All three

:shifty:

?.

Undertaker is the correct answer.

Mike Sanders had an above average gimmick.

May as well go ahead and get this one out of the way...

man this thread does not have 1 good example yet.

except maybe norman smiley

the answer is eugene btw

Boogeyman?

This. And Evad Sullivan.

Hornswoggle. The answer is always Hornswoggle.

fandango

Al Snow/Head

ryback

Gangrel

Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake

"The Incredible" Hulk Hogan

Khali, not really a gimmick but he just sucks really bad :)

Is Fandango over?

I mean, ffs, a guy who can't dance, who portrays a dancer who is part of a a wrestling company, yet didn't want to at the beginning?!?! WTF. Thank fuck Titan Towers went with the Sports Entertainment thing.

Got ♥ for him tho.

His music is over.


The man is not.

He's probably on Megean's List

Didn't really get over and his career went nowhere. :(
Its a shame Nova was awesome as a wrestler.

Lock Jaw will agree with this one-

Christian's temper tantrum gimmick.

It was great because it was Christian, it was terrible because Christian was losing.

I thought it was great because Christian was losing :lol:

So you probably got a big, cheesy smile when DDP beat Christian for the European Title in the Main Event of Wrestlemania 18.

It gave me an erection.

*Insert "Self High Five" reference here*

I know it's just a ripoff of Smells Like Teen Spirit, but that theme was awesome. Still get goosebumps thinking about DDP making his entrance at Halloween Havoc 98. He should have beaten Goldberg. Instead, WCW waited all the way til April and nobody cared.

glanville6 is quickly becoming one of my fav posters

Demolition

Genius

I'm still beyond baffled as to how he ever won the WHC. That and how the fuck he still has a job.

India has a very large population, lots of money to be made, WWE is a business, a business likes to make money...

A 'dead' man with magical powers, a gimmick based on this shouldn't be over 20+ years later.

The Computerized Man of the 1990's Terrance Taylor!!!!!!!!

Maybe not, but I dug his music and Gary Michael Cappetta announcing his name awesomeley.

This thread is so bad it is actually getting over pretty well.

More so edge was injured and they needed to throw the belt on someone.

Simon Dean had a lot of untapped potential.

Da Baldies in ECW had PN News and a rookie Vic Grimes but got massive heat and pops depending on who they were facing.

Gimmick Mashup: The Digitally Crimson Robo Rooster

Hornswoggle and Eugene.

Probably mentioned already, too.

Bubba Ray stuttering in WWF

Brother Love, The Genius.

Khali, Hornswoggle, Repo Man.

has hornswoggle really gotten over?

Has Khali?

Trying to remember if PMS was over. I feel that due to their "assets" in the late 90's they must have been.

Mr. Socko

What about Fandango?

I also think 'Too Cool' belongs on this list.

Jon Heidenreich's "disaster piece" poetry's were also starting to take off a bit before he got released.

Minor correction: He asked for time off, and eventually his release, after Hurricane Katrina because several family members were affected by the disaster.

yes. very much so when he was with finlay and such.

Who would have thought that Little Bastard would have a seven year WWE career?

Hornswoggle has had a longer WWE career than Eddie Guerrero. :'(

I really, really hope that I can one day say Los Matadors belong on this list.

This thread has made me miss Simon Dean. I would actually love to see him in NXT as an on-air character. Behind the scenes, he could be a trainer for the company, since the guy is incredibly good at what he does.

They could have Simon Dean work with Kassius Ohno to try and get him into shape. Ohno could be a proud spokesperson for The Simon System.

Would love to see Dean manage the tag team of Kassius Ohno & Mason Ryan. Call them "Before & After."

There should be an online petition to get WWE to do this. Vince will probably ignore it, but whatever. :y:

They needed someone to feed to Cena. Not sure how that's hard to understand. As far as still having a job, WWE are convinced he brings in overseas money, which is extremely important to any business.

I keep telling you, Cole, I'm fairly certain he has parents!

I always felt that Kane was a better choice to win the World Heavyweight Title back when they needed to move it off Edge. Khali was, even at the time as a heel, a random choice.

Just be thankful the company no longer tries to push him as a serious heel threat. He even put over Heath Slater once. WOOOOOOO!!!!!

Goldberg

if i see like 2 noid posts in a row i just start scrolling fast.

Rikishi.

And to a somewhat lesser extent, Reverend D-Von. I still remember dying of laughter the night Batista debuted as D-Von's lacky, Deacon Batista. :lol:

Don't know if I would consider him over or not, but I remember Christopher Nowinski hanging around considerably longer than I thought he'd last.

Nowinski was great. The gimmick was standard, but not awful.

His gimmick wasn't that standard when he began teaming with the black guys. The white intellectual who thinks he knows the street. Too bad he had his brain damaged too much in Harvard or could have been a mid-level champion or something.

A guy shouting "YES" a lot and not doing much else.

Ryback started to. I think that gimmick is terrible
