Pro Wrestling: Top 10 Worst Gimmicks Ever

[iheartnonamejane]

I go into every situation fully cocked.

[RCoolAli]

wheres john cena???

[CLewey44]

Mr. America was awesome. I bet no other "silly" gimmicks got pops like Mr. America!

[fuckooo]

Nice list, the Kiss Demon was also terrible.

[sandwelltom]

i liked gillberg

[schooltrashers]

Hey...GILLBERG ROCKS!!

[RattleheadDeth]

The last guy had a Stormtrooper helmet on. haha



[Leloup6760]

Ok, I want to hear your argument for this list. Gillberg was obviously a joke, while have Arquette as champion breaks the scale of suckage, it wasn't a gimmick. The mummy barely qualifies as a gimmick, as it was only used during Halloween, it doesn't work any other time. Eugine was fuggin' ENTERTAINING!!! Better than half the serious wrestlers on TNA, yes, I'm serious bro. Never heard of Phantasimo, looked.... interesting. Shockmaster is a given, but cliche.

[Pattonfrodo]

what? no Gobbledy Gooker ??? lol :)

[DrBananaKing7000]

WTF Gillberg and Eugene were funny as hell. And I don't think David Arquette was a gimmick, he was himself. Where was Dustin Rhodes WCW character Seven?

[DVKNIGHT000]

David arquette FTW LMAO :D

[64offsuiter]

Who remember the mean street posse, bull Buchanan, hogan as Mr America, Eric young as super Eric, abyssamania, the funkasaurus now. Worst current gimmick anyone?

[SemiBaked]

Gotta love the Dirty White Boy

[Wafflebaby33]

Don't be hatin' on mah boy Eugene!

[ebz1221]

Hands down Undertaker.... worst of all time because of how popular agimmick so dumb can become

[wattskody]

Gillberg was funny the first time . After that it was old

[COOLJOHAAN1]

was the mommy humping them

[COOLJOHAAN1]

#1 was very funny

[McVitiesmuffinjohn]

was I the only person who thought Phantasmo was awesome? lol :S

[y2achris]

Phantasio! Never heard of him!

[BridgewatersFinest]

Definitely agree many of these. But Gillberg? Really? Gillberg was hilarious! And David Arquette doesn't really count as a "gimmick", does it? He was just... David Arquette.

[blub58412]

WHERE THE HELL IS BASTION BOOGER

[OfficialSykoSolja]

THE YETAYEEEEEEE

[loveyoumickfoley]

wht abt festus.... :pp

[Holyshizification]

Gillberg was a legend !

[lacancomplices]

Thanks for this video! Great work

[jeste4187]

OK, Awesome list but I gotta disagree on Gillberg. If anything, it was ingenious of Vince to write in a spoof of Goldberg. Plus, it was a gimmick which made fun of a gimmick, so technically it wasn't a real gimmick, lol. Loved the list though.

[johnnybanton]

Rob van dam, worst gimmeck ever!

[IncensePeppermints68]

@johnnybanton how is rob van dam a gimmick?

[StephanieHua]

#1 should have been robocop saving Sting in WCW.

Look it up.

[heatman233223]

gillberg was awesome hahaha

[willzyboy12]

phantasio was amazing look up phantasio vs tony de vito!!

[elvylanda]

Great video!!! Keep up the great work.

[ShatteredDreamsProd1]

Not even going to lie. Phantasio is pretty badass.

[msagaris]

Mantaur=Brodus Clays Father!!

[JerFhilm]

I like the mummy hugshake. "What in the hell is going on?"

[stefanmayne]

phantasio was a good wrestler

[Galactis]

Eugene was MLG

[puduhge]

Gillburg was meant to be bad and whats wrong with Eugine? i love that, he was funny, just hate how they made him main event and then...nothing!

[Hardygirl4eternity]

i loved Eugene

[TheShockninja]

Switch Gillberg with Kwang, David Arquette with Mordecai, and Phantasio with Arachnaman and the list would be perfect.

[NiteSoldier88]

@TheShockninja mordecai was badass you ass

[aquilonian]

Phantasmo looked interesting.

[msparkyb]

the red rooster is not going into summerslam half cocked

[doodoobro2627]

@msparkyb CTFU

[Alucard20039]

OMG!!!! i spit my food all over my laptop at the SHOCKMASTER!!! that guy cracks me up

[tg0926]

WHAT?!?! Gillberg RULED!

[Nethrezar]

Eugene was a disgrace

[RevJoshsFunhouse]

Gillberg wasn't really a gimmick, he was a parody. And David Arquette wasn't a gimmick either, he was a publicity stunt. And Phantasio was pretty cool actually

[Wakka12321]

I loved Eugene :(

[SupaMario64]

I use to be a professional arrow, then I took a wrestler in the knee.

[solitarylonewolf]

I don't know, I kinda liked Phantasio. I gotta admit, l didn't expect a lot of the stuff he did in and out of ring. He was definitely comfortable in the ring too.

[Derby14]

Agree with all except Gillberg (good satire) and Eugene (who was legitimately funny). It would be difficult to make a case against including any of the others.

[McHaleMega]

LOL @ The sign that had the handicap symbol and said I stole Eugene's parking spot.

[MrJDUFFY123]

yay paper mairo song

[ReservoirDog101]

shockmaster....shudder.

[rskwame]

binary code!

[mort0612]

#6 orange power ranger :)

[jermeeee]

Forgetting John Cena as a rapper and Paul Burchill as a pirate.

[theword1975]

Eugene was special.

[TheArtistV1]

Um...David ARquette wasnt a gimmick....

[mbatten55]

Gilberg is hilarious

[DWDuck004]

C'mon- Eugene and The Red Rooster rocked.

[acenace24]

John Cena is the worst

[eveihl]

Phantasio was awesome and could be great with kids nowadays

[pacmanfever100]

What happen to the fake Razor Ramon and fake Diesel?

[svsuitalianguy5]

eugene was a good one

[McHaleMega]

LOL RoboCop. I used to write to Jakks every month asking for a Sting-RoboCop 2-pack.

[crackernumber2]

i liked repo man....

[Lyle24Odelein]

where is THE GOON?

[1960Carolynn]

So this is what I've missed over the last 20 years?

[PhillyRE]

Ah come on is that a stormtrooper helmet!??? Horrible !!!

[lukadeadman99]

thinka about think like david arquette comes as ghostface that would be kinnda cool

[youxfailme]

Gillberg > Goldberg

[Britomartus]

Personally I was a big fan of Eugene!

[CamSTL]

WHAT!!! Gillberg was way over. He was meant to be a joke/parody and the fans loved it. Remember folks...You can't be FIRST but you can be NEXT lol

[DarkMark777]

how could you put eugene in there he was very entertaining

[InvisibleMan542]

Biggest jobbers of all time, I'd say Virgil, Brooklyn Brawler, Barry Horowitz,

[InvisibleMan542]

Top 5 worst gimmicks, 1. Zanta Clause, 2. Doink the Clown, 3. Dean Douglas, 4. T.L. Harper, 5. Abyss (Abyss coulda been sort of cool, but TNA books him to be a complete joke).... That's at least as far as I know of any of the big companies.

[Jesseprovence]

Were the hell are duece and domino

[FerretJohn]

Gillberg was a great gimmick, a thumb to the nose to WCW. Eugene coulda been a good gimmick if they had kept pushing Dinsmore instead of making him a loser. Personally I'd go with a few of Lawler's less-inspiring ideas from Memphis: Tagar the Fire Lord, Korchenko the Russian, and the Ninja Turtle

[AspirinTablets]

lol was robocop on the title screen?

[florianfan2008]

i quite liked eugene

[XcXtrippyXcX]

Gillberg was awesome goddamit

[Kadeemspade]

I Think John Cena- Marine should be on this list lol

[filcom101]

2:52 the trick was actually good

[filcom101]

2:52 the trick was actually good

[WiLDHaNdZ]

eugene should be out.. and replace with giant gonzalez

[abanahasky73]

Gilbert ruled...SUCK IT!!!

[becomeaprowrestler]

Gillberg should have been swapped with Xanta Claus. Poor Balls Mahoney....

[MrAngryRetard]

this is bs david arqutte is a deserving champion. you havent seen eight legged freaks!

[stingstungme]

I think it is safe to say that just about any 7 footer with the exception of maybe Andre, Big Show, Matt Morgan belong on this list.

El Gigante and Khali were atrocious.

The WWE in the 80's were full of bad gimmicks and bad wrestlers.

I still think Billy and Chuck along with the damn Spirit Squad are worse than some of these...only because I remember them.

[stingstungme]

David Arquette wasn't a gimmick. He was himself.

[stingstungme]

I don't remember Mantaur. Wth is that anyway?

Ding Dong? Glad I don't remember. Don't remember Phatasio either. Come to think of it, none of these are worth remembering.

[hayate25]

man gillberg was the best lol

[acenace24]

Wrestlemania 28 Main Event:

Gillberg vs The Yetti vs The Red Rooster vs David Arquette vs Phantasio

BOOK IT!!!!

[ScyberPsylock]

They definitely did not utilize Terry Taylor the way he deserved to be used. He was a damn fine wrestler who had incredible talent.

[stingstungme]

@ScyberPsylock Right! I'm glad someone remembered Terry Taylor before his silly gimmick.

[ScyberPsylock]

#999,999 right here, one more for the million!

[cristianvictoria74]

shock master mask is a storm trooper with blue glidder

[Ultrabrut1]

It's still real to me, dammit!!!!

[harze1968]

ROFL AT THE END AHAHAHA!!

[gangrail]

wow at the end i guess he wasn't cut out to be a storm trooper

[Darkeklaw]

The Kiss Demon was a good Idea just WCW wasn't really behind it.

[deathfromabove1184]

DUDE ARE YOU HIGH GILLBERG WAS TITS MAN

[ketsustyle]

@deathfromabove1184 agreed

[CorpseGrinder1313]

@deathfromabove1184 Seriously! And so was Eugene!!! Lol!!

[rebal180]

LMAO you would have to be huge wuss to run from Jeff fucking Jarrett

David Arquette is a fail fuck

[Holowachuk]

the shockmaster wears a stormtrooper helmet.

take a look.

REALLY!

[edvhou812]

#4 and #2 were pretty fucking bad.

[lions4life2]

Should had put the Gobbler :p

[MrJayra210]

gillberg was funny tho lol

[gtafanboy32]

Eugene has a better gimmick then Fastus

[gtafanboy32]

#9 Gillberg LOL he sucks all the way

[IscariotXVI]

#5 = CaddyShack reference.

[MSH786]

Nah, Gillberg and Eugene were funny and awesome gimmicks, well, until they lasted...lol!

[AxelCutlass]

There's still brain damaged Eric Young and bisexual rapist Orlando Jordan.

[704Hustle]

lmao @ 4..the fuck was he doin

[acenace24]

Chris Beniot forgot to straggle and shoot Eugene

[Carrinthe]

Shockmaster,..... still put's a smile to my face. That was really bad,... when it rains it pours,....

[ThatOneEmoKidd]

Phantasio looks like a gay version of Sting.

[thekidcuse2000]

10. Who?

9. I agree, but had his moments.

8. Whatever lol.

7. WCW's death stunt!

6. Never saw them.

5. I need pipes fixed.

4. The Zombie version 1.0!

3. Eugene was fun to watch.

2. A mime?

1. Super fail of wrestling!

[TheChriskills]

what about festus that fucking retard

[olstar18]

Don't really think eugene and gillberg should be on the list since they weren't really serious gimmicks just parodies.

[pwnage826]

GIIIIIIIILBERG

[pauls176]

Excellent work, God the Yeti was terrible.

[noicon85]

@ merpski. And they played the right way. Mantaur, good idea but WWE portrayed him wrong.

[DXSUCKIT1990]

Music is from the boss battle on Paper Mario on N64.

[prepaidbrian]

GILLBERG WAS GREAT.....

[DancinChuck]

You forgot the Gobbletygooker.



[cstar75]

"That's not Eugene territory."

LOL

and, uhhhhh, #1 looks like a fat, bedazzled Storm-Trooper

[casbah1982]

Where's John Cena on this? "White boy rapper" is the worst gimmick anyone could have.

[Boogyman4050]

Honda...Doink the Clown was pretty funny. I remember him a long time ago. Eugene wasn't that bad. Playing the tough retard act. The guy was a good wrestler.

[KoryNecro]

HOW IS GILLBERG A HORRIBLE GIMMICK EVEN CHUCK NORRIS RUNS FROM GILLBERG

[SinisterHustle]

gillberg was dope

[merpski]

eugene and gilbert were goofy but good gimicks cause they got fan support

[riptorn311]

LOLOLOLOL...the shockmaster....with the stormtrooper helmet.

[ItalianBlackheart123]

I still think Kevin thorn and gangrel hd the worst gimmicks ever lol

[TangerineWizard123]

Fuck you, Eugene rocked!!!

[300MUSIC]

awesome kong's tampon was the best gimmick ever

[TrevorSteven]

Gillberg wasn't a horrible gimmick - he was a deliberate funny spoof of Goldberg. Also, Eugene really wasn't that horrible of a gimmick either - against all odds he became very popular, teaming with William Regal. Eugene got that hot he had a match vs Triple H at Summerslam 2004. Horrible gimmicks are gimmicks that bomb, most of this top 10 was correct on that score, Gillberg & Eugene apart.

[djp928]

No way! Gillberg was a great gimmick!

[MegaHardcore76]

Yeah, those gimmicks were pretty bad. Wow, I forgot about the Ding Dongs. They were horrible lol.

[Metal1998]

Hey! gilberg rocks!

[AudreyTheProvocative]

I would assert that professional "wrestling" itself is one of the worst gimmicks ever, not just these gimmicks listed in the video.

[joe579003]

Gillberg is LEGEND

[Discmatic1]

1:53 ....who's that jerk?

[xxxxHACKEDxxxx]

WHO'S THE MUMMIE?

[twistedsisterx]

Eugene. <3

[Romulus123]

I told ya.....oh god

LMAO

[fefe83013]

Noooooooooooooooooooo Red Rooster no.....

[16rumpole]

the gobbledygooker has to be number 1

[dru713281]

omg freakin shit thanks alot fat guy at the end i laughed so hard i almost had a convulsion i woke up my girl who got mad cause now she is awake and want me to take her out to lunch thanks alot man it was freakin priceless but man this one truly i will remember for while ps my dogs started barking at me probably because i havent laughed liked that since i had them which is about 4 months i mean seriouly it hurt me later where i had a headache from lauging soo hard omg i know that was real poker

[1mrslapzilla]

lol,the last guy the assmaster,lol.

[mankei13]

mantaur was great

[St3v3Patrio7]

Paper Mario is so close to my heart, thanks for the music.

[TKManUTD1989]

are you kidding, giberg was awesome. and you forgot oz (kevin nash's gimmick from wcw). it was terrible, just aweful.

[FerretJohn]

Tagar the Fire Lord, The Wolfman, The Gobbledegooker, Giant Gonzales, Gorchenko the Russian Brute, Papa Shango, the Boogieman, the Desperados, just about everyone in GLOW, there are so many more. Eugene was actually a potentially good gimmick, it was the WWE creative guys who couldn't use it right. Red Rooster though was the worst, took one of the best wrestlers around and all but destroyed his career.

[wolfphoenix813]

You forgot Glacier from WCW

[zZHighTimeZz]

@wolfphoenix813 Glacier was good

[TooMuchGass]

Damn you russo

[scottyzemke]

you forgot the goon

[newlytrollin]

Bastion Booger needs to be on this list.

[HarumPL]

whers's cena, stasiak, deuce, domino, The Viper Orton, Dashing & UnDashing Cody Rhodes, The Miz, Michael Cole and american made abyss ?!

[mankei13]

@HarumPL i dont thing they are real gimmiks except deuce and domino. there are no more gimmiks in wwe today

[deadfrik]

But the worst thing of all is that David Arquette wasn´t a gimmick.

He was just... emm... David Arquette.

[MCAN]

I loved Gillberg!

[electrodinobot]

1 million here we come!

[mrtalent09]

@electrodinobot Hey I didn't think eugene was a terrible gimmick. I thought Nick Dinsmore did a great job playing that character and made it entertaining. Gillberg was hilarious as well

[harze1968]

@electrodinobot almost there bro ;)

[Prepare4Buddha]

I want to see David Arquette vs. The Red Rooster for The WCW Worst Gimmick Championship!

[DW1014]

hold up gillberg was bad on purpose why was it even on the list you should of put the kiss guy from wcw that was horrible

[MrMaChONaChOMan]

@DW1014 Sting?

[DW1014]

@MrMaChONaChOMan Hell no Sting was and is great my fav wrestler I'm talking about this guy that was suppose to be a demon of Kiss he fought Sting look it up he sucked so bad

[MrMaChONaChOMan]

@DW1014 was it the guy that like appeared after WCW and Kiss had a show on the same night in Vegas? if its him then yeah he sucks real bad

[DW1014]

@MrMaChONaChOMan smh yeah

[jackiswwe789]

i'm not an expert but isn't a yeti a big fur thing not a person covered in bandages

[TheOnlyCobraman]

i do agree with a few of your list but then i don't agree with most of the peeps on your list.

[Cadbil]

lol this song is from Paper Mario! Epic Win!

[Ndee584]

@Cadbil

yes, bowser battle song ^^

[DaR3ALeffingD3AL]

Eugene was the fucking SHIT, leave him alone!!!

[ECWhead28]

who was number 5?

yeah these guys all suck like no other has sucked before them but where the hell is the gobbldygooker or the black scprpion?...those guys make you envy the b
