Sylvain Grenier as a crooked ref. Lance Cade's original gimmick of guy who teams with Mark JindrakMark Jindrak as Lex Luger rip-off with Teddy Long as a manager. Rodney Mack as John Cena's 2nd bodyguard Redd Dogg Strangely, I look up Garrison Cade's titantron fairly often, heh. He was one of those guys who just found it really easy to change up his look and come off looking fresh (as opposed to stale, heh).

Randy Orton, aspiring TV news anchor Those RNN updates on Randy's shoulder injury were awesome, and really kicked off the fans getting behind Orton, leading to his face turn and split from Evolution. Hell, whenever someone gets injured these days my first thought is, "They should do RNN style updates every week."

He may as well have been a Herman Guy, for all the f***s Heyman gave. *Heyman comes out with Cesaro* You know who is great? 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. I was hoping that'd lead to Cesaro getting tired of hearing about Brock and asking Heyman for a match with him, but when it became obvious that wasn't going to happen I just stopped giving a f***.

Kerwin White. I’m still convinced that gimmick was just a rib. The theme song it brought us is still one of my favorites ever.

Also didnt' help they started calling him the King of Swing, gave him a shirt with the old King of the Ring Logo on it.... changed his entrance music to have Tornado warning sirens... and then promptly told him to stop doing the Giant Swing cause it was getting face pops.

I've got two. Alex "The Pug" Porteau. His entire gimmick was "amateur wrestler guy." Lasted from 1996 to 1997. Most notable thing about thing about him is that he was given the University of Michigan fight song as him entrance theme because The Steiner Brothers used it as their theme in the WWF and they were also former amateur wrestlers. This despite the fact that Pourteau had absolutely no connection with Michigan. Rio Rogers. Basically Bruce Prichard AKA Brother Love doing a parody of Dusty Rhodes. Even had his own interview segment called "Rio's Roundup." Lasted about a month in 1992. Character was suddenly dropped with Vince giving the explanation that Rio could no longer make the show because he lost his horse.

Daniel bryan as a virgin being the reason Gail kim and the Bellas were all over him That storyline was the Bellas are stupid and don't know what vegan means. Gail was just revealed as his kayfabe girlfriend as the punchline to the Bellas stupidity.

Eric Esssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssscobar his only two gimmicks were the over-elongated 'S' in his name whenever someone spoke it, and that he had an affair with Vickie Guerrero (I think at the time that Edge was married to her or some weird Smackdown storyline)
There were a lot of things Vickie did that nobody talks about now, Edge's relationship with her, her being the proto-Authority with Edge/Chavo/Vickie as GM, being almost solely responsible for Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder's careers (she handed them the tag team titles cause they were Edge's fanboys, ijs both guys are still on RAW to this day so they can thank Vickie and ultimately Eddy Guerrero for that longevity). Also Vickie is hands down the best heel magnet in WWE, period. Nobody gets heel heat like her and nobody ever will-- but technically it's a terrible gimmick that was done right that nobody brings up anymore (heels having terrible gimmicks to get them booed being the goal).

And then at the last second they’re like “lol nope” and had them lose a handicap match (where they were at the disadvantage) and had the whole team besides Jericho and Kane get replaced? That was the height of Escobar.

That was the height of Escobar. Yeah, Ziggler, JTG, Escobar and McIntyre vs. Finlay, the Hart Dynasty, Hardy and R-Truth, Ziggler side had beaten the Finlay side in handicap matches ... then Kane came out and said actually I'm the captain too sooo you guys gotta fight in a handicap match... also Shad won't be involved because reasons... I confused that with the next years Bragging Rights which saw Kaval get on Team Smackdown... only to immediately lose his spot to newly Dreadlocked Tyler Reks... again because reasons.

Bragging Rights was never not bad. I’m pretty sure Kaval only even got on the team because he didn’t lose to Big Show. Like he had a draw and it got him on the team.
