Okay, this one takes a bit of explaining. Years
and years ago, a young Glen Jacobs tried several gimmicks while in the
Memphis area. One was the short-lived masked monster Christmas Creature.
However, most of the time, he wrestled without a mask, under the names
Doomsday and Unibomb. The funny thing is, he started out as Unibomb
under a mask.

Here
he is after he took off the mask. This pic is actually Jacobs
as Unibomb, but it just as easily be of his original Doomsday
gimmick.
Well, to make
a long story difficult, McMahon came a'calling, and Jacobs went
on to becom Isaac Yankem, DDS.
After that
gimmick flopped, and WWF hotshot Kevin "Diesel" Nash
had gone to WCW, Jacobs was given yet another chance, this time
as the New Diesel...
That gimmick
failed as well. This time, Jacobs and his tag partner Richard
Bogner, who was the New Razor Ramon, were sent to Jacob's old
stomping grounds of the USWA. There, they split up and engaged
in a feud. To end the war, they took part in a loser-leaves-town
match, which the New Diesel proceeded to lose.
However, just
after he left, a mysterious masked man showed up. He had Jacobs's
hair. He had Jacobs's old name. He even had his old Unibomb outfit.

Like any "banned
wrestler returns under a mask" angle, it didn't last long. Soon after,
Jacobs was given one more shot in the WWF, this time finally breaking
the bad-gimmick barrier and becoming Kane.
But, jeez louweez,
who the hell was dressing him in Memphis????
