Worst gimmick of all time

[Raging Bull]

i bet you're part of KKK you freak!!! you gonna stab me with your ****** knife

 

[wwe2006]

Can you people grow up and get back on topic? Another gimmick I didn't really like was Chris Masters and his Masterlock crap...it still sucks.

 

[Noodlicious promiscuous]

^ OK racist.

 

[Lee]

Yeah whoever said RTC was a rubbish gimmick, I think you are wrong. It lent my backyard gimmick for a while, tehir gimmick was good because it worked.

It's for your own good!

 

[Code Red]

Max Moon: Believe it or not, that's the man we all know today as Konnan! Quite the change, I must say.

Bob "Spark Plug" Holly: He's on the list of wrestlers that underwent name changes. The Viking / The Berzerker. MVP / Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz. Holly originally wrestled in the WWE as a race car driver under the name Thurman "Sparky" Plugg! One of the worst names for a wrestler ever - I'm shocked he's still around, but that's a testament to his in-ring ability.

-Isaac Yankem
-Beaver Cleavage
-Eugene
-Rockabilly
-Jesse James "The real double J" that used to sing that country song on the way to the ring.
-Gangrel/The Brood
-The Body Donnas (after Sunny left)

 

[Totally Crazy]

I agree with everything starting at "Also there is:" but the Boogeyman? Hardly. I actually like the Boogeyman; Very entertaining character: now his wrestling is not that great but the gimmick is actually very over with the crowd and I know I tune to smackdown to see what weird stunt he is going to pull next. Maybe the weirdest gimmich but certainly far from the worst. I would like to Add Vito to your list by the way; No matter how many wins u gave him he was never going to amount to anything with a dress on.

i cant see the boogeyman as any thing but a one note joke. did he really have to get krystal and tony chimmelle?having him beat booker t and JBL for heatdidnt help smackdown and now he's killing helmes, smackdown's best kept secret.

that kiss character from wcw .. his name is dale torborg and his character was the kiss demon.. i liked the character.. i would have liked to see the character carried further... but wwe had to be ***holes and buy wcw

 

[St. Joe]

i cant belive nobody has said spirit squad... male cheerleaders..really

 

[inragedflames]

There has been alot of bad gimmicks...like

Van Hammer
Just Joe (remember that from Heat!)
I always though the Headbangers was crap
American Bad ass undertaker.
Perry saturns moppy gimmick.
ROBOCOP!!! coming to WCW
Naked mideon or just mideon
Never like mark henry's sexual chocolate gimmick and his worlds strongest man, "lets make every underused wrestler we cant find a use for on smackdown involved with gettin him to do challenges for fun" gimmick.

Uhh....ICP, JBL, The hollywood blondes, Brutus "the barber" Beefcake.....i dont know there is loads of crap that has been and gone and is still running in WWE and will run for years to come.

WHAT!!?? that and his big Evil Gimmick were his best gimmicks. American Bad Ass Taker started to resemble the man who plays undertaker and Big Evil was his best because it resembled the Real Undertaker(mark Calaway).

The worst are

" The rated R superstar" (Edge's current gimmick)
and "The Canadian Cry baby" Christain gimmick

 

[Abyss]

EUGENE. Imagine this: Hey we want you to come wrestle for WWE.

2 months later: Ok, your first storyline will be a person who thinks they're 'special' and resembles a ******. This could also be offensive to some people.

 

[BigBadBernie]

I was always a fan of Repo Man, and Disco Inferno. One gimmic I never really did like was Waylon Mercy.

 

[Senilechile]

All of the worst gimmicks I can think of have been mentioned, but what generally makes me cringe are some of the storylines, such as Vincent Kennedy McMahon's participation in the following:-

Jim Ross' Operation

The recent Trump/O'Donnell skit

Shawn Michaels and God vs McMahons

"Kiss my ass club"

The Trish Stratus degregation of 2001

The McMahon family angles

There are other pointless and embarrassing angles/gimmicks that I could mention (such as Katie Vick, Eugene, Cena, etc. ), but my point is that the omnipotent VKM (as good as he is at business) should understand that his ideas of funny and interesting (especially the mooted incest storyline between himself and daughter Stephanie) are unprofessional in context, completely out of touch with society and the average fan and (more importantly) not shocking/controversial, just stupid. His best angles (DX, Attitude-era, Hogan, the evolution of Stone Cold) have been derived from other's ideas. There is nothing wrong with that and the WWE should play to this strength, yet McMahon's ego gets in the way and ultimately harms the business and avid fans' patience.

 

[Low_Ki]

The Ringmaster was just awful, I'm so happy that Austin managed to pull through that one. Also Nailz was a pretty horrible in ring performer. I also didn't really like the works of Virgil. And the Rosie/Trump skit, quite possibly the worst skit in the last two years.

 

[HellBoundPower]

Without a doubt it would have to be Heidenreich's "I want you to be my friend" gimmick. The guy was a horrible wrestler in general, and mix his badass appearance with a happy, kid loving character, and you just have a horrible enough gimmick to make me want to vomit.

 

[ExtremeIronChef]

The Mountie was pretty bad as was the fake Undertaker.

 

[Bernkastel]

I didn't like like the fake kane storyline. I'm a huge kane fan, but I thought the fake kane was gay.

To be quite honest anybody involved in a storyline with kane I immediately think are stupid, whether i like them are not.

also

billy and chuck... gay
rico second run... gay
trump vs rosie... looked so stupid that didn't even watch it
executioner wwe ... sucked ass
spanky aka brian kendrick ... much better off where he is now
molly holly bald ... now that was just demeaning, no wonder she quit

 

[bigd22]

how about road dog as the "roadie"..
justin credible as "The Portugese Man-O-War" Aldo Mondoya..
the fake undertaker,kane,big daddy cool. and razor those were all stupid. but i liked aldo haha...
skip and zip the bodydonnas...
the job squad....
lex lugar as the Narcisist...
IRS but he had some decent matches...
Bertha Faye....
Kwang...
Los Boricuas..
blue blazer...
The Executioner...
The Twin Towers....
Mean Street Posse.
Men on a Mission.
Jean Pierre Lafitte.
New Rockers.
Lief Cassitty.
theres so many more out there..

 

[Downward Spiral]

Any gimmick that doesn't get over with the fans, gets stale or is utterly stupid or pointless are candidates for the worst gimmick. However I have a feeling that one like Eugene is one of the worst. Turning him heel only worsens the gimmick. You cannot boo a mentally challenged wrestler, even if you know that he is not really that way. It is not ethical, yet the WWE have done it to him. Another one I know is the Hurricane. Any superhero gimmick is usually lame and this one was no exception. Sure, mostly kids and a few adults cheered for him but they should have kept it realistic instead of over-the-top. I read about the Shockmaster and that sounded pretty bad, especially when the mask fell off. There have been some stinkers, but I can't really recall many before 2000. Boogeyman is another. Just trying to attract the kids with a stupid, pointless gimmick. Vito's crossdressing one is downright awful and a terrible career move by him (I don't know if he actually does that in real life but it would seem that no one in their right mind would agree to do something like that unless they enjoy doing it.) Most of these are creativity gone wrong but they are creative nonetheless.

 

[killagrilla]

a bad gimmick is the kevin thorne gimmick seriously why the hell do u need a vampire i mean seriously anyway i think hes a good wrestler he needs a new gimmick tho like idk uhm not a vampire

 

[hxctalent]

The Mounties, hands down...also The Zombie, Macho Libre, and that Stripper Dick....he haunts my nightmares, hah!

 

[Cerebral_Assassin]

The whole marine gimmick with john cena.I think he was better as a heel and when he was the phony white rapper.I hate when he does tha salute.Why would you salute your oppenent?

 

[Sir_Moe_The_1st]

I'm glad someone finally mentioned a cena gimmick. Ive hated cena since day one, but the current "IMA SOLJA!!!!! YAAA -salutes-" just annoys me, worse than his hip hop wigger gimmick. Can't wait till he's on sunday night heat on a regular basis.
But to stay on topic, im suprised no one's mentioned that short lived "Ernest the Cat Miller" gimmick. "SOMEBODY CALL MY MOMMA!" damnit, it was more than annoying, and i think he danced more than he actually wrestled.
Also the Stuttering Matt Morgan gimmick. Self explanitory as to why this gimmick was horrible.

 

[titans1]

john cenas marine and white rapper gimmick sucks.
the best is probably the undertaker being evil
it never gets old!

LOL I was skeptical of the goth, punk and industrial people when I first started watching wrestling, since I'm an industrial freak myself (which normal people mistake for being a goth! lol). But I've gotten used to it and it's pretty cool that they have freaky people like me on.
