Giant Gonzalez was definitely in the top 10 worst ever. Other than being tall he brought absolutely no skill to the ring. He could barely even execute a chokeslam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO9MfPZwXSU

The WWF magazine (or at least a newsstand owner putting out an issue a few weeks early) was responsible for my 11 year old brain's realization moment 'This stuff is predetermined!' finally happening. It was right after Mabel won the King of the Ring, and was placed as the top challenger to Diesel for Summerslam 95. It was probably early/-mid August and the event wasnt for a few weeks, and I was in a shop perusing the latest issue of WWF magazine, which apparently was shipped out many weeks ahead of time. In it, there was an article all about Diesel's big defeat of Mabel at Summerslam. I was around 11 years old and had already had an inclination at that point that it was put together, but this was the proverbial spilling of the beans.
