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. It was during his “Herman Guy” period.

Natalya had a weird phase of just randomly spouting song Lyrics for a few weeks...
this of course lead to the gif that goes round occasionally of Bliss yelling about Chumbawumba.

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... I think there was another very shortlived variation of his flag titantron with blue and yellow colors, making him Swedish.

Solomon Crowe hacking the arena via. magic iPad is still like on an otherwordly level of f***shit. Yeah... and people still try to tell me this gimmick would be great somehow... ignoring that... how the hell does being a hacker HELP in a wrestling match... the fact that at the time he had a realyl bad fake tan and troll hair didn't help either.

It wasn’t explicitly patterned like their flag, so I think that was just generic blue and yellow.

They did try to clean up his look at some point. I don’t remember being a fan of it at the time, but in hindsight it might have worked better for him. Kind of looks like the same kind of kit that Seth Rollins and Mustafa Ali wear now.

Yeah, his later appearances as few as they were (and they pretty much dropped the hacker thing damn quick.) he looked much better. he also dropped the weird springboard headbutt for the stretch muffler.

Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar is great... he is just so awesome and cool and a total badass did you see him win at mania against hte Undertaker... damn isn't Lesnar great... anyway here's Caesar, he's swiss or something who cares. -pretty much every Heyman promo from that time.

Now I have wonder how Pee Wee Herman would go as a wrestling manager. Could have actually been a versatile act as either the comedy face or annoying Jimmy Hart-esque pipsqueak heel.

Hawkins and some other guy(forget his name) being a new American Males for a few weeks. Are you talking about The Gate Crashers with Vance Archer? I’d also like to bring up Tyler Recks. Both the babyface surfer dude and the random angry guy with dreadlocks gimmick he did after.

truly forgotten bad gimmick? How about Johnny Curtis , literal man? Where each week he spoke a metaphor or proverb and did it literally?
I thought during NXT Redemption his gimmick was "I'm gay but I want to bang Maxine"

It was Hawkins and Recks. Yeah, Magic Mike had just come out, so this was clearly riffing on that... I think Reks gave his notice like a week later.

They did those vignettes forever, and then he debuted by losing a squash to Mark Henry. EDIT: This all just reminded me that Fandango won a season of NXT back when it was a competition. I hadn’t thought about that in years.

I thought it was"really f***ing creep dude". Literal man was his first gimmick in the main roster. He didnt even get to wrestle I think

Sylvain Grenier as a crooked ref. Lance Cade's original gimmick of guy who teams with Mark Jindrak Mark Jindrak as Lex Luger rip-off with Teddy Long as a manager. Rodney Mack as John Cena's 2nd bodyguard Redd Dogg
