I completely lost interest after Demolition and admittedly didn’t watch much in his Repo and Blacktop Bully Days.
So which character did you find the worst and why?
The three all seemed silly to me, but the worst seems to be his golfing personae in my book

Just plain Barry Darsow: Plain red trunks, SRS, looked like a jobber...well...was a jobber.

The Blacktop Bully made some sense to me, because yeah, you can see some big truck driver getting into wrestling, but a wrestling golfer?

I went with Blacktop Bully. Repo Man and Hole in One were so over the top and ridiculous that they were entertaining in a campy way. Bully was just kind of boring and it also seemed like they were actually trying to push him as a legit upper midcard heel which was way above his station as Darsow post 1990 was pretty awful in the ring. With Repo and Whole in One he was lower card heel who put the faces over which was the perfect spot for him.

I sorta enjoyed both Repo Man and Blacktop Bully.
The golf gimmick was just lame. At least "thief" and "trucker" conveyed a certain amount of badassery.

I loved them all.
Interestingly enough, I listened to a shoot several years ago and he couldn't remember doing the Hole in One Darsaw gimmick. The interviewer had to explain it to him.

I actually love Hole In One and enjoy Blacktop in retrospect. I HATED the Repoman gimmick. Like when he stole a womans watch and Roddy Piper tried to get it back. I wanted to vomit I thought it was so stupid. Loved Smash and Krusher Kruschev also.

None of them?
Seriously, he made me laugh no matter what role he was in, even the Hole in One character!

I posted about this before but evil golfer could be an incredible lower card gimmick if done correctly.

Wasn't he also Krusher Kruschev?

I’m voting Krusher Kruschev for being the most half-assed Russian gimmick this side of the masked Russian Assassin.
At least Hole In One and Blacktop Bully were comical. Repo Man is a legend.

I’m voting Krusher Kruschev for being the most half-assed Russian gimmick this side of the masked Russian Assassin. Kruschev was never presented as Russian, but as an American ex-patriot who defected to the commie side. There was even an angle where he renounced his American citizenship and the Crusher Darsow gimmick, rechristening himself Krusher Kruschev.

Trick question. All Barry Darsows are the best. Seriously he’s one of my favorite midcard acts in history. Even as plain trunks jobber to the stars Barry Darsow in WCW he was one of my favorite parts of the show. He always played to the crowd in entertaining fashion and his work was simple yet effective. And he’s a great guy to boot. Barry Darsow is the man.

Clicked on this thread thinking Hole in One and my fellow posters didn't disappoint.

Remember before he was home in one, he was Stewart pain. But golfer Payne Stewart passed and he changed it to hold on one.
