Who is this "Kizarny" coming to Smackdown?

For the last couple of weeks on Smackdown, creepy vignettes (one of which you can view the end of this entry) have aired during the broadcast that show various shots of people at carnivals as carnival music plays in the background and then, a deranged man with blonde hair (who appears as a cross between Chris Jericho and Johnny Devine with Captain Jack Sparrow facial hair) appears and says his name is "Kizarny" and begins speaking in Carny tongue.

These vignettes, which most fans have said are both creepy and interesting, have led to people wanting to know more about this "Kizarny" individual. His real name is Nick Cvjetkovich (pictured above) but is better known as "The Carnival Freak" Sinn Bowdee from Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) official developmental territory.

In addition, Cvjetkovich, who has been under WWE development since July 2007 after spending nine-years on the independent scene, was featured in the Nov. 2008 issue of WWE Magazine, along with several other FCW prospects, and it was stated that Cvjetkovich is a self-described anarchist hippie who once slept in his car when it was 20-degrees below zero en route from Nova Scotia to Tijuana for a match. Cvjetkovich is also an avid artist, designing every tattoo on his body.

For fun, Cvjetkovich had this to say to WWE Magazine, "For stuff and giggles, I'll walk into a Waffle House wearing a pink bunny t-shirt and eyeliner just to see what happens. I'm a really peaceful, playful guy, but if people make eye contact, they shrink in their seats. If I can scare people doing that, then I'm bringing something to the table."
