crazy for the Gobbledy Gooker"

Kids: "BOO!"

[SRsyndrome]

Compared to how dark and badass Kane and Undertaker were, this is just pathetic. Definitely a form of entertainment that had it's embarassing moments.

[Arashikageryu]

People can say what they want, but back in the early 90's, this was pretty damn entertaining.

[howardtheman]

Wow what a waste of time for this segment just watching this 21 years later,I'm like WTF.

[howardtheman]

Hector Guerrero must've been embarassed to do this gimmick.

[TeslaDRay]

@howardtheman

yeah but he could move.

[nucleardonkeyxxx]

@howardtheman Actually just the opposite Hector enjoyed it and apparently still defends the character to this day.

[marsharent]

BOO!!!

Man, the kids are lovin' it!

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[MattHatter]

To quote The Miz.....Really?! REALLY? 

[MACEX1000]

the gobbledy rapist

[air5hocker15]

It makes WWE faker!

[BahigPimpin]

oh hector guerrero

[NPAL34]

and to think this was the same night the Undertaker made his debut lol

[LordBizarre112233]

And it just went on and on and on and on.

[delta3303]

wow that's insane i would have loved to go there for this. You can see the excitement in the crowd too, they just don't know what's in this egg wow

[Da44thMeow]

oh, i thought undertaker was gonna pop out

[mcog2006]

I was hoping for the playmate of the month.

[eyepatchinc]

whoever though this was a good idea should have been fired

[kalai131]

this was actually pretty entertaining.

[BaronKrool]

Wrestling was awesome in the 90's. This is proof.

[raydrt]

Holy crap! I was literally outside when this happened, wondering what all the booing and music was about.

Now I know! Thanks, Internet!

[ChubbyLuigi]

Funny TRIVIA: Undertaker debuted on this same PPV and could have possibly have debuted through that egg lol

[EnigmaDrath]

@ChubbyLuigi

Should have had Taker come out and chokeslam that turkey. THAT would have pleased the crowd :)

[HemmHon]

And to think of the money people paid for tickets to see this crap in person.

[FightkingSNF]

I love how they're atempting to salvage this mess, even though quite clearly no one likes this

[xhayesamaniax]

So this is why WCW was more popular in the 90's....

[Okonkwo009]

@xhayesamaniax and to think it's owned by WWE now

[gabrielcobo]

ou

brasil

[TeslaDRay]

i was 9 when this happened and being 6 months into knowing wrestling was fake, i still thought this was a let down even then.

[Deathscythetransform]

@TeslaDRay we agree it was pretty lame

[Deathscythetransform]

most stupid gimmik ever

[TeslaDRay]

@Deathscythetransform

wasn't even a gimmick, he never wrrestled. it was hector guerrero though.

[mm123]

LOL at Gene "is it the playmate of the month?"

[inechiSAN]

FUUU CRAPPY YOUTUBE LAYOUT!

i havent even watched the video yet, i tyed to click play AND IT CLICKED THE FUCKING LIKE BUTTON, FUUUU YOUTUBE, CHANGE DAMN IT!

[AndyPVale]

"Look at the kids, the kids are going nuts"

Followed by a load of shots of kids showing quite feverish indifference.

[JSEBCKGC]

this is so depressing

[kalai131]

@JSEBCKGC there is no such thing as depressing.

[harleyd1000]

one of the greatest and one of the worst gimmicks debuted at survivor series '90

[Pwnisher248]

You have to admire Gene and the announcers trying their best to be enthusiastic.

[Dylansorensen1]

that was so dumb

[MaximumSpiderMvC]

Gobbledy Gooker Vs Dragon Dragon.

A match for the ages!!

[9NotAVEVO6]

GOD I LOVE GENE

[davlr2009]

That's not a real egg

[saugagirl83]

Definitely the most bizzare moment in wrestling history!

[dtruth20091]

That was Eddie Guerreros father, Hector Guerrero I know he hated to be a Turkey. That was the only character he did in WWF.

[hectorcas93]

@dtruth20091 Hector is Eddie brother, their father was Gory Guerrero

[dtruth20091]

@hectorcas93 your right !

[AndyPVale]

"The kids are going nuts" I love the difference between the excitement of the commentators and the total indifference of the crowd.

[yman28]

i was hoping it was going to be Balloons. Seriously Gene, Balloons? Thank god Undertaker debuted that night

[KangaroosLoveJesus]

"The kids are going nuts; they LOVE him." ...er... nope.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

It's Still Real To Me Damn It!!!!

[theweddingsinger1970]

Haha, it was being booed just seconds after hatching

[mcog2006]

I was hoping for the playmate of the month.

[McShr00m]

@ 1:34, The announcer is making a face like "oh shit, why are they booing?"

[xbox360dude968]

say what you will about this, its not as bad as the YETT-TAY

[Apjooz]

@xbox360dude968

Oh yes the YETT-TAY who looked exactly like a mommy. XD

[Apjooz]

@Apjooz

Sorry, meant mummy of course.

[JimmyHeartburn75]

Mean Gene must have pissed off Vince in some way and this was his punishment

[KangaroosLoveJesus]

@JimmyHeartburn75

Haha! True enough. Nothing warrants this kind of punishment.

[The1DonG]

God bless Piper, he's trying so hard to make this work.

[Hulk2k6]

20+ Years later, Gene's probably having nightmares and walking up in a cold sweat going "No... Gobbledygooker, stop!"

[davekn74]

The only way this could have been saved was Piper running into the ring and kicking both their asses. Well, I'm not sure that would have helped this mess.

[knivez316]

The gobbledy gooker>john cena

[soloduk]

Holy crap. I had never seen that before. Was Vince on meth when he cooked up THAT?

[Spiderfan85]

Also wasn't seen again till Wrestlemania 17 in a gimmick match where he was defeated quickly.

[Spiderfan85]

Everything Mean Gene said was cooler than what it turned out to be. For shame.

[Randommaster1001]

This guy even makes the Shockmaster look scary

[garymaster42]

I love how everyone says this was a major letdown. You actually expected something good to come out of a gigantic egg?

[mygodjustwork]

LOLWUT

[TheSheepdog12]

There's a cool re-imagining of this event on the WrestleCrap website under their "Rewriting the Book" link. It tells of Terry Taylor returning to the WWF as the "ReTaylored Rooster" to get revenge on everyone who made fun of him when he was the "Red Rooster." It would have been awesome if the story unfolded as they told it. But what actually happened here was beyond stupid. I love how Piper says "The kids just found a new hero" while everyone's booing!

[bijibadness]

godDAMMIT "pro" wrestling sucks ass

[aidsbrigade]

WTF...

[DukeVonCheesus]

Remember, when the audience is really booing hard.... play the music EXTRA loud and power through.

[TheZaius]

This would've been okay had a wrestler who had been gone for a while showed up to kick this... THING'S behind.

I remember watching this when it happened and I had no idea what the hell was coming out of that costume's "beak." I guess it was gobbling.

[RayChiTown]

Boo!

[whelljack]

who is laughing

[TheDoomSquid]

I was 12 years olds when this crap happened and I was sooo pissed. I mean deep in my young brain I knew nothing cool was going to come out of a giant egg but still, the Gobbledy Gooker was beyond a disappointment, it was a giant fuck you to rassle fans. I hated watching Mean Gene degrade himself like that.

[LaVitaNouva]

@TheDoomSquid I share the same feeling with you,bro.That's the biggest fuck you .. even bugger than finger poke of doom -.-

[ShanerRamone]

Piper was most definitely drunk while commentating this. I would have to be too.

[jhwink]

They didn't know what to make of him at first but I think he's won the Heart of Hartford.

LOL

[jhwink]

You can tell by the way Mean Gene and the announcers are talking they are humilated.

ONE Of the worst ideas in WWE History.

[flipgood89]

lol...I love how vince had Gene make an ass out of himself, just to get this POS gimmick over.

[mrgabnormal]

Headline to wrestlemania: The Gobbledy Gooker vs. The Shockmaster....

[jstrotha0975]

Gayest moment in wrestling history. The Gobbledy Gooker is really Lady Gaga

[teknokrat1]

just think how awesome it would have been if ultimate warrior's music started and he ran out there and gorilla pressed that thing and then ran back up the ramp.

[teknokrat1]

audience: confusion... then... booooooo! lol that's classic.

[Gauldoth]

You can hear the booing start as it comes out of the egg!

[LifeInBrunswick]

I wonder if it's true that Mark Calaway was intended to come out of the egg?

[Crookmeisteren]

@LifeInBrunswick yeah mick foley says he heard that Taker was originally going to debut as 'the eggman'

[LifeInBrunswick]

I wonder if it's true that Mark Calaway was intended to come out of the egg?

[KingSnarf]

I like to think that the Gobbledy Gooker mask was filled with Hector Guerrero's tears.

[maxhazard]

Lady Gaga ripped this off!

[SixSevenEightyThree]

So, this is where Lady Gaga got it from!

[krystalloversteve]

This makes me feel bad for Mean Gene

[kalloused]

epic fail. Ted Dibiase bringing his secret wrestler "The Undertaker" to the million dollar team saved that PPV event.

[BimLanders]

They shacked the world!

[UnpredictableJRodz]

I was at this event....couldn't believe I was seeing this! We passed on ringside seats because I didn't want to be seen on a PPV....glad we did that! Love how Monsoon and Piper scream trying to drown out all the booing; of course we didn't know that until later when we watched the PPV. It was an absolute disgrace to what was a real good Survivor Series.

[CanadaDan7]

@UnpredictableJRodz Shame on you for ever going to one of these events.

[devilcomments]

Doesn't this guy appear on WWE Alumni?

[capsulej]

@iBootlegMovies It's probably closer to wrestling than the diva division.

[GlorifiedTruth]

Good clean family fun! Replace the ridiculous "diva" division with more of this!

[boitahaki]

enterteinment: you are doin it wrong

[SerialKiller1986]

lol , wrestling ! XD

[dominant84]

WTF is this shit?

[napalmwedding]

Is that announcer Michael Hayes?

[tapiaassasin]

No wonder WCW failed.....Oh wait! This isn't WCW at all.But they told me this kind of stuff only happens there.Liars..

[Guitaribonist]

I'm never going to make fun of the Shockmaster again!

[0Mike0Banks0]

2:15 that sums it up

[melosebrainuhoh]

Aah, the sweet stench of complete and total failure. The fans were practically booing as soon as the first feather was visible. How could they have EVER thought this was a good idea?

[nashbryantjames]

hahaha actually the gobbledy gooker (Hector Guerrero) is now the spanish commentarist on tna O_O

[AbsolutAntonius]

lol I remember this...so lame. Everyone's booing. The build up was the best part.

[TheTaylorJohnson1]

wow...

[thekingofkingsdxx]

the Gobbledy Gooker is hector guerrero

[FeceMcGee]

"the kids are going nuts, they love him!"

[j0nboy12397]

HAHA I love the gobbledy gooker.

[Goji73]

I dunno what's more embarrassing, this or "the shockmaster"

[bangman550]

@Goji73 the shockmaster.

[krobelusthekid]

Piper and Gorilla are doing their best to make this thing seem awesome

[Jeeper1540]

I am so happy i wasnt alive during this...

[VulGarretty21]

Bet he'd destroy the Swagger Soaring Eagle

[Omahasuicidalist]

@VulGarretty21 considering The gooker was Hector and the eagle was Chavo... BOOK IT!!!

[conradojavier]

@Omahasuicidalist I wish Vickie Guerrero is in a Chicken Costume.

[bigreed67]

@VulGarretty21 HELL NO!!!!!!!!! That eagle got America through some tough times (lol).

[tmbttes]

incredibly the Gooker joins the Undertaker as the only participant from the 1990 Survivor Series still active on wrestling today (Gooker is every week on TNA at the Spanish announcers table)

[geoguy333]

Cracked.

[TecDax]

Gobbledy Gooker >>> HoF Class of 2011

[Syntox]

I love the silent disappointment followed by the boos...I'll never forget when this happened. Biggest WTF Swerve EVER!

[TheMastroAntonio]

You must be a redneck if you have ever been to a wrestling event.

[cavspunk08]

@TheMastroAntonio then I guess there are a TON of rednecks across the world then

[CECRedGhost]

@TheMastroAntonio Oh you!

[VoorkJTV]

the gobbledy gooker would kick Hornswoggle's ass

[zachattacking]

This is hysterical.

[2010Barbon]

what the fuck has an egg got to do with wrestling!?!?!

[Craigers22763]

"The shank of the evening!" I love his way with words.

[acehighpat]

I remember the build up to this. They had the egg at the TVs where kids would come up and pet it wondering what was in the egg. It was a huge letdown for all.

[bealtespip123]

@acehighpat Honestly,would anything "cool" ever come out of an egg in wrestling???

[acehighpat]

@bealtespip123 You have a point, but it was a different time. We had no idea what would happen. I think everyone was hoping the Playmate of the Month would come out of the egg lol.

[acehighpat]

@acehighpat Also, when the boos started, I felt bad for Mean Gene and Hector because they had to go the ring to sell this literal turkey for the next for the next few minutes. The only people who were digging it were the marks. Everyone else in the crowd was still puzzled by what this was, and many felt their intelligence was insulted.
