People whose gimmick don't match reality

I've never started a threat on TPWW, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I started thinking about the differences between Hulk Hogan and Terry Bollea. Hogan (at least when I was growing up), was built as the All-American, say your prayer, that your vitamins, stand up guy who stood for everything right. Obviously, no one is that good, but it seems to me that Terry Bollea is not even close to the image of Hulk Hogan. Not raggin on the guy, just my oppinion.

So, I started wondering, they say that great wrestling charictors are basically playing themselves, with the volume cranked up, but who are some more charictors whos real self did not mesh up with their persona (excluding those with "supernatural" gimmicks, we all know that the Undertaker is not really a dead guy who comes up from hell to fight other wrestlers).

Happy Posting!
