The Worst Gimmicks in Wrestling-Tournament Nomination Thread

[BizarroKing]

Inspired by the "Greatest Wrestler Ever" tournament I am holding nominations for a tournament featuring the worst gimmicks in wrestling history, from WWE, to WCW, from ECW, to ROH, anything you can think of.

Up to 4 nominations each poster. I want to see nominees ranging from bizarre over the top gimmicks to just plain "what the fuck were they thinking" gimmicks.

[Ermaximus]

I think I'll count Golga, Silva, and Kurrgan together as one gimmick: The Oddities.

In that case, I get to post 2 more gimmicks so, we'll go with Heidenrape and Nathan Jones.

We'll have to trim the fat a bit if we keep it to 64...maybe get rid of the teams/stables and keep it to 1 wrestler for each nomination? That would bring it right to around 65 thus only 1 more name would have to go. Any sort of suggestions to trim it down? or do u wanna do some sort of preliminary tourney?

[XL]

The Mountie, Papa Shango, The Oddities, The Spirit Squad do not deserve to be on this list. Start there?

[#1-norm-fan]

Neither does Kerwin White. Fucking awesome idea.

Just because a gimmick is very "gimmicky" doesn't necessarily make it bad.

The majority are actually so intentionally corny that they're good to me.

That being said, I'd add to the list... Xanta Claus

[XL]

Yeah, like Eugene was literally a "retarded gimmick" that limited the guy playing the character but man was it over! Not a shitty gimmick at all.

[Ultra Mantis]

Papa Shango should be nowhere near this list.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Take Billy Gunn off that last right away. "The One" gimmick wasn't as great as the "Mr Ass" gimmick but it was definitely not one of the worst gimmicks ever. It wasn't even really a gimmick anyway, just a nickname.

[BizarroKing]

I'm throwing two gimmicks i just thought of to add: The Booty Man and Who, and taking off Nathan Jones (because it's not really much of a gimmick, just a generic aussie) AJ Styles "Lil naitch" gimmick (didn't really exist when u think about it) and "The One" Billy Gunn. Also, gnna hold a prelim tourney to see which tag team/stable we will include for the last spot.

[Theo Dious]

The Mountie, Papa Shango, The Oddities, The Spirit Squad do not deserve to be on this list. Start there?

Oh come the fuck on man, if the Mountie deserves to be there certainly a group of male cheerleaders does. Wrestling law enforcement officers are a tradition of the business.

[XL]

I'm saying that none of those gimmicks deserve to be on there.
