I've seen there hasn't been one of these lists in a while so I figured why not do another one. Now I think you know the drill. PM me a List of 25 of the worst wrestler gimmicks you could think of dosen't matter what prommotion it is could be WWE/WCW/ECW/TNA anything dosen't matter the voting ends on Sunday 29 and I'll post the results on the following Monday.
Also this thread could be used to discuss this as well. Enjoy!

Define "Gimmick," or else we might end up with WWECW / The InVasion angle / The Exploitation of Eddie Guerrero's death at #1.

I think he means like, The Boogeyman, or Deuce n' Domino (Just using them as examples of gimmicks, put the pitchforks away).

Oh god not that. I mean a wrestlers gimmick ie-Papa Shango, Gobbeley Gooker, Bastion Booger. Not a bad storyline like the one you mentioned. Yeah that least could get depressing if I included that. God I wouldn't want to write about Eddie.

I think anytime a Diva has to be a slut to be a heel ((See, Lita)), or 'friendly' to be the good lil' face Diva((Ala Torrie Whilson, Ashley, any woman that takes her vlothing off for cheers)) that's a bad gimmick. Women don't have to be whores to have gimmick, yo. Same as when they have to be psycho to be a heel.

Any wrestler since 1998 whose gimmick is based on a musician or a band. See both the Kiss Demon and the No Limit Soldiers. I imposed the year limitation because I'm not sure if you would count the Freebirds or the Rockers as "based on a musician or band."

Women don't have to be whores to have gimmick, yo. Same as when they have to be psycho to be a heel. For the most part, I'd agree (add Dawn Marie to the list too). But in Lita's defense, I don't think she had much of a choice when it came to turning heel... aside from screwing a then-married Edge while dating Matt Hardy at the same time. |

Giant Gonzales has to be on the list. He'd definitely need to be in the top five.

Giant Gonzales has to be on the list. He'd definitely need to be in the top five. What's his gimmick....being super tall?  This one is going to be tough, love me some silly gimmicks. |

I didn't care about his height. I cared more about his terrible wrestling and big-foot gimmick (complete with the worst costume ever). |

I imposed the year limitation because I'm not sure if you would count the Freebirds or the Rockers as "based on a musician or band." What about Vampiro (affiliated with The Misfits), John Cena, or Ron Killings? My thoughts on the 3: Vampiro = Not wrestlecrap, and entertaining to boot. John Cena = Not wrestlecrap, but overpushed, and his gimmick was ruined (he started off as an amusing heel rapper, now he's just a generic babyface with a passion for trendy clothing). Ron Killings = Not such a great rapper, but a trenedous dancer and athlete. |

It's not a question of gimmick, it's a question of giving the right gimmick to the right guy. RD has made this point before but the Undertaker's gimmick is that he's a dead guy. With magical powers. Think about that for a second. Now imagine if they had given that schtick to Scott Hall, Big Ron Studd, or Bryan Adams.
So, with that bad combination of gimmick and wrestler in mind I have to go with Deuce and Domino, Pirate Birchell, Prince of Punk, Truth Commission, Kwang, and Kama:The Supreme Fighting Machine.
