WORST Wrestler, BEST Gimmick

[Schlomey]

Just like the other thread except the exact opposite. Who had a great gimmick but ended up fucking blowing it?

[Sixx]

Roadblock.

[BizarroKing]

Kane and Tatanka during his second run in WWE

[Xero]

Kane didn't blow the Kane character. The fact that he's still over to the point he is is 100% Jacobs and a testament to how great he is. WWE blew it.

[.44 Magdalene]

Lol, Xero beat me to it. I wouldn't call Kane a bad wrestler.

[Sixx]

The Shockmaster!

[Droford]

Boogeyman

[Razzamajazz]

loch ness monster

[Ultra Mantis]

Glacier

[Ruien]

[Schlomey]

Boogeyman


Yeah Marty wasn't that great in the ring but he was amazing in his character. This is a case of WWE not wanting to write for him anymore. Maybe out of boredom or maybe out of ideas completely.


I was tired of him. Definitely ran its course.

[BizarroKing]

Lol, Xero beat me to it. I wouldn't call Kane a bad wrestler.

I wouldn't call him a bad wrestler either, it's just that his character has had some bad storylines after a while and his backstory became somewhat jumbled when you look at certain parts.

Mr. Machon and Shane McMahon. What better gimmick than being the bosses son and the boss. Especially when it true. Shane could make a match fun to watch but def cant wrestle.

[Blind-Rage]

Tito Santana! El matador

[Schlomey]

TL Hopper. Really thought a plumber gimmick could have taken off if the actor/wrestler had the legs.

What??? Shane could flat out wrestle esp jumipng off the titan-tron and doing the coast to coast move. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[Schlomey]

I'm not going to lie...I loved Shane back in the day.


Nothing technical really but yeah I do love a spotfest from time to time

[Favre4Ever]

I liked the Mordecai gimmick, although that PPV was horrendous.

[XCaliber]

The Ringmaster

[tna]

Abyss sucks as a wrestler but i love his hardcore gimmick!!!

[Haze]

Nathan Jones.

[Shisen Kopf]

Ohaire had a good gimmick but did he ever suck ass. But im not telling you something you dont already know

[CSL]

Tito Santana! El matador

I hope you've posted in the wrong thread.

[Tazz Dan]

Ultimate Warrior.

[CSL]

That gimmick wouldn't have worked without Warrior though. Give Arn Anderson that gimmick and he probably draws $0.

[CSL]

No idea why Arn's name came to mind then but he could cut a promo and go like a bastard.

[Aguakate]

HULK HOGAN.

This question was tailor-made for him.

[CSL]

Again, would have been nothing without Hogan himself. Put Arn Anderson in yellow trunks and have him talk about saying prayers, eating vitamins etc, he would probably draw $0.

[CSL]

And that's with a stronger hairline too.

[Aguakate]

...yeah, but that doesn't make him a good WRESTLER. Actor, maybe.

[CSL]

True. That's probably why he earned all of his money from outrageous critical successes like Mr. Nanny and 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain and kept wrestling as a hobby.

[Aguakate]

...Well...Butt-kisser, then.

[CSL]

If anybody was kissing anybodies butt back then, it was Vince kissing Hogan's after attaching his cart and riding that money train all the way to CashMoneyVille.

[Sixx]

The Ye-Tay!!!

[Tazz Dan]

Exactly. Worst wrestler but best gimmick. It worked for him and isn't that what the thread is about?

No. If Arn Anderson (or 98% of guys in history) went on TV painted, with string cutting the circulation to his arms off, cutting ranting promos about spaceships, gods and parts unknown, he'd have been laughed out of the building. The gimmick is pretty dumb on paper. Warrior made it work so successfully because he's a fucking loon.

[MoFo]

Kane sucks arse, lets be seriouz. Hes has worst feud of the year most of this decade.

[Tazz Dan]

Ok, I've misunderstood this thread. I thought it based on gimmicks that worked for a wrestler who was poor, not a good gimmick that would have worked on anybody.

[Tazz Dan]

Now I've said that, would you have brought Arn Anderson or 98% of wrestlers as The Nature Boy? Good wrestler, Good gimmick? I dunno, maybe I ust don't get this thread. meh

lol, I've already mentioned Glacier and Super Giant Ninja Vs Wrath and Mortis = RATINGS


I actually read and interview featuring Ron Reis (The Yet-tay) and he explained the Ninja. He said that at the World War 3 PPV, it was gonna be The Giant, El Gigante (Giant Gonzales) was gonna come back and Ron was suppose to me some Giant from the orient. This way at the end of the battle royal it was gonna be Hogan vs 3 "Giants" :-\

[Rev. Hallowell]

JOHN CENA.

This question was tailor-made for him.

[Testicle]

Admit it CSL, you hate Arn.

[TannerLittleton]

Ultimate Warrior.

[Mooияakeя™]

Big Daddy! Growing up he was the nowadays Cena, 'cept a lot more bearable.

Steve McMichael. Football player turned wrestler. Worked for Bronko Nagurski, not so much for Mongo.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Still can't believe Mongo was a Horseman.

[rated rjo]

The Big Show.

[Snowden]

Slam Master J.

It worked really well for Cena...not so much for Jesse Gordy.

[voncouch]

Nailz. Hands down a solid gimmick. He came in there and made a big statement by his severe beating of the Bossman. I don't think he could ever have been a main eventer, but I think he could of had at least a few solid months of midcard work with the Bossman. Maybe even teaming up with the Mountie in some tag matches.

Sadly, he had to live every wrestler's dream and strangle McMahon. Plus, he was absolute rubbish in the ring. That one nightstick-on-a-pole match was almost unwatchable.

Kurt Angle is not a fucking gimmick you goddamn tool. Kurt Angle has ALWAYS been himself. He is an Olympic Gold Medalist, an amazing athlete & an all American.

Aside from that you considering Angle to be the WORST wrestler is beyond belligerent.

I am all for new posters coming here and even trying to make a name for themselves by being a bit controversial but you sir...are a complete mong and deserve that video above.



BOO. THIS. MAN.

Is that the same laundromat from that Mr. Bean episode or do all your laundromats look the same?

[Aguakate]

...can't believe his nickname was MONGO.

MONGO in Spanish means "weak".

[Schlomey]

also short for mongoloid in the English language which basically describes horrible freaks of nature.

If anything describes McMichael physically it's this...he had more craters on that face than the moon....
