[wwe1581]

could have already been mentioned but Glacier who was supposed to be a Mortal Kombat character i guess

Warlord when he was with Slick i never really understood what his outfit was supposed to signify he had a sword with a big 'W' at the top

Dean Douglas a teacher gimmick but he just couldn't pull that character off Matt Striker's doing the same thing now

Outback Jack was the worst though those skits sucked of him coming to America

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Bar-none, the worst gimmick of all time.. Mr. America!

How on earth did Hulk Hogan agree to do this? I'll admit I never truly had a huge amount of love for Hogan to begin with, as I'm just not a fan of "no-selling." But come on, this gimmick by far almost ran the name "Hogan" into the ground, as it was completely ridiculous. And I'm still shaking my head as to wondering why Hogan ever agreed to do this gimmick.

 

[Ptd]

I agree with that. I totally forgot about him. You alsoo can put into consideration Giant Gonzakez...I dont know how he got a Wrestlemania match withTaker. I think that Hornswoggle is pretty out there.

For what its worth, I'm down on Khali A LOT, but back in the day.. I loved the thought of Undertaker v. Giant Gonzalez. I know NOW that it was awful, & I'm unaware of how the match even made two different big named p.p.v.'s. (WM IX & Summerslam 93) But all in all, I still like him better than Khali.

And Hornswoggle isn't bad, he's amusing for what he's there for. Him having the cruiserweight Championship pretty much shows you what McMahon thinks of his cruiserweights, but outside of that.. Hornswoggle is entertaining.

 

[The Pez]

While it gave him TV time, I've gotta say that Burchill's pirate gimmick was pretty bad.

I read somewhere that Burchill basically imitated Johnny Depp's "Jack Sparrow" because he wasn't sure how to play the character.

 

[Papa Shango]

Matt Morgan's Stuttering gimmick. I don't how they thought people wouldn't remember Matt Morgan from Team Lesnar, then coming back a year later repackaged with speech impediment. At least with Goldust we saw why he was messed up. SO glad he was gone within like three months.

 

[Agrex]

Kevin Fertig, better known as Kevin Thorn had his share of ******ed gimmicks. His first WWE gimmick was Mordecai which was pretty f'n stupid, he was trying to rid the earth of sin and had a horrible feud with Undertaker. His current vampire gimmick is bad, he's kind of boring now without Ariel, but it's still not as bad as Mordecai. He is a pretty decent wrestler, but is stuck with these stupid gimmicks.

 

[greatgazoo19]

I can't BELIEVE nobody mentioned Triple H in his debut gimmick of the American Blueblood Hunter Hearst Helmsley. In hindsight, it turned out to be true (he's a semi-McMahon after all) but at the time he was a guy who came to the ring wearing riding pants and carrying a riding crop. Come to think of it, his costume at Wrestlemania was pretty silly as well. He looked like Gonad the Barbarian.

 

[greatgazoo19]

I also forgot to mention the worst current gimmick, that of Jim... err I mean John Morrison. As a fan of the real Lizard King (not to mention the Doors) I absolutely despise the idea of his likeness being used as a gimmick. I know it's only implied that he's supposed to be Jim Morrison, but it still makes me angry. Jim Morrison must be rolling in his grave.

 

[KyleCobra]

im pretty sure nobody mentioned DDP's motivational therapist gimmick..pretty bad..

haha and Just Joe sounds soo fmailiar if someone could remind me..

the tag team of LowDown (dlo and chaz) was awful..

The Bashams gimmick with that chick that won Tough Enough..the bondage thing..terrible

Too Cool I always thougt was just dumb and annoying



i couldnt find the thread but..best gimmick ever....Dragon Dragon

 

[pettit]

Eugene's gimmick was dispicible. All he did was have a little hulk burst in his match the point the finger and loose... One other thing he does is shoot t-shirts into the crowd during commersial breaks

 

[rockofhysteria]

Oh man Ive been waiting to see this thread there have been some bad gimmicks in the past and present but here are my pics for the worst of all time.


Mr. America Hogan was already lame enough in 2002-2003 but the whole Mr. America Thing was even worse.

Deuce and Domino I feel sorry for this team great team great matches just lousy gimmick.

Yokozuna- this gimmick proved how dumb some wrestling fans can get(I do include myself i fell for it also) wwe actually got some to believe a samoan could pass for japanese.

Superstar Billy Graham(Karate Master)- I'm willing to give him a pass for this cause he inspired so many but this was one truly bad gimmick,

Blues(Greg Valentine with black hair when he teamed with Honky Tonk Man)- He just looked rediculous.

DDP Motivational speaker- Leave it to Vince to Ruin a great wrestler like DDP.

Hacksaw Jimm Duggan(Team Canada Member) Need I Say More

Mark Henry(Sewxual Chocolate) He was supposedly bangin Mae Young( Need I Say More


Dean Douglas(Shane Douglas) again leave it to wwe to take a great wrestler like shane douglas and ruin him for everyone.

Oz Blaster Master Steele Vinnie Vegas(Kevin Nash) Oh man it would take too long to type the reasons these gimmicks sucked.

Simon Dean(Mike "Nova" Bucci) I feel sorry for mike ive hung out with him a couple of times and he was awesome as Nova then he gets into wwe finally and they do this to him.

Sparky Plugg(Bob Holly) This one is pretty self explanatory


Marvelous Marc Mero- here was a once mediorce at best wrestler and he slipped even further down

Red Rooster(Terry Taylor) It was so funny watching him make an ass of himself bobbin his head like a rooster and getting his ass kicked.

Sgt Slaughter (1991) for so long he fought against the Iron sheik and now we were supposed to believe they would become friends like that all of a sudden

Glacier think if sub zero was gay


Lightning Foot Jerry Flynn He was not quick in any since unless you count how quickly he lost every week plus he looked like a guy from the bloodsport movies who would get killed in 15 seconds.


Mantar- Need I Say More

Aldo Montoya - Justin Credible with a fake tan and a jock strap on his head- Priceless

John Cena(Rapper) I Hated that gimmick


Ok these are all the bad gimmicks in can think of at this time if i think of more i might post again

 

[NickFlair]

The KISS Warrior...I think his name was Dale Tourlborg, or something like that. It was around the time that Bischoff got KISS to play live on Nitro, forgetting that it was almost the year 2000, and not 1985, and the guy couldn't wrestle, looked goofy in the KISS face paint, and I may be wrong about this, but I think they had him come out with a guitar and attempt to play and he couldn't. I've had sandwiches that have lasted longer in the sun, than the life span of that gimmick...just bad on, well..pretty much every level.

 

[TheRazorReturns]

Anybody remember 'The Friar'? Bad, bad gimmick. He made a couple of consecutive appearances on RAW and then disappeared. A tremendously round, monk-like character that drank wine when finished with his opponent. Horrible stuff.

Damien Demento- I have no clue what this guy was supposed to be, but whatever it was, it was pure crap. For those that don't remember, he would stagger around the ring, talking to apparently invisible people hovering above the ring. Best thing about this guy was when Undertaker completely destroyed him.

The Berzerker- A nordic warrior/viking that carried a giant sword and spent 90% of every match holding his right wrist and shouting 'Huss, Huss, Huss!'. Vince, what were you smoking? Again, best part of this fiasco? When Undertaker crushed him and gave him his very own Nordic send-off. Good riddance.

Abe "Knuckleball" Schwarz- Nothing says 'money' like 'The Brooklyn Brawler' dressed as a pro baseball player, with his face painted like a giant baseball, during the famed MLB strike.

Man Mountain Rock- He would play the guitar, a WWF guitar at that, before he wrestled....I mean....before he wrestled very badly while everyone went for some nachos.

Max Moon- Some kinda dreadlocked 'spaceman' that rolled around the ring. I kid you not. A poor use of a wrestler that was super-talented....also know as Konnan.

Ludwig Borga- A large Finnish man who like his Foreign Fanatic team, hated America. My only fond memory of him was when he pinned Tatanka with one finger. Months of build up only to do absolutely nothing with him except bury Tatanka.

The Incredible Oz- Kevin nash with chrome hair...God help us all. Next?

Roadblock- A guy that met Hulk Hogan in a gym and later went on to become a glorified jobber that carried a police barricade to the ring with him. No, I'm not kidding.

RoboCop- Yes, WCW actually brought in RoboCop at one point. Of course his involvement consisted of bending some plastic bars to free Sting from a cage and then he walked backstage. >sigh<

Arachnaman- I know this one was mentioned, but I just HAD to mention it again because of the sheer disgust factor. Brad Armstrong dressed as a really gay 'Spider-Man' rip-off. He would shoot pink and blue silly string on his way to the ring, apparently to make all wrestling fans cringe with shame.

 

[Trumike]

The worst gimmick to me was Loch Ness from WCW. Also Mark Mero as the Booty Man. Don't forget Zodiac. Brutus Beefcake should have stayed home.

 

[maddawg]

Mine is sort of off track just naming one wrestler. A group of wrestlers sort of comes to my mind. When WCW first started NWO (New World Order)it was pretty cool. Then it started getting out of hand. Lets see, then it sprouted to NWO black and white, NWO red and black, OWN (One Warrior Nation, headed by Ultimate Warrior for about 2 weeks), and the LWO (Latino World Order). I think they played those groups to death. I think those were some pretty bad gimmicks as it went along.

 

[Heartthrob81]

Oh sweet jesus...bad gimmicks? Where do I start...most of what I've heard have been pretty recent gimmicks too...Boogeyman, "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry, etc...Here's a few blasts from the past for ya....Sparky Plugg..."Portugese Man 'O War" Aldo Montoya...Avatar...and whose not-so-bright idea was it to put a pair of panty hose on Terry Funk's head and call him Chainsaw Charlie??!??

 

[ortonchamp27]

King Booker- i liked him much better as booker t, i find his matches not as entertaining and sorta miss the spinarooni.

Matt Morgan (stutter)- This was horrible it took all credibility away from the guy and pretty much gave him no chance of ever getting big in wwe. He was a big guy with decent in ring skills and the stutter thing just killed it all.

Shark Boy- hes simply a joke and should not be on any televised wrestling event.

 

[MachoManiac]

What about Raven??? Actually, I thought the Raven character was cool. The character he played before Raven in WWE, Johnny Polo, now that's a sad gimmick. A spoiled rich kid with a polo mallet. The only good thing he did as Johnny Polo was manage Adam Bomb which was another bad gimmick.

 

[therock16]

it got to be snistsky. he's a wanna-be kane when kane first took off his mask. i really liked snistsky when "it wasnt his fault" but now he is uglier than ever (no homo). his gimmick just f#@%in annoys me...and is kinda scary too

 

[The Pretender]

Ya I thought Snitsky was hilarious with the it's not my fault... now he's a sixty second wrestler that has gone absent. I think their repackaging tanked. Anyone remember Bastion Booger, now that was a terrible gimmick. He didn't last very long.

 

[Andy G]

I havent read thru all of this so sorry if this has been mentioned but I am going to go with repoman. Did this guy ever really do anything besides get tossed out of the rumble a few times? Does anyone know who played him?

 

[cobain]

he was originally one of the guys in demelition. ax I think.

My pick is the 123 Kid.
His whole gimmick was that he beat Razor Ramon in some upset matches and suddenly we are to believe he is a legit wrestler. THe guy went through so many name changes it was embarassing. He seemed like an overratted jobber, kind o flike Gunner Scott and Barry Horowitz

 

[Andy G]

Eugene was a stupid worthless gimmick to me too. I mean sure the man behind was a talented wrestling and all of that jazz, but the gimmick was literally "******ed". I thought it was stupid from the beginning and couldn't believe that is lasted as long as it did.
