There's been a lot of gimmicks in wrestling and they usually get recycled and reused time after time. In your opinion what is the greatest gimmick a wrestler has ever used? In my opinion, obviously the Undertaker and Million Dollar Man would be near the top of the list, but I really think Mr. Perfect was the best gimmick bar none. Curt Hennig executed it Perfectly.

Also, I'm just throwing this out there. What the hell was Bret Harts gimmick? Sure he was the "Hitman" but he never said lame lines like "I'm gunna put a hit on you."

Ironically enough, he was a tax man.

How about...that chicken thing that turned up at Survivor Series?

I actually like the whole MNM gimmick at the moment, but my favourite gimmick of all time has got to be Mr. Perfect. i will never forget his vignettes...the basketball one was pure class!

Heel Goldust for me, loved his feud with Razor, was something completely different, completely off the wall, think he should have been pushed as a big time threat while he was still interesting, got stale after the face turn which never suited him...plus his entrance was dramatically overdone, but it suited him so well...

I'm sure before he was unmasked Kane was voted the best gimmick ever by some magazine or other.

Kane. I loved how he was bigger, badder and stronger than The Undertaker for a while, and it took three Tombstones for The Undertaker to beat him, let alone put him down.

Since then his character has been butchered by the WWE. Having him go for a lot of this year undefeated (even if that means having him hold the WWE Championship for a majority of it) would be the best thing I can see them doing for Kane's character.

I also liked the Goldust character. Although it is pretty much Dustin Runnels' behind the success of it, I would love to see another talented guy that can pull it off give it a crack. WWE owns the rights to the character don't they? Bring it back and give the new guy a shot at taking the character to where it never got with Dustin behind it.

Dean Jablonski in OVW looks like he may be able to play the part.

Sting metamorphesis from color face paint to crow sting "early '96-early '98" Greatness and great story behind it...Next to that would be either The Undertaker or The Rock, hands down.

Why is it like almost everytime I see you post it involves Kane winning the WWE Championship?

Anytime I post in a thread involving Kane or New Year's Revolution I involve Kane winning the WWE Championship.

That had nothing to do with why he changed gimmicks.

Anyway, Austin from late 97-99 gets my vote (up until Rikishi did it for The Rock).
