Just one more character to show off...and this guy got pushed straight to the moon for well over a year.
Yokozuna had his best year in 1993 and 1994. He would beat Bret "The Hit Man" Hart for the WWF Championship months after his debut on the October 31, 1992 episode of Superstars, having the first match in the history of WWE Raw against Koko B. Ware and winning the 1993 Royal Rumble. He would lose the title to the returning Hulk Hogan, regain it from Hogan in Hogan's last televised match for nine years at King of the Ring thanks to a fireball from a photographer's camera, and hold it until WrestleMania 10 when he would lost it back to Bret after slipping off the ropes during the Banzai Drop. In the meantime, he would be the first opponent from Lex Luger's sudden face turn (which I still want to think was meant for Hogan). Afterwards, he would never reach those heights again, though he would be a tag team champion with Bret's brother "The King of Harts" Owen Hart.
