Following on from the unbridled success of the TNA Randomers thread, here it is, by popular demand, 'Remembering the Randomers: WWE Edition'.
ITT: We celebrate the many and varied complete randomers that have came and gone, to no great success, throughout WWF/E history.
Post a picture of your chosen randomer (the more random the better) along with a little write-up of their finest WWE moments (if you can be bothered).

Todd Pettengill
***
Michael Cole's hero, Todd Pettengill, was a WWF backstage interviewer of the mid-90s.
He made his debut as host of TV show 'WWF Mania' in 1993 and went on to host a series of similarly unforgettable shows such as 'WWF LiveWire', 'WWF Blast Off' and the 'WWF Action Zone'.
Pettengill was one of many announcers, throughout WWE history, to be subjected to a wide variety of indignities. Pettengill-aholics will recall him being forced to wear a toga, along with the rest of the crew, at Wrestlemania IX and also opening the 1996 Slammys with a singing performance.
Todd made his final WWF appearance at SummerSlam '97 (a card headlined by a classic Undertaker vs. Bret Hart bout) bringing his four year run to an end.
Whether or not Pettengill's firing was the direct cause of the late 90s wrestling boom is still the subject of much debate to this day.

Glad you made it.
