Guys who made shitty gimmicks good
One of the characteristics of the wrestling world that you'll find anywhere you go is the ability to come up with some of the stupidest fucking characters you could possibly imagine, and then wrestlers are supposed to make these characters look good. More often than not, these shitty gimmicks fail. And it's nothing against those wrestlers, because even guys with an enormous amount of charisma and talent like Kevin Nash can falter with a shitty gimmick.
But every so often, a wrestler gets a shitty gimmick, runs with it, and makes that character work. For whatever reason, something clicks and the fans buy into it. So let's take time to remember the people who were able to make that happen. I was thinking about doing a write up for each one but I'm too lazy now so I'll just list them. Maybe I'll come back and do a write up later. Goldust Doink the Clown Screamin Norman Smiley (and the Wiggle) Disco Inferno Ricky the Dragon Steamboat (stereotype gimmicks have always been prevalent and even good wrestlers like Tito Santana can't make them work, but Ricky made it work so well that we don't even think about it as a gimmick anymore) ![]() |
