To this day, I wonder what the plan was for Brutus Beefcake's short-lived "Mr. Run-In" gimmick.

Yes, none of these two pages' worth of stuff that's mentioned all the time on here is never brought up anymore by anyone.

Proto-New Day being a serious stable instead of the fun-loving trio we know today.

Should go in the irony thread, but...
If I mention a "terrible WWF gimmick no one brings up anymore", am I, therefore, negating it by bringing it up?
(It is like that Arsenio Hall bit: "Things that make you go 'Hmmm...' ")

Randy Orton, aspiring TV news anchor Why do you think he still has sources at the paper to go to if he has to?

Man Cesaro went through some weird “character traits” at the beginning... 1. Former Rugby Player 2. Speaks 5 different languages 3. Yodeling One night on Raw he came out and did the “Bob Backlund legs” which looked super weird. His best gimmick/look was the 007 with the suit. He should have kept that. Now he’s wearing a kilt and in a stale tag team. He should be main eventing with that Bond gimmick. I remember one or two weeks before he joined The Real Americans where, for some reason, they completely dropped any and all references to him being Swiss. This involved them changing his tron since that was such a heavy part of it, and because they changed it to black, red and yellow, I was almost certain they were about to start saying he was actually German. EDIT: Like so... f***ed up that you're leaving out the most crucial bit that he was now wearing a beret for no reason in particular

Also, the two weeks where he wore an eyepatch.

I mean, you can throw Heidenreich's entire run in here, but I feel like nobody ever mentions his short-lived stint on Raw where he was controlled by "Little Johnny" who was going to be revealed as a small doll.

What about Charlie Haas and his Lucha gimmick?
Not terrible but something I don’t see mentioned much.

Kerwin White.
I’m still convinced that gimmick was just a rib.

Some of long for the days of farting Natalya. Would you believe that specific promo actually turned out to be a face turn for Natalya? May be the only person in wrestling history to have changed alignment via flatulence... Although through sheer number of turns, Big Show has probably done it too at some point. Why am I picturing this song playing over a montage of Nattie triumphantly farting in the presence of heels? Natalya + farts = a hero we can all get behind... but shouldn’t because of the whole farting thing.

truly forgotten bad gimmick?
How about Johnny Curtis , literal man? Where each week he spoke a metaphor or proverb and did it literally?

f***ed up that you're leaving out the most crucial bit that he was now wearing a beret for no reason in particular The beret was cool, though. Also, the two weeks where he wore an eyepatch. He also wore a robe. I remember people liking the eye patch and robe phase. He seemed like a cartoon villain. Didn't he have a manager during that time? I swear he did.
