Wrestling characters we never actually saw

[Aceorton]

Over the years, wrestlers and commentators have sometimes regularly referred to people (treated as real humans and not imaginary friends like Little Jimmy) who never appeared on screen but were still part of the canon. Usually they were relatives, and sometimes they played an actual part in angles.

Examples:

• Big Boss Man's mother
• Mama Cornette
• A "real" Sister Abigail in WWE (not Bray in costume)
• Hillbilly Jim's granny
• Miss Betty, receptionist/personal assistant to Bobby Heenan (constant running gag on Prime Time)
  
• Various relatives and friends of Blackjack Mulligan

Who else? I feel like there must be several others.

Joey Numbers, who Tazz constantly referred to.

This may be a fever dream speaking, but I feel like there was an episode of Prime Time where Boss Man's mom actually did show up and smacked Heenan around a bit.

Big Daddy Dudley. The patriarch of the Dudley clan.

Never saw it, but apparently there was a "At Home With Hillbilly Jim" segment on a Coliseum video where we saw Hillbilly's Granny. How about the Dr. Papoofnick who Captain Lou Albano referred to constantly?

Whoa, you're right about Granny:

I don't think we met Papoofnick. We did meet Dr. Sigmund Ziff, the doctor who performed electroshock therapy on George Steele.

Big Show's dad, not to be confused with The Giant's dad, who was the legendary Andre the Giant.

We only ever saw his coffin.

I think Willie was shown during the early days of the MSP.

Swing by her house and show her his lance corporal.

Which would actually be smaller and lower in rank than sgt.
