Xanta Claus was a gimmick of Jonathan Rechner, better known as Balls Mahoney.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Following the lengthy tradition of hilariously bad wrestler gimmicks, Vince McMahon one day decided he wanted an evil Santa wrestler. He subsequently developed the subject of Xanta Claus - Santa's evil brother who is from the South Pole instead of the North Pole and steals presents instead of delivering them.
Through various circumstances and Smoky Mountain Wrestling's Jim Cornette, McMahon came into contact with Jonathan Rechner. The latter agreed to take the unusual role, seeing it as a major career boost after his early years in local circuits. As with most joke gimmicks, however, that of Xanta Claus was short-lived: Rechner only made a couple of appearances before leaving WWF and joining Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) to build up his current character as Balls Mahoney.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Xanta Klaus solely fought in 8chanmania IX, and nothing beyond him not winning a belt there is known.
