who ever made this video is a complete asshole he/she doesnt know how to differentiate worst and best gimicks! how about JOHN CENA's fruity PEBBLES????WELL THATS WORST!!!!!
I thought the gimmicks were part of the point? Now it's a bunch of 20 year old guys dressed in plastic pants, and their gimmick is just being arrogant. Plus, I could put up with any gimmick except for Sting as The Crow.
Wow... You put Gargrel, Goldust, and Doink the Clown on a list of wort gimmicks? I think maybe only 10 of those were actually bad gimmicks. I'd love to see what your definition of a good gimmick is. The world of wrestling requires a certain suspension of disbelief. That's why there are gimmicks in the first place. Without them it would just be MMA or Olympic wrestling. Why is it that people with the worst opinions fell the need to share them the most?
@megamanmaniac If a company makes the creative decision to put a title on a poor worker/wrestler with a crap gimmick, that doesnt mean the wrestler ceases to be so, it just means the booking squad made a stupid decision. Great Khali was given a world title, and he's a piss-poor worker. Ditto Mark Henry. John Cena is a very flawed in-ring worker.
.....And WCW put their world title on DAVID ARQUETTE, does that mean HE wasn't CRAP as a wrestling performer?
Only Mike Rotunda could make the IRS gimmick work. The mask on the Sultan was to hide his identity lol. Issac Yankem hehehehe. I don't see what's wrong with The BodyDonnas. Disco Inferno was arrested a few years ago in my hometown for playing poker. Bastian Booger should be Kharma's "baby daddy" LMAO. Why is Arachnaman 12, not 2? Tied for 8th is Gangrel and Giant Gonzales. And The Shockmaster should be #1!!!
Adrian Adonis, The Genius, Akeem and Goldust were all really effective heels. The fans hated them and they were supposed to. Akeem was probably the funniest gimmick ever. But there is a lot of awfulness on this list, so well done.
How are the Bushwackers or Honkey tonk man on this list or even doink? Those guys were super over....... I saw WWE wrestling live and when the Bushwackers came out the crowd went nuts....
I'd have to say Battle Kat is #1. He didn't even make the list. I know it's hard to include everyone, especially guys that only lasted a couple of weeks on TV...
road block! anyone remember him? ..3 count....almost everything russo did in wcw2k ....fake diesel fake razor ..every one will complain about this but .....sting the crow, because it was a clear rip off...sting the joker, another clear rip off of popular culture...but yea l agree with souldescender24 #1 david arquette.
"Dr. Isaac Yankem......pushed too far one day in his office, decided to take a mild.....sabbatical. Only no one would know just how far this vacation would take his mind...." Bonus points for the kids who know where he went off to
Age Outlaws. Max Moon, The Goon, The Shockmaster, and The Bodydonnas were all pathetic. At least with The Bodydonnas we did get to see Sunny...But, the two worst (at least IMO). Have to be Oz and The Gobbledy Gooker. Other dastardly financial disaster for WCW using Kevin Nash (who I'm a big fan of) with a classic movie in The Wizard of Oz. And, The Gobbledy Gooker dancing with Mean Gene. That didnt get mentioned on WWF TV for over a decade.
Mortal Kombat. You thought he would go straight for the title but was stuck in the mid-card. Dean Douglas was a horrible character, but wasn't around long enough to make an impact. A shame due to Shane Douglas' talent. I actually thought that Aldo Montoya had a LITTLE talent. Some agility, athletic moves, etc. Though, his mask did look like a jock strap. Billy and Chuck. Yeesh. I'm assuming that in REAL-LIFE Billy Gunn and Jesse James must have pissed off Vince because I LOVED the New

were actually the only team ever to beat the Legion of Doom TWICE for the tag belts. I don't have a real issue Bob Holly either, what's wrong with a NASCAR driver. There are millions of NASCAR drivers who are pro wrestling fans anyways. The Renegade was strictly a rip off of the Ultimate Warrior. Glacier was an interesting case.

Superstars in the late 90s. I don't know if Papa Shango was all that good of a gimmick or not, but those vignettes with the Ultimate Warrior in the early 90s were classic. Regardless if the matches stunk. I think that Isaac Yankem, DDS gets a pass since he made massive success as Kane. But, I will admit, it was a horrible gimmick. I actually thought I.R.S. wasn't a bad gimmick and he fit in well with The Million Dollar Man and the excellent tag team of Money, Inc. in the early 90s. They
First off, I got to agree with TheMadStork83. What is with the music selection. Boy George and Culture Club. Like poison to my ears. I also think that Cena should be on there. Horrible gimmick and he is a no talent ass-clown. If I was at a live event I would be right in the middle of the "Cena Sucks" chants. I disagree with the Goldust selection. I thought that was a decent gimmick. I actually was a big Adam Bomb in middle/high school. He actually had a pretty good fan base on
Poor poor Shockmaster that poor guy will NEVER live down botching what could have been one of the greatest wrestling entrances after a long build up. But no, he had to trip coming through a wall and look like a fool. I guess being Typhoon in the Natural Disasters with Earthquake didn't require him to do as much.
Glacier what can I say, they built that poor guy up and up on the promos until I couldn't even stand to see them anymore. When I finally got to see him wrestler I was let way down.
Repo Man, Adam Bomb, and a few other were great gimmick but Gangrel and goldust? come on they were awsome imo. Wrestling needs gimmicks because thats what makes wreslting, thats what makes it so entertaining, ok there are some really bad ideas like the gobbledy gooker also the ding dongs were terrible.
you dont know your history,theres way worse gimmicks...goldust is great...doink was different...how about the pug...the dingdongs...who,mantaur,the equalizer,man mountain rock,sandman as a surfer,freddy krueger from memphis,qwee wee,flapjack norton,nightstalker,the panda bear dude in japan...ect.study the eras duke.
It all has to do with the man behind the Gimmick... Even the Undertaker would be a bad gimmick with the wrong person doing it. Teams like Demolition and L.O.D would also be terrible with the wrong people.
Papa Shango, Adambomb, I.R.S & Repoman I think is great Gimmicks.
The Berzerker I think would have been a good gimmick without making him Soooo stupid...Doink was great as a heel but really sucked as a face and the whole thing was ruined by dink and the other little clowns.
Ekhofs you are just like all the other brainwashed fools who kiss the ass of Vince McMahon and cheer for whatever crap he puts on his show, moron PS use your Internet to look at real wrestling like the NWA circa 1980/1988 when men used persona's and not gimmicks to get over
@bigtiny73 I really don´t kiss ass of Vince McMahon....I Love the stuff he put on his show between the Years of 1988 and 1992... but I could´nt care less about the crap he does now. I admit that i don´t know much about NWA in the 80´s...So what!?!?! I love late 80´s WWF because that´s what i grew up with so i am satisfied with that.
Really, Vinnie Vegas? Bushwackers? Papa Shango? Gangrel? Goldust? None of those gimmicks were bad. But then you went there... You cut me real deep with Disco Inferno and Glacier... How dare you include those two.
papa shango? really? gangrel and the headbangers were cool too. you know kevin nash is bad at gimmicks when both his vinnie vegas and oz characters were on here. lol. but people like the bezerker, red rooster, repo man, tugboat, and such is fine. robocop was okay in my opinion. you want who should have been the #1 worse gimmick on here besides leatherface...DAVID ARQUETTE!!!
the hells wrong with headbangers, goldust and gangrel.... these guys are intertaining... sparkplug bog holly became one of the best hardcore champions ever when he became hardcore holly, u have legends like von erich and doink up there.. papa shango was epic and fun to watch, robocop gimmick was just a promo, for capital combat 90, seriously... these gimmicks are a hell of a lot better then the shit we have now... come on, super man cena, the viper randy orton. all these new gimmicks bite
jeezus, where to begin with this train wreck. The fact you don't have Shockmaster at number 1 pretty much discredits the whole list. Leatherface had a really good career overseas and was very popular. Gangrel was ahead of his time and was a great character. So much else is wrong I can't even get into it.
dude get a life nothing is wrong with the bushwackers they were the best tag team out there they were the only nz wrestlers so dont diss them there epic and try tell me there not
come on lets be honest all of the characters were entertaining at on time, if only to laugh at. Some of the sharacters had to go through multiple personas till one stuck
Leatherface? Really? If we're talking about the original Leather, the man formerly known as Corp. Kirsnher in WWF, then you, sir, are out of your mind, and apparently aren't too "up" or schooled on wrestling. He was amazing in the ring, and the gimmick worked fantastic in it's time and place.
Not sure if it's been mentioned here or not but when he first was used in the WWE. Holly's named was Thurman "Sparky" Plugg, which was far worse than Bob "Spark Plug" Holly.
Need to add the "new" Razor Ramon and Diesel, and Lenny and Lodi - Take off IRS, Doink, and Goldust, and Sunny!!! I dont care what a Body Donna was , back then she made anything look good!!
goldust, gangrel, the headbangers, billy and chuck, sparkyplug bob holly, and chainsaw charlie dont belong but the rest is pretty good i think. i might be forgeting someone tho
i.r.s, really? Gangrel had a decent run and goldust was the man, well sortof. there was something very wrong with Billy and Chuck. Most of this list is right.
I.R.S, Rythem And Blues, The Goon, Skinner, BushWackers, Tug Boat, RepoMan, Papa Shango, Gangrel, Giant Gonzales, Goldust, Doink The Clown These Guys Should Not be On The List Who Should Be On There Is Cena
I disagree with "The Genius." Especially since Lanny's poetry books have received critical appraise. These types of list are pretty much subjective. However, I respect your right to your opinion.
@ChuckNChan Robocop never wrestled WCW had Robocop do a run in and save Sting from the 4 Horseman in the early 90's and Leatherface is a long running and quite popular gimmick that was used mostly in Japan, most notably by FMW
how about the blacktop bully, duke the dumpster drosey, the ding dongs,that 70's guy mike awesome, the full blodded italians, farrooq, the boogeyman, rad radford,the dungeon of doom,the ringmaster the list goes on and on and on.
without the body donnas there would be no sunny, and for gold dust didnt he hold the I.C. title like 3 times or something so he couldnt have been that bad. And doink is probly gonna be in the wwf H.o.F.
here's what i don't get what was wrong with goldust,gangrel, and doink and also there was nothing wrong with the headbangers they were entertaining as hell and also there was nothing wrong with billy and chuck either
Gangrel and Goldust should definately NOT be on this list! thery were so underated and especially Golddust's gimmick was and still is one of the best in my opinion!
how are the bushwhakers, doink, johnny b. bad, genious, irs, billy and chuck, and golddust on the list, but phantasio isn't. you think that phantasio was better than all of them... apparently you do
wow... seems like you're an 8th grade dropout with some serious opinions about important issues like hardcore wrestling. :) Try not to have the same guy repeated 3 times on your next 'Top 50 list' lol....
@petar1shuwack I would choose I.R.S., Doink, and Adam Bomb to be removed. But I love the old days of WWF. And I realize Goldust was there too. He debuted in a feud with Razor Ramon if I remember correctly.

Wrestling didn't need so many ridiculous gimmicks anyways. It was the economy-not a lack of interest so why the circus acts?

Leatherface? Really? If we're talking about the original Leather, the man formerly known as Corp. Kirsnher in WWF, then you, sir, are out of your mind, and apparently aren't too "up" or schooled on wrestling. He was amazing in the ring, and the gimmick worked fantastic in it's time and place.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here or not but when he first was used in the WWE. Holly's named was Thurman "Sparky" Plugg, which was far worse than Bob "Spark Plug" Holly.

I would put in The Patriot, The Executioner, hell even the Narcissist was pretty bad even though it was Lex Luger as bad gimmicks
