ive realised most gimmicks in wrestling are based on racial or xenophobic stereotypes. The best examples of this is Nickolai Volkoff, The iron Sheik or Taienkai. i bet theres so many crazy or evil foreigners we could start a touney? the rules being the character must be from outside the USA and be centred around there nationality. and wrestled in a major organisation (eg WWE,WCW,ECW,NWA,TNA)
ill get the ball rolling:
Nickolai Volkoff (Russia) Iron Sheik (Iran) William Regal (England) Rene Dupree (France) Santino Marella (Italy) Super Crazy (Mexico) The Mountie (Canada) Hornswaggle (Ireland) Alex Wright (Germany)
any other suggestions?

Take Hassan of your list. He was billed from Detroit. His gimmick was an American who is treated unfairly because of his Arab heritage.

who's ludvig borga again? Evil foreigner from Finland who was feuding with Tatanka (he ended Tatanka's winning streak) andf Luger back in '93. Let me repeat that: FROM FINLAND. Because Finland is apparently evil. That is why he will win.

If you’re judging by pure evil or craziness rather than wrestling ability then can you really see Mr I. Sheik loosing this on this board?
Personally though I don’t think anybody did crazy evil as well as Eddie, just his grin was enough, wasn’t really based on being foreign though.
