Xavier Woods. He just randomly came out with R-Truth without warning, no promos before or anything he just showed up.

WCW 1999:
"You been anywhere Terry"
Terry Taylor "Nah, not really"
Was always a weird one.

Spike Dudley and Rhyno both had sudden debuts by showing up to interfere in tag matches to help their respective teams. Rhyno helped Edge & Christian. Spike helping the Dudley Boyz and giving Edge the Dudley Dog I believe. No vignettes or anything. Just a sudden showing up. Same for Justin Credible, Tajiri and Jerry Lynn in that same time period.

Kizarny. They ran his vignettes for what felt like months... then stopped dead for like a month, then they started running them again, then he debuted to squash MVP, then he was in a battle royal, then fired. Also, David Hart Smith round one. He shows up on Raw, squashes Carlito, then it comes out that they knew going into the match he had failed a wellness test and he was suspended immediately after it, then he didn't show up again for months. Didn't he also appear along with a bunch of other wrestlers, maybe for a lumberjack match or something? I recall seeing Union Jack trunks and thinking "Wait, who on the roster is dressed like that?"

I know Heyman tried his best to explain who they were, but still...

Maybe it is just me but when they debut guys with the implication that they aren't wrestlers - it kind of clashes with the "Don't try this at home" stuff. It always takes me out of the show.

What about that guy Alicia Fox initially managed? Dancing his way to the ring, looking like a Alex Wright clone, with Edge and Vickie's wedding planned at his side.

Didn't Dave Taylor just turn up out of nowhere as a tag partner for Regal and then disappeared without warning or ceremony shortly after?

Didn't Val Venis debut standing infront of a black backdrop talking about how women worship his enormous cock then the rest of his vignettes consisted of women being shocked and lots of hot dog and drill segways?
Not the standard debut.

Tiger Ali Singh had two debuts. The first one (early in 1997), he was a serious wrestler from India fans were supposed to like. The second time around, he was Million Dollar Hindu, offering money to "random plants fans". (The one with the Kielbasa Queen from Howard Stern was what jump-started the Godfather's gimmick as a loveable pimp.)
The first Tiger reveal is the type of debut that never seems to get over with fans; it's the "he's the son of a famous wrestler" debut, and you know at least 3/4ths of the people had no idea who the father was. (Miguel Perez Jr. suffered with this type as well, when he saved Savio Vega from a beatdown from the Nation.) Scott Putski was introduced through vignettes and clips of his father Ivan in the ring. (Yeah, THAT tells me a lot about the kid.)

I want everybody in here to take a good look at the crap I'm in. I left the World Wrestling Federation for Gimmicks like this. For all of you that don't know, I was Goldust - and Goldust sucked! Goldust nearly ruined my wrestling career. You see, I wanted to come back to WCW, 'cause this is home for me. And I wanted to be me, just me, because that's what I can do, just be me. But "the powers that be" came to me and they said "Dustin, you know, Dustin sucks. Dustin is boring."
So I'm here now, I stand before you, oh, my new name is Seven by the way. They've dressed me up like Uncle Fester, to play trick or treat all year long.
Uh uh
Powers that be, what you can do, is take Goldust and shove it up your ass. You can take this silly looking thing, Seven, and shove it up your ass. And you both can kiss my ass. Now last week, my father called me, Dusty Rhodes, and it seems that he's no longer with this company, after 25 years of building everything that you see right here and right now they kicked him to the curb like he was a piece of shit. Well, powers that be, that doesn't cut the mustard and now you got to to deal with me, because you disrespected my father, you disrespected the Rhodes' name and you disrespected me for the last damn time, you understand?
So from this moment on, tonight and to the rest of your lives, I'm gonna make your life a miserable hell, I'm gonna make WCW a miserable hell and TNT too. So boys, I know you're back there, staring your little fat asses at the monitor looking at me, you know one thing, tonight and forever more, you will never ever forget the name of... Dustin Rhodes.

Konor o'Brien as the Rat dude on NXT.
Brodus being on NXT, on tv as Del Rio's enforcer, getting pulled off, getting vignettes, then becoming the Funkasaurus.
