[thedamndest]

Damien Demento

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea

[Gertner]

Seeding this is going to be impossible lol

[owenbrown]

Batista :shifty:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Shockmaster

[Anybody Thrilla]

Actually, you may just want to call this The Shockmaster tournament and leave him out of it.

[owenbrown]

you gotta add Glacier

[Gertner]

Actually, you may just want to call this The Shockmaster tournament and leave him out of it.

lol every tournament needs its 1 seeds.

[DarKCentaur]

Al Wilson

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Isaac Yankem

[Gertner]

Repo Man gets a spot

[Gertner]

lol wow this filled up fast. Gonna take a day of so to seed this thing. Gonna be hard.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

How can you pick just one Barry Darsow gimmick? Hole-In-One and the Blacktop Bully are both equally awful.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Speaking of blacktop, how about Road Block?

[thedamndest]

We didn't even make it to Kwee Wee.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I was thinking Kwee Wee, but I wasn't really sure what his gimmick was.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Also, yeah, Stewart Pain/Hole-In-One was much worse than Repo Man. This should be a 64 spot tourney.

[FourFifty]

No Swog :(

[thedamndest]

Wolfpac423 probably has a list of his Top 100 Worst Gimmicks laying around somewhere.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Salvatore Sincere, Flash Funk, The Berserker, Avatar, Mantaur....so many people that need to get in the mix.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nevermind, I see Mantaur is there, but what about Man Mountain Rock and Rad Radford?

[Afterlife]

I'm kind of annoyed that Seven is there and the Jinx Bros. are not.

[thedamndest]

Tom Brandi needs to be a 1 Seed on the basis that he is Tom Brandi, King of the No-Sell.

[Anybody Thrilla]

R-Truth, Make a Difference Fatu, Reverend D-Von, Cloudy, Alex "The Pug" Porteau...

[FourFifty]

Tom Brandi needs to be a 1 Seed on the basis that he is Tom Brandi, King of the No-Sell.

I would like video proof of this non selling he does.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tom Brandi = Salvatore Sincere

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Sparky Plugg
The Oddities
Misfits in Action
Das Wunderkind Alex Wright
Berlyn
The BootyMan

[Anybody Thrilla]

"Das Wunderkind" was a champion. Berlyn...you've got a point.

[Jannettyzilla]

No Loch Ness? No Naked Mideon?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who were those fat guys in masks in WCW circa 1995? Colossal Kong and something else Kong? What about Ice Train?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Henry Godwinn

[Afterlife]

Also, we should distinguish between "bad gimmick" and "bad execution". The Oddities was a great idea.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Dean Douglas
Fake Diesel/Fake Razor
Dink
Jean Pierre Lafitte
Stalker DDP

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Zeus
Buzzkill
Oklahoma

[Anybody Thrilla]

Techno Team 2000

[Favre4Ever]

Wait what about MIA? Or is this singles?

[Jannettyzilla]

ZeusNo one messes with Zeus! He had a Zeus belt!

[Gerard]

I cant remember if this ever made it as a gimmick but the idea that mcmahon had for a wrestling humpback who couldn't be pinned because the hump prevented his shoulders from pressing against the canvas.


Actually sounds pretty friggin funny, can imagine some comedy matches coming from it.

[Rollermacka]

Also, we should distinguish between "bad gimmick" and "bad execution". The Oddities was a great idea.

That is true Afterlife, because thats the same for something like the No Limit Soldiers, the Stalker (Barry Windam) or New Rockers (good idea, poor excution) The other thing I wanted to ask was do you consider something like Seven (Dustin's child abductor gimick) a worse gimmick, when he never actually wrestled as him? I also wanted to add Kizarny, 90% of what Brutis Beefcake did (all 800 diffrent gimmicks), Snitsky (any of them from abortionist to shaved penis)

[Afterlife]

Yeah, I'm a little ticked at Seven being on there because he never used it as a gimmick.

And yes, a lot of gimmicks are good ideas with horrible execution: my go-to example is always The Goon. A guy too rough for the NHL? That could have been a great basis for a character. He's violent, ballistic, tends to hurt people without realizing it. But instead of making a character out of it, Vince made a cartoon.

Great idea. Horrible execution.

[Gertner]

There's always room for worse gimmicks. if there's a gimmick not yet mentioned that's worse than one of the 32 I'll bump it.

[Droford]

The Juicer (supposed to be a Beetlejuice ripoff, really bad)

[TheZman]

David Flair

[Afterlife]

David Flair

That's actually pretty funny.

[Italian $tallion]

What about the Boogeyman? Is that shit enough?

[Afterlife]

That's DEFINITELY shit enough. Because he wasn't a Boogeyman; he was a fucking witch doctor. With facepaint. And a clock.

[311]

I say Max Moon.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wow it looks like Dolph Ziggler stole his look 100% from that guy in the Norman the Lunatic match

[Skippord]

"The Real Double J" Jesse James should be in here

[XCaliber]

A certain Mideon gimmick should definetly be in there.

[Tazz Dan]

How did Xanta Claus not make this list????

[Tazz Dan]

Or Rockabilly?

[Tazz Dan]

OR THE NEW FOUNDATION???????

[Sixx]

Where the fuck is Christmas Creature?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Umpteen Faces of Ed Leslie:

Brother Bruti, (Who was that) Masked Man, Furface, The Booty Man, The Butcher, The Zodiac Man, The Disciple. The Heine (High Knee)? Come on! He deserves all the spots on this thing!

Basically, every character ever he did except for The Barber.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

and Brakkus!!!!!

[Skippord]

this should probably be a 64 man tourney

[Afterlife]

This would go a lot smoother if people would stop repeating each other and making a redundant mess of the thread.

[Gertner]

this should probably be a 64 man tourney

I might just do that. lol more work for me, but I think it'd be a good idea. Everything will be set up tomorrow.

<font color=goldenrod>To be honest I think Se7en is worthy enough to be on the list because the gimmick was SO crap that they hyped it for weeks only to have Dustin himself (after an admittedly pretty cool entrance), say "this is fucking stupid, I'm not doing this".</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

It feels like nobody on the second page read anything on the first page.
