WWE decided to introduce us to Antonio by randomly stating he was a rugby player. What has that Rugby playing thing have to do with him now?
Paul Burchhill a pirate?
Kizarny a Carney?
Tensai.. A Japanese warrior (Apparently this one doesn't count because he was never called a Ninja warrior by the WWE)
Prince Albert.. A piercer..
What are some other ways the WWE has introduced us to a new character, that seemed like a horrible idea at the time..

*looks at your sig* =p
I've gotta say, Damien Sandow seemed like an awful gimmick idea when he was still doing vignettes. His delivery was wooden and it was painfully apparent he was reading from a cue card. Not to mention how obvious it was that he didn't understand what he was talking about. I thought he was going to bomb big time.
Man oh man did he deliver on the big stage though.

antonio being a rugby player was saying that he's tough because rugby players are tough

The rugby thing was never really Antonio's gimmick. It was just his backstory to explain his stiff, hard hitting strongman style of wrestling.

Wait, wait. When did Pirate Paul Burchill ever seem like a horrible idea? It was GLORIOUS.

Paul Birchill was Regal's protege before he became a pirate.
I think the weirdest thing to do is a Scotty Goldman: to introduce them by just having them walk to the ring for a match they're going to lose.

Leave Simon Dean alone and it was powder blue or baby blue also purple was thrown in there as well. And for me if they introduce him Fandango may be the strangest one for me

And for me if they introduce him Fandango may be the strangest one for me Johnny Curtis is already a strange one. He had about 5 weeks of vignettes last year, and then never showed up. Another 4 weeks of vignettes this year with an entirely different gimmick, AND THEN NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN.

Snitsky in both debuts has to take it. First debut was as a random jobber that caused Lita to miscarry but somehow got a job out of it while the second was somehow shaving his head, dying his teeth yellow and moving to ECW made him a new guy to be feared.

Dolph Ziggler introducing himself. Primo introducing himself to Adamle backstage and getting interrupted by someone more important.
