25 Most Annoying Gimmicks
 
Found this list on WWE.com and wanted to know what you guys think of it? Right? Wrong? Anyone they missed?

Paul Heyman #2? :wtf:

Savio 05-25-2008 07:19 PM

Why is heyman on this list.

I like the last line for Aldo though.

El Fangel 05-25-2008 09:01 PM

Haha, Vinnie Vegas.

25 Cheap Shots At Former ECW/WCW Talent And Ideas That We Thought Were Good At The Time But The Fans Didn't Choke Down

Vastardikai 05-25-2008 09:41 PM

25. yeah, I agree.
24. Not so much annoying as it was poorly thought out.
23. If he was around today, Tiger would have been pushed to the moon.
22. Jim Cornette didn't make Mantaur suck. the outfit did...
21. Meat alone would have worked here.
20. I think R.D. Reynolds should sue for gimmick infringement.
19. Well, if the jet pack worked...
18. Vinnie Vegas > Oz.
17. Dis a Jobber, why don't you?
16. clever Justin Credible reference, but come on: whose bright idea was it to throw that mask on him?
15. Let me guess why he's here. You can't say Vindictive without V-I-N-C-E...
14. Jobbing them out to 2 men and outright burying them didn't help them much.
13. The Genius ruled. Fuck you...
12. Poor Regal...
11. No argument
10. well this gimmick IS a vindictive (see #15) jab at Brooke Hogan...
9. Joel "I'm Young, I'm Hung, and I'm skilled with my tongue" Gertner > Mike "Jamaican me Crazy" Adamle.
8. Repo Man was great, better than the Blacktop Bully. Fuck you Vince...
7. see #10, but replace Brooke Hogan with the Parents Television Council.
6. Well, he's a heel. And it drew heel heat so annoying, no. successful, yes.
5. I agree with it, for the most part, but no Kevin Sullivan, no Undertaker or Kane.
4. no argument.
3. no argument.
2. see #15
1. He was a draw, except when he feuded with Mancow. This was as close as they could to jab at Hogan without actually jabbing Hogan himself. No subtlety whatsoever.

Ultimately, this is done better every week on Wrestlecrap.com.

Fuck off, Naked Mideon? Repo Man?? TIGER ALI SINGH?!?!?!

Bullshit.

lol @ some of the cheap shots though. Especially the Punch-Out one about Glacier. :rofl:

Dorkchop 05-25-2008 10:17 PM

I don't think this was meant to be taken seriously. Heyman's character in WWF/E was pretty damn annoying (in a good way for us nerds).

Gertner 05-25-2008 10:45 PM

</P>
you're right, i am awesome

Mr. Nerfect 05-26-2008 01:16 AM

This list seems like it was put together by Joey Styles. Bill Alfonso? Joel Gertner? Paul Heyman? Styles is throwing out mentions. LOL at Aldo Montoya actually getting a good word about his abilities.

Also, the list doesn't shit on a lot of the guys it brings up. Gertner was a sexist pig, Paul Heyman was a maniacal evil genius, The Genius was arrogant, etc. Awesome characters, but "annoying" by their definition.

A cross between the ridiculous decisions of the WWE, and some mention to some of the best heels out there, I guess. The only jabs that I really felt were jabs seemed directed at Marc Mero and Jim Cornette.

A big, massive, giant "What the fuck?" to Glacier making the list, though. I'm surprised they didn't have Vince or Eric Bischoff on there.

By the way, I'd mark for a Vinnie Vegas comeback.

Xerzes 05-26-2008 02:04 AM

Needs more Eugene, and less random hatred for Cornette.

Rammsteinmad 05-26-2008 02:49 AM

I'm surprised Ernest Miller wasn't in that list.

weather vane 05-26-2008 02:50 AM

somebody better call my momma

PorkSoda 05-26-2008 09:35 AM

WWE obviously hates some people........, Gertner, Wildman Marc Mero (I think) were awesone. Some were great gimmicks (RTC, Alfonso, Jimmy Hart) that were just annoying gimmick wise, but pulled it off great. And some (Paul Heyman) Vince just hates.

thedamndest 05-26-2008 10:48 AM

The Genius might be a shot at Macho Man...

Destor 05-26-2008 11:06 AM

Good list

Forgot about that one. Well played.

Savio 05-26-2008 03:56 PM

Alfonso was annoying as fuck. I only saw him once though.

Destor 05-26-2008 04:01 PM

I think you all are taking annoying as bad, in wrestling thats just not the case.

Destor 05-26-2008 04:01 PM

...sometimes it is, but not always.

James Steele 05-27-2008 12:14 AM

I think they kinda-sort-tongue-in-cheek meant annoying in kayfabe.

Nash is never annoying. BDC is pissed off.

Xero 05-27-2008 01:17 PM

Shockmaster wasn't "annoying". It was just terrible.

Much of the list wasn't annoying per se. It was more Wrestlecrap with some spiteful jabs thrown in.

Rob 05-27-2008 03:50 PM

Wasn't the man's man "Steven Regal"?

Destor 05-27-2008 04:49 PM

yeah
