I have to go with the Ding Dongs, has to be the stupidest tag team ever, I don't even know how someone conceived the idea. It consisted of two guys dressed in ridiculous masked costumes named Ding and Dong and when one was on the outside of the ring, they rang this bell they brought with them to the ringside.
Also the Yeti of the Dungeon of Doom with his hug of death, which looked more like he was humping Hogan, that stole the show at Halloween Havoc 95. He was huge and wrapped in cloth/toliet paper and resembled a mummy more than a Yeti. He broke out of an iceberg on Nitro. Wrestlers who break out of icebergs equal workrate.

The John Cena white gangster BS they had him doing earlier on and during his US title reign. I think that his deforming the WWE Title in the way he did was bad enough, but for him to be trying to rap and all that trash was just terrible. At least now they have him basically off of that so Im starting to at least tolerate him, but he basically needs to give up the 5 knuckle shuffle and maybe get some actual wrestling attire and Ill respect him more. So by far the worst gimmick recently was his White Gangster wanna be rapper thing they had going on.

It's good to be back!
IMO eugene character SUX, its OK for the little kids on the arena and stuff, but, seriously, the gimmick it's getting old and more boring than ever, acting like a ******? i agree about the Nick Densmore persona, could be good for his career and self esteem.

The Eugene gimick, I feel bad for the guy that's actually having to play as a ******, especially when he came from a good reputation (provided I'm not mistaken), it's totally degrading for the guy.
The "500 Pound Love Machine" Viscera. I'm sorry, but I don't watch wrestling to watch a very fat man spank his opponent's ass then hump the guy. That's just something I don't need to see.
The mama's boy Shelton Benjamin gimmick was pretty damn bad too - he's so deserving and gets put with something like that. The way J.R. and King talked about his mama and hardly ever him sickened me.
There are so many others too ... they need a new creative team.

GIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLBERRRRRG (Gillberg)
Goldberg is bad enough, but they had to bring in a guy pretending to be Goldberg? The gimmick reminds me of when I was a kid and my friend tried to act like Goldberg when we had backyard wrestling matches. Awful.
Currently the worst gimmick HAS to be Jillian Hall's singer gimmick... ugh.

Let's see. Any minority that Vince gets his hands on turns out to be a bad gimmick and is down right insulting. Let's run them down a little.
Every Samoan gimmick ever played out in the WWE. And remember, they tried to do The Rock with one when he first came in.
Every Mexican gimmick that they ever did in the WWE. And having them ride out on lawnmowers or being called "Latino Heat" is just as bad as having someone call themselves "Jose the Orange Picker Lopez" or something like that.
And African American gimmick. Nation of Domination, Kamala, Flash Funk, Rodney Mac, Teddy Long. Pretty much anything ethinic such as Cryme Tyme. And noticed how they felt a need to misspell the name whrn they gave it to them.
Why do all the asians have to to Kung Fu of some kind or blow mist? Why do all the mexicans have to be high flyers? Why do all of the African americans need to be willing to cheat or dance?
Why? Cuz Vince McMahon is very racially unaware. You wouldn't see Chris Master pushed as a polish wrestler, so why push the racial aspects of the minorities? Shameful.

Im not being racist here but the asian mist stuff has been used for years by Tajiri, he used it in ECW, I think he used it in Japan is well, the Great Muta did it originally. The ones they give a martial arts type gimmick is actually because that is the style of moves that they have been using previously.
Actually you are being ignorant of other wrestling styles, Lucha is a very high flying style with technique being an important aspect. But agree with Cryme tyme but it is a parody of a stereotype that people have, Vince is exploiting it, so what. As for Kamala, he was doing his gimmick well before he even got anywhere close to WWF, he is still doing the gimmick in the Indies so he is not a good example. The Nation of Domination was a parody of the Nation of Islam, Remember that this started during the attitude era, its point was to be edgy and on th border of crossing the line.

Hey Yo!
There was also Hugh Morris' group in WCW when he went by the name General Rection. There was also Major Gunns and a few others. Horrible.
But now I loved Ernest Miller. He was always funny as hell I thought and would have liked to see him go somewhere in the WWF. Some also would say Norman Smiley was bad but I liked him too, as well as Disco Inferno.

One of the woorst gimmicks i have ever seen was when they tried to put over eddie guerrero as Dominicks(reys sons) dad. It ended up in a ladder match for the custody papers. This just made eddies character disliked by the majority of fans and really did nothing at all to help reys. The match itself was a good one but the gimmick was absolutly ridiculous
LipstickAndBruises
cuz cute girls like wrestling too
The Oddities? a bunch of "weird" wrestlers led by Luna. That was LAME.
Disco Inferno. Just dumb and odd. Generally any "time period" gimmick sucks, like Deuce and Domino now.
Super Molly, although I love her. That gimmick was just dumb.
Umaga is pretty bad, mostly because of them acting like he needs a "handler"...and doesnt understand things ect.
The Mae Young / Mark Henry pregnancy thing. I dont even need to explain why thats stupid.
Vader...it wasent so much dumb just...unfinished / pointless I think.

I can't believe this threat went so long without mentioning the worst gimmick ever! Do-Rag McMahon! Or any other time Vince has decided he wanted to be black (Vince and Cena talking backstage at a PPV a few years ago, Vince called Cena a N*gger, Booker T said "Tell me he didn't just say that). I don't much like any of Vinces Gimmicks other than the Boss. When he's black, when he's "Out of his mind" (Although he plays it so well), and now the worst gimmick of all time, the "I'm Dead, pity me" gimmick. With the recent passing of Sensasion Sherri, I find what Vince is doing to be just disrespectful. They should have brought him back to life asap because of that.

Certain gimmicks worked for certain times. In the late 80's to early 90's were all about characters, both in WCW and WWE. Id say some of today gimmicks are so bad, that they actually fit more for that time period, for example.....
The Highlanders- a weak attempt at mixing the Bushwackers and The Bezerker, from the 80's
Umaga- an amalgam of Kamala and Haku, straight 80's
The Boogeyman- a rehashing of Papa Shango, again, would fit in that time period
here are some other dumb @$$ gimmicks.......

Matt Striker
The Gobbedly Gooker
The Red Rooster
Minotaur
Isaac Yankem
WCW
Glacier
Wrath
Mortis

here is a gimmick that i think needs to be repackaged, or evolved or something........
Kane!- Here is someone who since 1998 has had the same damn gimmick with no evolution really. Okay so he can talk and he lost his mask. So what, the whole idea of him still being the abused monster, brother to the Undertaker needs to move along. I thought maybe with the Fake Kane guy they were gonna try and do this. But no, instead we still get the raise my arms and make fire come out of the ring posts. Glen Jacobs has definately put in enough time and service to be allowed to evolve "Kane" into something. He's always in the main event/mid card area. He could do something to the effect where he comes out in street clothes and proclaims that he aint a monster no more and that he has evolved into a man, and then take off from there. Until they do something new with him that aint "May 19th!", Kane will continue to suck!

The worst gimmick? Wow. There have been some terrible ones: Harry "Beaver" Cleavage,TL Hopper (the fat plumber), Duke "The Dumpster" Droese, Bastion Booger, etc.
Terry Taylor's Red Rooster gets my vote. How can the guy turn down the "Mr. Perfect" role and yet say yes to painting a red flock on top of his hair and saying in an interview, "I'm not nobody, I am somebody. I am the Red Rooster. Ar ar ar ar ar (rooster caw)" That is simply...abysmal.

Without a shadow of a doubt....the worse gimmick of all time was Heidenreich.....he was a horrible wrestler, had no personality, no mic skills, no charasma, no anything, and the only reason they kept him around was probaby because he was a nice guy backstage and they felt sorry for him. God, even his tag title reign with Road Warror Animal was beyond terrible, too, because all they did was squash little no name cruiserweights with like 2 moves in 2 second matches....and it lasted for awhile, too. Heidenreich.....good ridance to that garbage......

Going on 10 years with WrestleZone
I start with Skinner, "The Alligator Man." Some dude with a scruffy beard who chewed tobacco and wrestled alligators in the everglades. Terrible stuff. Didn't last long at all.
Snitsky. Where is this going!? He's like a poor man's Albert, complete with the acne. Make the big man a monster - how original.
Waylon Mercy. Actually holds his debut win over Matt Hardy. He was obviously patterned after Jack Nicholson's character in "The Shining."
The Quebecers. Ok, Canadian team, I get it. Changing Jacques Rougeau's theme song "The Mountie" into "We're not the Mounties" was one of those "oh shit, I totally forgot theme music and they debut in 10 minutes" kind of moments.
Anything Charles Williams did before The Godfather. Papa Shango!? I got freaked when he made the Ultimate Warrior puke when I was 8. You know why I was freaked? BECAUSE I WAS 8! And let's not forget "The Ultimate Fighting Machine - Kama!" You'd figure WWE learned that lesson, but NOPE here comes Sylvester Terkay.
Honorable mention goes to Harvey Wippleman as the women's champ, Adam Bomb (I bet that went over huge in Japan), Repo Man, Blacktop Bully, and the Death of Owen Hart. Such a work.

While I still stand by my choice of the Red Rooster as worst gimmick of all time, let's not forget why: not only did Taylor turn down what ended up going to Henning, (Mr. Perfect) he was also feuding with the Brooklyn Brawler at the time. This HAS to qualify as the worst ever--Terry Taylor couldn't have gone lower without being buried alive.
Honorable mention goes to The Juicer--anybody remember this dolt? Like Beetlejuice if he were starved for a couple weeks, deprived of sleep, and put in a vat of powder. Ughh.
I also think The old Hurricaine and Rosey were horrid, but the way Rock called them Hamburglar and Grimace was pretty funny, lol.

Undertaker

I think its just silly. I think that The Undertaker should be the only one allowed to retain this gimmick as he pretty much started it off. But tone it down. Damn, can a dude really make lightning come down when he wants it to? no he cant! I think The Undertaker was most popular when he was The American Baddass.
-I really dont think there are such things as vampires. the way they handled the whole Kevin Thorn/Ariel thing was decent though. They didnt say they were vampires like in the past, they made them followers of Vampirism
-If the youre the Boogeyman and youre comin to get me, why are you in a wrestling ring with a midget? I wonder if they thought of this character and actually thought he was gonna scare someone
death to all supernatural gimmicks, except Undertaker
