It'd hard to tell, but I'd guess you'd have to go to the territory era to find the dumbest. Most in the WWE today spent at least some time in college, can memorize lines, and can read.

Marty Jannetty. There are very few people in wrestling you can point at and say they're 100% responsible for their relative lack of success, but Marty is one of them, every time an opportunity presented itself he'd find some way to screw it up.

Sid, maybe? (Half the brains, can we start over) According to Sid, he was given the promo, knew he'd sound like an idiot, but he just didn't care because he was getting a push and said it anyway. Surely the original promo he was given said to say "you have half the brain I do"

Maybe Duggan the character is dumb, but I don't know enough about the person. Who knows he may be an intelligent man From what I heard on Piper's podcast, Duggan seems like a normal dude. Now Steiner, that guy seems legit whacked. Dumb and insane.

Surely the original promo he was given said to say "you have half the brain I do" He meant both of them - they had a brain each and he had one but was still better. Took me about three years to figure out.

It has to be Ahmed Johnson from the stories that I've heard. My favorite has to be when he was legit upset that he wasn't getting a shot a the WWF World title when Pro Wrestling Illustrated had him ranked as the #1 contender. Haha. That's what PWI usually did when someone had the IC belt, not that it even matters. Those PWI 500 rankings must have had him pretty fired up too.

I disagree with Sean Waltman being mentioned here. He's a partier for sure, and did the sex tape with Chyna but he comes off as a very bright and humble guy in his vlogs and on twitter.

Kayfabe wise, most of the '70s and '80s Samoans. They seemingly couldn't speak any human language, ate raw meat and fish, and didn't know what shoes were. (the Headshrinkers would be disqualified since they changed their images in kayfabe, when Fatu became "Make a Difference" Fatu, and Samu joined the Samoan Gangsta Party)
Or Kamala. He had all that plus unlike Afa, Sika, et al, he didn't know how to pin someone properly. (In real life, there is the Dawn Marie incident to speak of too, but that's another story...)

I heard that once Vampiro claimed to be late because the plane door fell off, mid-flight.

If we're talking about shoot dumb people: Two guys that were already mentionned: Kerry Von Erich and Teddy Hart.
If we're talking about worked dumb people: Dave Sullivan, Eugene, Nuthouse Fargo, Maria...
The Samoans and Kamala don't really count for me, they weren't portrayed as dumb, they were portrayed as savages.

That's what PWI usually did when someone had the IC belt, not that it even matters. Those PWI 500 rankings must have had him pretty fired up too. See the one I heard was a PWI 500 story, where he marched up to Vince and loudly proclaimed he should get a raise because he was ranked highly in it, only for everyone to burst out laughing.

Kayfabe wise Or Kamala. He had all that plus unlike Afa, Sika, et al, he didn't know how to pin someone properly. Kayfabe-wise, Kamala was supposedly a former bodyguard for Idi Amin (at least in many of his territory stints outside the WWF). Never really been sure how that was supposed to jibe with the rest of the gimmick, but there it is. Also, a funny story that I repeat once in a while on here - maybe a decade or so back, Kamala was working an indy show, and cut a promo on the mic, stopping at some point to say to the audience something along the lines of "What? You don't think I've been over here for 20 years and haven't learned your language, do you?"
