Worst Gimick Ever!!!!!!!!

Soul Crusher said:
The whole thing with Brock Lesnar in particular was disturbing - I'm not sure if you remember that. I think that may be how they wrote Zach Gowen off. Probably the fact that watching him take a bump really made you wince is the reason why he didn't last too long.


I do remember. And yes it was disturbing. The kid did have guts, and Vince is always ready for a shock value storyline. But, that was almost too much.
 
There have been soo many bad gimmicks.The Goon,Waylon Mercy,Beaver Cleavage,there was a wrestling plummer,smash as a professional golfer,the worst ever has to be when Brutus Beefcake was part off the dungeon of doom as the Zodiac Man.That was terrible
 
dude..TL Hopper...eating the wet log of crap from the pool at SummerSlam 96...man I have been watching this stuff for too long...
 
I really hated the middle of the Eddie Guerrero heel gimmick. At the start and end it was pretty good, how they got him into the gimmick with Rey, then they had him with Batista, but all that grap with Dominic was really too much.
 
Does anyone remember the feud in WCW between the Disco Inferno and the dancing German Alex Wright.....those were some pretty bad gimmicks
 
The Basham Brother Anything With Rey Mysterio He Is Not A High Flyer Even Any More And The Eddie Gurreo Angle Was Very Distastefull I Do How Ever Have To Say Mula And Mae Young Groooooooooooossssssss A_s Sizzzzit
 
TL Hopper...Aldo Montoya the Portuguese Man-O War...Avatar...UMAGA

The worse gimmick is the spirit squad. Who ass wipe thought that up? 5 grown ass men running around with pompoms. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of!!
 
Oklahoma. That dude making fun of Jim Ross on WCW back in the day. That shit was just mean. I laughed but it was just horrible.

Ed Leslie is on there 5 times. You have to feel sorry for that man.
 
I think you would really have to specify which Doink you are adding to the list. Matt Borne did a wonderful job as the original evil Doink. When it got passed around and was eventually given Dink, then yes, it deserves to be on this list.

Yes, Sparly Plugg is a good one. I mean, Vince must have thought he was a pure genius to give us a race car driver named Thurman "Sparky" Plugg.

Oh, should we add Akeem The African Dream on there??? Vince basically killed the One Man Gang and repacked him in a parking lot voodoo ceremony with Slick. Wham bam, thank you ma'am, we get Akeem.

And is just me, or was the Papa Shango gimmick a lame one too?
 
The Dicks

The Miz (total dork)

Katie Vick

Kane and Lita, Kane and Tori

Carlito is getting very stale and annoying

DDP the stalker

Chyna

Too many to list.....
 
Come on, Gillberg was a spoof character. Kind of like what the Oklahoma character in WCW was to Jim Ross, or what the BWO was to the NWO. They were all quite humorous.

I agree that they were all hilarious as all hell!

Oklahoma: "Pinata, Pinata, Pinata!"

Gillberg: Him getting lost backstage, his groans, His mock entrance with the sparklers courtesy of the Job Squad, the fire extinguisher that would knock him around, and most of all, the fake "GILLBERG! GILLBERG!" chants that were played on the sound system in the arena. That was classic! I wish they would bring him back.

BWO: Blue Meanie isn't funny and kind of annoying but Richards and Nova are the true comedians of that stable. Watching Nova performing the leg drop in a clumsy way along with the Hogan mannerisms are what make it truly one ofthe greatest. The Orlando Jordan afro spoof? Hilarious!

How come they aren't a permanent fixture in WWE? What the hell?
