Heel golfer is the best sports gimmick, if you think about it If they went all the way with the gimmick, they could have had Darsow attempt difficult putts in a hole set up in the ring or backstage, telling the fans to shut so he could concentrate. He could have a caddy like Kerwin White did, but take it further with loaded clubs, an obnoxious trophy, putting a golf flag down jobber's throats. He could ride a cart to and from the ring. If course, we'd find out that he's a terrible golfer but that he constantly cheats. If my wrestling fed ever gets started up, you're my head booker.
I was probably the only fan of Al Snow in existence. That European Champion phase of his career is long overlooked.
The Spirit Squad was awesome until 'you know who' got their hands on them.

Couldn't help but pop when they got doused in green paint and when they were "shipped to OVW". Johnny Jeter deserved better, though

Adam Bomb, 3 Count, Deuce and Domino, The Boogeyman, KING BOOKAH, The Berzerker, Crush under Mr. Fuji, the Model Rick Martel, and Jack Swagger's eagle mascot.
There are surely others, those are just the ones off the top of my head.

Totally forgot about Deuce and Domino. If I had my way they would currently be the longest reigning tag champs of all time! What was up with their music?

Terri is awesome (one of the nicest people I've ever met), and I've always been a fan of Jackie (I would love to meet her), so, I would have to say PMS

Bushwackers-Had loved them as teh Sheepherders. But really loved them as the head licking morons in the WWF.
Terry Taylor/Red Rooster-Was a huge fan of him and his 5 arm in UWF. So of course I loved him as the Rooster.

Add me to the Al Snow fan list. Sure he has some weird ideas,but in the ring he is good. He was a blast in ECW and his Euro champ run was one of my favorites of that time period. Also a huge Sparky Plugg/Hardcore Holly fan.

Their feud with the Jung Dragons (Jamie-san?!) was a bright spot in late WCW.

The ridiculous acts I liked are guys you'd first see and think "WTF?!" Then after a while, their character finds their legs and the person is all in on the gimmick. That's when I'll mark for it.
Repo Man, Al Snow, Crash Holly, Kane during his goofy angle as Wile E. Coyote to Edge's Road Runner trying to catch Paul Bearer.
We have too much seriousness in wrestling. I like a good technical match as much as the next guy, but sometimes you need something goofy to lighten the mood. That's why you'd see the midget matches. Puts a smile on your face.

I think the sign of how well wrestling fans buy into silliness is that WWE actually managed to sell the world's lowest effort for Blue Pants

When the Vaudevillians jumped to the main roster, fans started the "We want Blue Pants" chant. Of all the things, he can randomly chant that. And it's out of context - He has no idea who Blue Pants is. He didn't watch NXT. But he knows the chant.

Skull Captain/Castle Greyskull La Parka. Typical Russo bullshit, but it was a jive talking La Parka so I loved it. Let’s just say... I still know all the words to 3 Count’s song. Everyone goes down down for the 3 Count.
