** Wrestling/{{Sable}}, Wrestling/LunaVachon and Music/InsaneClownPosse all abandoned the group, thus depriving the Oddities (by now Golga, Wrestling/{{Kurrgan}}, [[Wrestling/GiantSilva the Giant Silva]] and [[Wrestling/GeorgeSteele George "The Animal" Steele]]) of anyone who could cut promos for them.

** The Oddities were there for Steele's match against Droz, which Droz won after [[HoistByHisOwnPetard ramming Steele's head into the exposed turnbuckle]] in 48 seconds. Droz defeated Kurrgan a week later after a broomstick shot to the throat from the outside in 1:53. Giant Silva never faced him on the ring, but he was attacked by Droz and beaten down with a chair.

** [[Wrestling/DonCallis The Jackyl]] put together [[Wrestling/RonSimmons the]] [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield Acolytes]], who, of course, joined Wrestling/TheUndertaker's Wrestling/MinistryOfDarkness, on his way out of the company.
** Wrestling/{{Sable}}, Wrestling/LunaVachon and Music/InsaneClownPosse all abandoned the group, thus depriving the Oddities (by now Golga, Wrestling/{{Kurrgan}}, [[Wrestling/GiantSilva the Giant Silva]] and [[Wrestling/GeorgeSteele George "The Animal" Steele]]) of anyone who could cut promos for them.
** They got stuck on the weekend {{B Show}}s, ''Jakked[=/=]Metal'' and ''Sunday Night Heat'', in an endless feud with Wrestling/TheHeadbangers before going into an even more directionless one against [[Characters/WWETagTeams Too Much (Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor) and the DOA (8-Ball and Skull)]]. With nobody cutting promos and no explanation given for why they were feuding in the first place, the Oddities were essentially being buried on their way out the door. Also, as the product grew darker and harsher via Wrestling/VinceRusso, the Oddities looked, well, even more out of place than they had before.
** On the January 25, 1999 ''Raw,'' the Oddities were in the ring and the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson the Rock]] came out and threatened all four guys at once. Granted, it's the Rock, but, ''still'', ONLY in pro wrestling would you see a situation where one regular sized guy on his own could threaten four guys whose combined weight was close to 1 1/2 TONS, and the ''four guys'' would be the ones at the disadvantage.
