Ideally, what should've come out of the egg (the one that birthed the Gooker at Surviver Series)? The Playmate of the Year? Andre the Giant? Lex Luger? Sid Vicious? Rodney Dangerfield? The returning Red Rooster (roosters don't lay eggs)? The debuting Undertaker?
What do you think should've come out of the egg?

A new wrestler would have been nice

I think hindsight being what it is, a debuting or returning wrestler would have been the best payoff.
In context though a bodybuilder to announce the launch of the World Bodybuilding Federation would have been the best payoff for the time.

How seriously were we supposed to take a wrestler who emerged out of an egg?
Anyway, I'd like to take this opportunity to put some current humour in a retrospective context: Imagine that Lex Luger emerged from the egg, and when Mean Gene asked him what he had been doing in there, Lex replied with his classic "I DON'T KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" line.

they just never should have done the whole egg thing. really, a guy emerges from an egg, he HAS to be some kind of chicken-man, at least in old WWF kayfabe logic. suppose taker came out of the egg, everyone would have been like "why is a zombie coming out of an egg?"
the gobbledy-gooker is actually the best option, and that should tell you what a heinous (by gawd) idea it was to start.

How seriously were we supposed to take a wrestler who emerged out of an egg? What's wrong with eggs? I like eggs. And anyway, if people were interested in what came out of the egg, then I don't think the angle started out bad. It was just the pay-off that SUCKED.

Here's my solution:
At the point where the egg is supposed to "hatch," you have one of the top heels come out and destroy the egg by lowering a forklift onto it, just to be a prick. Whatever was inside is now pulverized, and we never get to know what it was. Randy Savage would have been a good man for the job, since for some reason he wasn't included on that Survivor Series card.
So either that idea, or an evil dinosaur wrestler who wants to end Hulkamania.

It might've been cool if the Great Muta debuted by hatching out of the egg.

Red Rooster would make sense coming out of the egg and chicken dancing down to the ring.

I don't think something that would be worthwile in the long run could possibly come out of an egg. Imagine Brock Lesnar's megapush if he debuted coming out a waffle, it'd be ridiculous.

I say they drag a new egg around the country and fans vote on someone to put into the egg, never to be seen or heard from again.

It should never have been done in the first place. If people wanted to see what came out of the egg (which they did), then it wasn't really a bad idea. After all, drawing fans is arguably the most important aspect of wrestling.

A fighting cock themed luchadore. Think about it, only a Mexican could get away with dressing like a chicken in the ring.

I would still prefer the Gooker.
If it weren't for that, Wrestlecrap wouldn't be.
