Mike Sanders had an above average gimmick.

Rammsteinmad 08-27-2013 01:39 PM

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

Mooияakeя™ 08-27-2013 06:47 PM

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.

Its a shame Nova was awesome as a wrestler.

glanville6 08-27-2013 11:25 PM

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.

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

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.

Lock Jaw 08-27-2013 11:50 PM

glanville6 is quickly becoming one of my fav posters

Mercenary 08-27-2013 11:50 PM

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

whiteyford 08-28-2013 02:30 AM

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.

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-28-2013 02:48 AM

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.

Anybody Thrilla 08-28-2013 06:31 PM

Simon Dean had a lot of untapped potential.

Curd 08-28-2013 06:31 PM

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