There are tons of bad gimmicks, but are there those that you find totally cringeworthy? Some bad gimmicks, like Aldo Montoya, I don't find cringeworthy. Then there is Bertha Faye what I find cringeworthy. I find everything about it cringeworthy. Let me say that this is not meant to be an insult to the late Rhonda Singh (sp?), but I just hated the gimmick. I tried to like it, but I cringed every time I see it and it took away any enjoyment I had watching her matches which I admit is a unfair. I just prefer her as the Monster Ripper.

Eugene......that character was what stopped me from being a regular viewer in 2004, and I was a BIG Benoit fan and marked like crazy when he won the belt, so one character making me turn the channel like that is really saying something.

TL Hopper - even the commentators mocked the idea of a wrestling plumber.

Tommy Dream will eat ANYTHING! Forgot about that one. I think its so much worse when you know and love the wrestler already and then they get saddled with such a bullshit gimmick. If its some guy I dont know then im not gonna feel as bad but Tommy Dreamer and Rhonda Singh were 2 respected wrestlers and thats when you cringe. |

Yellow Dog (Pillman) Shockmaster Nailz/ The Prisoner Adam Bomb The Equilizer The Bully Any Marc Mero gimmick Any Barry Windham WWF gimmick Nailz was awesome, and Adam Bomb was decent, but I agree with your other choices. I vote for any gimmick that was some other type of job, TL Hopper, Duke the Dumpster Droese, Sparky Plugg et. al. It's just a poorly thought out concept. Speaking of Sparky Plugg, I'm not a big fan of names that are obviously phony but don't sound like they're supposed to be nicknames. Other examples include Isaac Yankem, Irwin R Scheyster, Hugh G Rection. Guys like Ric Flair and Jack Swagger get a pass on this because those sound like psuedonyms that are supposed to project a certain image other than that of a cartoon character. |
