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

Supreme Olajuwon 09-05-2009 03:12 PM

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

Supreme Olajuwon 09-05-2009 03:13 PM

Speaking of blacktop, how about Road Block?

thedamndest 09-05-2009 03:17 PM

We didn't even make it to Kwee Wee.

Anybody Thrilla 09-05-2009 03:21 PM

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

Anybody Thrilla 09-05-2009 03:22 PM

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

FourFifty 09-05-2009 03:22 PM

No Swog :(

thedamndest 09-05-2009 03:23 PM

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

Anybody Thrilla 09-05-2009 03:24 PM

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

Anybody Thrilla 09-05-2009 03:25 PM

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

Afterlife 09-05-2009 03:26 PM

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

thedamndest 09-05-2009 03:27 PM

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

Anybody Thrilla 09-05-2009 03:27 PM

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

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

Gerard 09-05-2009 03:59 PM

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.

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)

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 09-05-2009 06:03 PM

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.

What about the Boogeyman? Is that shit enough?

Afterlife 09-05-2009 10:20 PM

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

I say Max Moon.

Supreme Olajuwon 09-05-2009 10:37 PM

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

Skippord 09-05-2009 10:48 PM

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

XCaliber 09-05-2009 11:00 PM

A certain Mideon gimmick should definetly be in there.

Tazz Dan 09-05-2009 11:08 PM

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

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 09-06-2009 12:53 AM

and Brakkus!!!!!

Skippord 09-06-2009 01:49 AM

this should probably be a 64 man tourney

Afterlife 09-06-2009 08:08 AM

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

<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>
