Wrestlers Who Were the Best at their Gimmicks
 

Here are some ones I was thinking of....

JBL - The sound of his voice when he cuts a promo, playing the rich and I'm better than you gimmick. Genius.

The Road Warriors - No need to explain.

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase - The rich/snobby wrestler who abused his bodyguard to gain even more heat, and buying people. Again, genius.

Vince McMahon - The rich, evil owner. Quite Possibly the greatest heel ever in wrestling.

Macho Man Randy Savage - His unique voice, he was great as a heel and as a face.

Triple H - As the cerebral assassin persona.

Undertaker - Playing a deadman, especially in the early to mid 1990's.

Goldberg - In WCW during his run, a believeable and dominant performer in wrestling, played his gimmick to the hilt.

Hollywood Hulk Hogan - When he first turned heel and joined the nWo. If there was a time where someone would have been a better heel than Vince was in 1998/1999/2000 during the Austin feud, it would have been Hogan in 1996/1997. Playing the guitar motion with the belt, the blonde mustache/black beard, all a complete 180 from everything he had ever done and before. Awesome.

The Dudley Boyz - Heels in ECW, the best heel tag team in history as far as heels go and said some of the most offensive shit to people, especially the audience. They had no fear.

Taz - In the original ECW, his human suplex machine gimmick, a total believeable badass. He had an awesome look and style.

Hot thread. :y:

You will NEVER forget the name of *inhales* (no, not RVD) GOLDUST.

even though he was not the original....he put the suit on and it fit better and he took it to new heights....i'm talking about Ric Flair and the Nature Boy gimmick.

Ravishing Rick Rude

Best post yet! :y:

Doink the Clown

Rude, Taker, Doink, Goldust all come to mind

Goldust and Mankind

The Rock from his early cocky days to his new babyface "People" Days

Pretty much anyone up through 1992 or so, when your gimmick was taken more seriously and wasn't just an on-screen character.

Steven Richards was better at all of these gimmicks. He just likes to have fun

Kamala. You could probably make a case for Kamala being the best at the savage gimmick, even though he wasn't as athletic as the Samoan guys. His facial expressions and body language were just a lot more bizarre.

Jeff Jarrett and his cocky guitar using days

William Regal, from his pompous WCW English days to the Real Man's Man to when he was RAW General Manager to now. No matter what was thrown at him, he took the ball and ran with it.

Goldust. I mean, come thre fuck on. I can't think of a single other person off the top of my head that could've even attempted doing a gimmick like this.

I'm with ya on that one. But damn there's been so many other guys who've mastered their gimmicks to a "T". Rock, Austin, and Hurricane also spring to mind for me amidst a whole shit ton of others who if I tried to list, would probably take me until after the new year.
