Pro Wrestling: Top 10 Worst Gimmicks Ever [Vol. 2]

[Cobretti811]

This pretty much sums up why pro wrestling is retarded.

[EflowNivek]

I thought "Mr. America" was supposed to be terrible on purpose.

[Raven12516]

What about the spirit squad?

[TheScottishOrangutan]

What about Simon Dean?!

[Omniferis]

Glacier and Mortis was pretty good characters at first until Eric Bishoff and the other people behind the scenes started to take over. Zombie should have been number 1. Demon should have been in the greatest catagory.

[DvdjDrD]

I find it interesting that ppl mention Glacier but not the "rival" Mortis the other MK character WCW had (the late Chris Kanyon)

[thaSecretz]

Mr. America entertained me as a kid he was pretty good

[MrFranciscodude]

glacier... looks like sub zero fron mortal kombat 3

[rojoshow13]

@MrFranciscodude Glacier looks like Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat 1-all of them. Why did you say just MK3?lol And the worst gimmick wrestler of all time is & always will be, the women "wrestlers" lmfao Wrestling seemed sort of real until they started trying to make us think women can do it. Like the WNBA. Its not basketball.

[MentalSelfMutilation]

I've never been too into wrestling..but this compilation took some EFFORT and was neat to watch..!

The URL to this looked like it said FAKE ONE OUT for a moment thar

[505outlaw]

zombie is my fave

[NomnomJawsnomnom]

2:11 Tatanka (BUFFALO!) sighting.

[andrewgatz]

The Juicer? Never heard of that one before. Creepy.

[dvsmike]

@andrewgatz art Barr, he was made by Piper..literally, had him strip and put a bunch of baby powder in his hair. originally was called Beetlejuice in the northwest area and then was picked up by wcw and called the Juicer. I enjoyed the gimmick. I dressed up as him one year in junior high. As a kid I thought he was fun to watch. But of course Art Barr was more famously known as 1/2 of the Latin Heartthrobs with Eddie Guererro

[bucky468]

I forgot the Fake Diesel (another awful Glen Jacobs aka Kane gimmick) & Razor Ramon too. Rikishi as the Sultan. Mantaur as Tank from the Truth Commission.

[bucky468]

Kane as the Xmas Creature is another notable bad wrestling gimmick. Kane as Isaak Yankem too was bad. Louie Spicoli as Rad Radford was an embarassment as well.

[bucky468]

Other bad wrestling gimmicks not listed. Spirit Squad, Boogeyman, Cody Deaner, Ballz Mahoney as Xanta Clawz, Alex Wright as Berlyn, Cobra as the nWo Sting, Tokyo Magnum, Shane Douglas as Dean Douglas, Raven as Scotty Flamingo, Reese (Ron Reis aka the Yeti), One Man Gang as Hakeem, Lash LeRoux, Bastian Booger as Friar Ferguson, Tom Brandi as Salvatore Sincere, Brutus Beefcake as the Disciple (not to mention Bootyman, the Butcher & Zodiac), Batista as Deacon Batista, Disco Inferno & Well Dunn.

[RedWolfWindgear]

Sad Kizarny never had a chance be good. LOl Mr. America being on the list, but it is deserving to be here.

[bucky468]

Again, where's Snooki? Can't wait to see Vol 3. Snooki should be #1.

[elc1960]

I can't believe my man electrodinobot made two lists of bad wrestling gimmicks and didn't have the Gobbledy Gooker on either one of them. Dude, where have I failed you?

[Deathscythetransform]

glacier is just a sub-zero rip off :( the demon is just a gene simmons rip off :( the juicer a child rapist? where did you get that? any proofs?

[fozzyisjerich0]

The Zombie was just a jobber that Sandman beat up.

[meetthadoc]

I remember when glacier debuted he was undefeated for a very long time, and then after he lost for the first time, he never won a match after that.

[TH3R0CK316]

What's wrong with Kizarny?

[dukeskunk]

@TH3R0CK316 He was greener than than a seasick incredible hulk with a stomach full of brussels sprouts. The gimmick was lackluster but not horrible, but once he got in the ring it was absolute garbage.

[bucky468]

@dukeskunk He's now in ROH but not as Kizarny. ROH doesn't use or even want gimmicks. It's REAL wrestling unlike WWE & TNA (both which are loaded w/bad gimmicks.)

[Biggev77]

I liked glacier

[Hyperkid37]

Here's a Fun Fact: In addition to being a professional wrestler, The Juicer was also the inspiration for the concept of "Stranger Danger".

[sciomni2008]

WHERE IS THE RENEGADE....THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR COPY

[LegacyMEM]

glacier was beast idk wat you r talkin bout..... and mr america was so corny

do you even watch tna... black machismo should be beyond number 1......

[ImperiumDeus]

You call your own mediocre, and inaccurate, first list "classic?" What a tool.

[funkiersnoog]

The ECW Zombie was the shit lol. One of the funniest thing's I've seen in wrestling.

[TheDemonDeuce]

1:58 come on, The Demon ruled. He just wasn't used right.

[TheGlenquagmire21]

What Was Kizarny's Gimmick?

[Yrpffx21234]

I liked Kizarny...

[Damolisher]

I don't get why Glacier gets so much hate from reviewers. Shameless ripoff, yeah, but still an interesting gimmick.

[jerzeefranky3475]

I think Glacier & the "Blood Runs Cold" storyline would've worked if Bischoff & WCW weren't so Gung Ho 2wards the NWO..They would've maybe counter-balansed BOTH & EVENTUALLY had a pretty-neat hybrid of them somewhere down the line...

[Pinwormx]

I liked Glacier.

[chavitoheat]

As bad as these gimmmicks were, they brought back a lot of good memories.

[xxxFREAKDAwwGxxx]

Hulk hogan as mr america was awesme. you must be Mcmahon brother

[GStarBoyyy]

oh my god those are really worse!!!

[fogodssake]

Glacier kicked ass

[HScd1]

halo music lol

[gabypie]

Who was #9?

[DvdjDrD]

@gabypie Tony Atlas

[MitsuharuMisawaRIP]

Kizarny would have been good if they gave him a dark heel gimmick, but instead they turned him into a dumb babyface Doink

[SimulereAvDetPokkerz]

Fuck that, Glacier was a beast :P

[BjornSPhakk]

Holy Smackdown shut your mouth... for the first 15 seconds I thought "why would someone take the entrance of a video game as the 10th worst gimmick?"

And then I realised that it was real...

[rvn211]

Hey!!! Glacier was awesome!!!!

[besomiculopunta]

they are ALL so horrible how can you rank them?

[unclebobpart2]

Glacier=Sub Zero meets WCW

[arashi86]

@unclebobpart2 that's exactly the point. MK was so popular WCW needed to try and ride on it

[pikey2k8]

Its well known Zombies like to wrestle

and basketballs dont hold grudges and IM FROM WINNIPEG YOU IDIOT!

[JimJimhiphophead]

The glacier looked like sub-zeros slow cousin.

[JimJimhiphophead]

Glacier straight up looked like sub-zero.

[MrCommonSense100]

#10=lawsuit from the makers of mortal combat. #9=Lawsuit from the naacp. #2=Lawsuit from kiss. :P

[hrtuvchrome]

@MrCommonSense100 Dude, The Demon was Gene Simmons' idea. He owned all the rights to it. They also planned to have a wrestler based on Paul Stanley but the Demon didn't get over well enough.

[cybus1]

the juicer is a paedophile

[bucky468]

@cybus1 No he wasn't. Roddy Piper gave Art Barr the idea. Piper hates pedos.

[Singerfromny]

The zombie??!!! Really, lmfaoooooo

[gale31]

This is what happens when you run out of ideas more than once, twice, often!!!!

[jdmdoorsforever]

WHO IN DA BLUE HELL WAZ DA JUICER GEEZ Y DID WCW GO UNDER AGAIN

[mombo555]

ya most of these gimmicks never got past mid-card status lol

[TheComedyAsylum]

Dude, stfu. The Demon was the shit.

It involved Kiss.

[toolforthought]

you forgot Akeem the African Dream, Rick "The Model" Martel...

[coolalex111]

1:51 thts soooo hulk hogan

1:58 hey its gene simons

[TheLettersLSB]

the juicer was originally a child rapist, I hate that shit.

[bucky468]

@TheLettersLSB The Juicer was NOT a child molester. He was accused of raping an 18 or 19 yr old girl (adult age) & the accusation ruined his life. I think he ended up committing suicide b/c he was scarred for life & his career was ruined by it. Better get your facts straight. Do the research. Get a clue.

[dvsmike]

@bucky468 ummm speaking of doing research, you then should no he died of a brain anyeurism and that it was Art Barr.

[bucky468]

@dvsmike Ok nobody's perfect. I couldn't remember Barr's name. But these idiots who all him a child molester don't know WTF they're talking about.

[dvsmike]

@bucky468 agreed ;p

[TheJohnnyCotts]

@icedragon99115 Glacier and The Demon were WCW products.

[GimmeMyMoney420]

Glacier=The poor man's Sub-Zero!

[bamwo]

is number 7 also known as the Peado

[Leftysfive93]

Didn't the WCW Demon job to just about everybody?

[BLAIRPWNSALL]

They only had kizarny for 1 match and had shit loads of promos and didn't do shit it would've worked if they actually used him.

[partypack29]

Okay Saba Simba is Tony Atlas a WWE hall of famer so you got that wrong as well as Mr.America being Hulk Hogan. Glacier,Kizarny and Damien Demento are great

[tapeboi321]

lol. KIZARNY. I totally forgot about that guy!

[Densaku]

Hey. Where are the Boogieman & Hornswoggle?

[partypack29]

@Densaku They are great you have no taste

[anthony1468]

If Hulk Hogan was gonna pull a gimmick,he shoulda wear a mask that covers his entire face & not use that" I'm A Real American" song,that EVERYBODY knows he uses

[FLOYDPINKERTON0]

Is this music from Nintendo Spy Hunter?

[foodiedave]

Not sure, but I think the Goon might be Jim Breuer.

[bucky468]

@foodiedave You're WRONG. Cowboy Wild Bill Irwin (what he was in WCW & NWA) was the Goon.

[foodiedave]

@bucky468 My comment was meant as a joke, moron. Jim Breuer is a comedian and SNL alum, obviously not a wrestler. There is a resemblance, though.

[bucky468]

@foodiedave Ok I get it. I know who Breuer is. He was Goat Boy on SNL.

[ChristianCocaine]

The Juicer?! Why did he take off a little boys shirt?!

[anthony1468]

Mr. America aka HULK HOGAN: HOW PATHETIC that was!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gamelvr1]

@anthony1468 While the gimmick was terrible, at least we got the very funny (at least imo) lie detector bit out of it.

[Nethrezar]

Glacier looks like a pathetic Sub-Zero rip-off.

[sexxyjeff]

I liked Damien Demento!

[skinben101]

What's wrong with Glacier? Kiznary would have been good if they actually developed the character a bit more. The rest I agree sucked

[UdoShan]

They should've given the Zombie those "brains" from the "Katie Vick" skit... 

[DEMaggot]

0:43 ROLF!!

[tripdefect87]

Never thought I'd see a MK character in pro wrestling

[andy112382]

Wow.....forgot about the zombie.....they really gave him a mic?!?

And I am pretty sure the juicer would be arrested on the spot nowadays....or become a catholic priest.....

[EhSteve8690]

@andy112382 I'm glad Sandman beat up The Zombie

[bucky468]

@andy112382 Art Barr (as the Juicer) never molested any kids. The gimmick was given to him by Roddy Piper who is 100% against child molestation. He was ACCUSED of raping a young adult women in her late teens. WCW & latter promotions let him go b/c he wasn't performing up to par b/c he was bothered by the accusations even after charges were dropped against him.

And can the BS comments about Roman Catholicism. Not all priests are pedophiles.

[soto15beroixza]

and the bogeyman

[WIGTRON5000]

lol glacier NOTHING BEATS MY CHRIONIC KICK

[painlessissuicide]

Saba Simba was just Vince being racist

[majukun]

sub zero was on wcw?

[ghontour24]

kizarny would be great to come back and face sheamus and drew and tag with some one

[Mateo11]

Kizarny could have been a cool gimmick but the dude just couldn't work. And why is The Juicer undressing little boys? Shouldn't that have been Reverend D'Von's gimmick? Ba-dum-tishhh

[contagiousbass]

We must not forget Crowbar, or Kamala the Ugandan Giant even though kamala was quite great

[Pmonty3]

good vids

[Jokerstyle2007]

The Zombie??? MUHAHAHA

[geoffsmellsbad]

the zombie is so Warrior in disguise lol

[monta2max]

I disagree with # 10 glacier was a pretty decent wrestler..he was undefeated for quiet awhile.

there were way more worser gimmicks than him.

[quietriotfan1976]

Saba Simba......poor Tony Atlas

[painlessissuicide]

@quietriotfan1976 the only reason he took the job was because he was homeless at the time, and desperately needed money :-(

[quietriotfan1976]

@painlessissuicide

Yeah I heard stories about how down on his luck he had been. Huge fall for a man who 7-8 years before was a tag team champion

[TheJohnnyCotts]

@quietriotfan1976 I think a lot of it was that Tony Atlas did OK under Vince Sr., but he really didn't have the larger-than-life personality that Vince Jr. wanted. He was done in the WWF around 1986. I remember him being in World Class as "Superman" Tony Atlas after that.

I also think he may have "lived large". In his book, Roddy Piper said that Tony was always getting advances on his paydays.

[TheLettersLSB]

Damian Demento was the first main event of RAW, how can you say he's horrible

[TheJohnnyCotts]

@TheLettersLSB He was? I don't remember him ever winning a match.

[statscan11]

Glacier is a Sub Zero want a be.

[MrCantfindanynames]

When I seen the Zombie on the "new" ECW. I thought to myself: Well at least they had a good run in the 90's (lol). Vince had no concern with bringing it back to the caliber it once was.

[SturmWolfe]

...very cheesy music to go with your videos lol

[silvercream69]

@dorkscrew, Because he was a pedophile?

[megamurg]

Kizarmy was a pretty cool wrestler, but his style just wasnt for the wwe

[tways040204]

what about "Capt". Mike Rotundo.

[MarkFanboyX]

Hey, the Zombie was aweomse!

[judgementday24]

Beaver Cleavage looks like Samoa Joe lol

[dorkscrew]

who the hell is the juicer?! and why is he running around with little kids and taking their shirts off?!

[tolldoll100]

@dorkscrew The late Art Barr was The Juicer.

[thegregg]

Outback Jack, The Sultan, and the Machines couldve been on that list as well

[TheJohnnyCotts]

@thegregg The Machines were pretty big in Japan, but in the WWF it was another story, especially when they kept having other wrestlers as Machines, like "The Hulk Machine".

[midwestthrillschad]

Hey!...I actually liked Damian Demento!  He had a crazy look, and and a good gimmick with looking toward the ceiling and talking to nobody.

[ShantyIrishman]

No Boogeyman?

[dbsommers1]

Roddy Piper had the best comment about Atlas's 'Samba Simba' gimmick, Simba meaning 'See I'm Making Bucks Again.'

[keimeira]

i didn''t think the glacier thing was at all bad considerin his fightin style but it's just my opinion. as far as the zombie dude goes, i can still remember seein & hearin him on the mic thinkin wtf, havin someone just go "rawwwr" & what if he got attacked/encroached will he run or just take an asskickin for he sake of stayin in character lol. omg that was so awful watchin that haha

[uBullDogs]

WTF the zombbie???

[RottingNegZero]

i was actually a fan of the demon even though it was the evil spawn of gene and vince

[DFWDan]

Kizarny is not a PG character. Sinn is a good wrestler and has a great character but you can't water it down enough for the WWE audience and it still be effective.

[keimeira]

@DFWDan from what i heard in his interviews he was makin some really gr8 points about who he was vs. what certain ppl in the business look for

[DocLeggz]

The Juicer? I had no idea Barry Bonds ever wrestled!

[shikamaru1502]

why the hell was kiss there

[rubenick]

@shikamaru1502 Gene needed money?? ;)

[h3llgn0m3]

@shikamaru1502 The Demon was a wrestler in WCW. When he made his debut, KISS performed "God of Thunder" live on an episode of WCW Monday Nitro.

[Soccerjc03]

Man you forgot superman john cena

[TheGaffney1]

Kizarny was awesome!

[jamyn1998]

The zombie looks like the ultimate warrior

[clockworkmike83]

The zombie?!?! Holy shit thats awful lol! love the retarded grunting

[LiTTLeDizZyUriNe]

omg thanks for posting. i freaking loved glacier it was like he played killer instint and mortal kombat and was like " I got It!"

[RDK619]

not kizarny

[Vukedin]

Damian Demento?!? He is famous for jobbing to the Undertaker... He is also a pissed off asshole these days. LOL

[jbaby5000]

Man, Glacier could kick your nuts right out of your sac on WCW/NWO on the N64...aah, those were the days.

[philliesfan610]

i love the zombie

[daroofa]

Zombie got mike skills

[DaCliq]

the juicer's a pedo

[nWo315]

@DaCliq i wonder what he juices lol



[Crazydude156]

@nWo315 You dont want to know man....you dont want to know

[clockworkmike83]

@nWo315 Looks like he juices lil kids weiners!

[TheGreatOne46773]

its ok

[elc1960]

The late Art Barr as the Juicer. Beaver Cleavage was later one of the Headbangers (can't remember if he was Mosh or Thrasher). This KISS Demon was actually Dale Torborg, the son of former MLB manager and player Jeff Torborg. The later Demon was the late Chris (Klucsarits) Kanyon. The only one of these I don't remember seeing is Kizarny.

[shadowhawk37]

@elc1960 Kizarny is SINN from James Mitchell the Deciples of the New Church. The wrestled Raven and his Gathering in early TNA

[elc1960]

@shadowhawk37 Thanks for the info. I've only been watching TNA since 2006 and didn't see the early days.

[IsaacWilliam1]

U could u tell me why they suck???for me its kinda funny and entertaining

[darknessofsauske]

THE DEMON is awesome

[darthdoodie101]

seriously A Sub Zero Gimmick???

[lordofshellfish]

Mr. USA lolz Hulk hogan

[Kontiovaara]

Saba Simba? Are you serious. He a legend.

[TheJohnnyCotts]

@Kontiovaara Tony Atlas was a legend. Saba Simba was just plain stupid.

[Kontiovaara]

@TheJohnnyCotts nah there was nothing wrong with Saba Simba.

[AceOfHearts65]

the juicer has all those kids with him he took the shirt off of one looks like a rapist

[jseedoubleu]

the zombie looks and sound slike the ultimate warrior

[MsXxelliexx]

Robot dude, Idian dude, the Zombie, the jucier, Kizarny (I hated him) Goon, Mr. America (He have USA spirt but still retarded) The Demon, and the 1st one was all retadered

[manfromgilead]

Glacier was awesome. I was 10 years old when he debuted, but I will go to my grave defending his gimmick.

[LivingDeadVideos]

Is the guy demento is fighting Seanbaby? XD wtf, nice hair

[peterathwal99]

i love the nintendo spy hunter music, fuckin awesome!

[bazzahtid86]

omg number 7 "the juicer" is his gimmick a pedophile or something LMAO ha ha

[salogeo]

@bazzahtid86 i thought exactly the same with all those lil kids around him

[TheCuriousOrange83]

Where's Robocop?

[NJluna24]

#2-KISS?

[dhuggz]

I was so sick of those blood runs cold ads

[asroul92]

just be a normal guy...what a waste gimmicks :(

[MIKETX76]

I dont think the Zombie should be in included since it was a one time gimmick. Still forgot Bastian Booger

[ABK209]

How could u forget that one guy, messiah or somethin like that, he was the luchadore circuit then went to tna for a bit fueding with abyss, don't forget abyss too, mankind wanna-be...lol....shark boy, or the fake diesal and razor ramon, repo-man....lol

[topdinero]

@ABK209 papa shngo the regenade ultimate warrior wannabe in wcw..
