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

Sixx 07-08-2010 08:09 PM

Roadblock.

BizarroKing 07-08-2010 08:15 PM

Kane and Tatanka during his second run in WWE

Xero 07-08-2010 08:16 PM

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 07-08-2010 08:18 PM

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

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.

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.

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 07-08-2010 11:09 PM

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

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

Ultimate Warrior.

CSL 07-09-2010 01:05 AM

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

CSL 07-09-2010 01:05 AM

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

Aguakate 07-09-2010 01:46 AM

HULK HOGAN.

This question was tailor-made for him.

CSL 07-09-2010 01:47 AM

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 07-09-2010 01:48 AM

And that's with a stronger hairline too.

Aguakate 07-09-2010 01:52 AM

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

CSL 07-09-2010 01:57 AM

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.

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

CSL 07-09-2010 02:04 AM

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.

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 07-09-2010 04:07 PM

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

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 07-09-2010 04:51 PM

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" :-\

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

Still can't believe Mongo was a Horseman.

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

voncouch 07-22-2010 03:15 AM

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.

MONGO in Spanish means "weak".

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