1. Mankind
Mankind was a three-time WWF Champion and the first WWF Hardcore Champion in history. The gimmick surrounding him was that he was a tortured soul that squealed like a baby constantly and screamed “Mommy!”. He also enjoyed pain and injured himself on purpose, and even had a rat friend with whom he had conversations. As bizarre as the whole thing was, it worked, and fans loved it. But, after several years of being Mankind, the real man behind the persona, Mick Foley, decided to come out as himself and showed his face. It was fun while it lasted, but after 20 years, it had to come to an end.
