What are some of the most convoluted gimmicks in wrestling history? Here's one from Mid-South Wrestling, 1985. From Badstreet, it's Sheik Hercules Hernandez. A mixture of Roman mythology and Arab tribal heirarchy, hailing just down the street from the Fabulous Freebirds.

I think Damien Demento was pretty crazy. At least with Berzeker, Skinner or Repo Man of that general time period you know who or what they were supposed to be.

Kane. Just Kane in general. I was just thinking the other day about Kane being three different characters in three different years. In October 1995 he was Isaac Yankem, October 1996 he was Diesel and October 1997 he was Kane. Was the ever another wrestler with that many gimmicks in the many years? Maybe Fatu from 1994-1995 but I think Fatu Headshrinker was supposed to be Fatu M.A.D.

Maybe Christopher Daniels in TNA when he was alternating between his normal self, Curry Man and Suicide? But those aren't really different characters, since they were always *meant* to be Chris Daniels in a disguise. I think.

Hacksaw King Duggan, coming down the aisle with a 2x4, American Flag, Crown and Cape, the All American monarchist! Also pictured with Demolition, adding their leather mask and face paint on top of that! Edit PLUS painting the 2x4 in American colours AND getting it a little crown.

It's hard for sons from famous families to live up to their legacy -- ...why, Damien never even got a Ph.D like his old man! There was this one undead mortician cult leader/biker with a penchant for MMA and occasional bouts of patriotism? ...all the while maintaining his judicial position back-stage. Where does he find the time!

I’m still not sure how being successful in the World Wrestling Federation was supposed to propel Double J Jeff Jarrett to a successful career in Country Music.
