The 1-2-3 Kid
He was better known in later years as X-Pac, but the 1-2-3 Kid was a pretty successful character in his own right, and had a big feud with the one and only Razor Ramon, before later being taken under his wing. He won the tag team titles with Marty Jannetty while under that guise, but left for WCW before coming back as X-Pac a few years later.
Perry Saturn
Saturn is not too obscure, but he certainly had a varied career in the WWE after joining with a few of WCW's biggest stars Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. Memorably, there was a brief period where he was involved in a romantic relationship with a mop.
Kamala
According to his character's bio, Kamala was a warrior/savage from Uganda, who was so unpredictable that no one knew what his next move was going to be. He used to bodyguard for Idi Amin (former president of Uganda) too apparently, and he had a decent run with feuds against The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan, although he never got any gold around his ample waist. In this clip, one of his "handlers", The Reverend Slick, teaches him how to bowl in an effort to civilise him a bit.

Irwin R. Schyster (a.k.a IRS)
Back in the day, the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase had quite a posse at his disposal, one of whom was muscle-bound numbers man Irwin R. Schyster, who we presume was in charge of looking after (cooking) the books for the big man and the two even claimed tag team glory together. Here's some helpful tax advice from the big man, who we assume really knew his stuff.
The Brooklyn Brawler
He was a bit rough and tumble, but the Brawler knew how to fight. He learned it from the mean streets of Brooklyn, and Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan introduced him to the world, claiming that despite his disheveled appearance, he could make anyone a star. He never had any particularly big successes but he was a crowd favourite, especially when he appeared at a WWE event in Brooklyn in 2012 after a few years out of the ring.

The Bushwhackers
Hailing from New Zealand, the Bushwhackers were made up of cousins Luke and Butch. Their behaviour was eccentric and their entrance was certainly something to behold. Perhaps they remain one of our favourites because they never got to clinch the title, but they were great entertainment value, as evidenced by this interview with the timeless Mean Gene Okerlund

Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake
Best remembered as the tag team partner of Hulk Hogan, he claimed to be about two things only: cuttin' and struttin'. We're not sure about going to him for a haircut seeing as he used mostly a garden shears, but he was one seriously tough guy outside the ring. He was nearly killed in a parasailing accident at the height of his fame in the WWF, but came back to the ring after two years out, several surgeries and, according to the WWE, eight titanium plates, 32 screws and 100 feet of steel wire holding his face together. Here's him and the Hulkster handing out some of the Million Dollar Man's ill-gotten gains to the crowd at Wrestlemania.
