Worst Wrestling Gimmicks - Blu-ray Forum

Propellarhead9 · 11-21-2009, 07:05 PM

I know there are some wrestling fans here. I know most people watched back in the 80's as well. So, what do you think is the worst gimmick or character to ever grace professional wrestling.

I'll start with a holiday themed one:

The Goobledygooker

Bastion Booger

From Wiki:

Shaw then took the ringname Bastion Booger in June 1993, with the gimmick of an unkempt, slovenly and gluttonous man who wrestled in dingy singlets and a partial facemask

Waylon Mercy

From Wiki:

Dan Spivey rejoined the WWF in June 1995, adopting the name Waylon Mercy in a gimmick based on Robert De Niro's portrayal of Max Cady in the 1991 remake of Cape Fear. Like Cady, he had jet black hair, wore white attire with an aloha shirt, and sported several strange tattoos (Spivey's were artificial). The character was introduced through a series of vignettes that always had Spivey speaking in a calm yet sinister manner "Lives are gonna be... in Waylon Mercy's hands He He He He and finishing with the phrase "You know what I mean?"

It's ironic Toefer, Bastion Booger was my first choice as well. But, there have been way too many to list.

Remember The Goon ? He was done up in hockey gear complete with wrestling boots made to look like iceskates.

Tugboat
PMS Divas
Right to Censor

Secretagentnumber6 · 11-21-2009, 10:01 PM

Earthquake and Typhoon.

The Nasty Boys

I just cannot understand these two tag teams when they existed. Horrible in my opinion, the least in shape wrestlers, I am not even sure how they handled the physical activity.

I disagree with that.

Right to Censor was awesome, there was no other group in the history of Wrestling that brought out such hatred.

Especially when they converted the Godfather.

This may not really be the worst gimmick, but it's one of the worst promos I've ever seen:

Wow, I didn't know there was a thread on this. Well how about the Mr. America gimmick that Hulk Hogan had one time. But while I'm still at it, theres:

Mantaur

The Ding Dongs

Abe "Knuckleball" Shwartz (who was the same guy who played wrestling's most famous jobber, The Brooklyn Brawler)

Gillberg (okay, maybe I'm going a bit far on this, but I actually liked the Gillberg gimmick)

The Yeti (or yet-ay as they pronounced it for some reason)

Aaaaaand the greatest wrestler of all time...

DAMIAN DEMENTO!!!

Rob71 · 11-22-2009, 12:34 AM

Ok I don't remember the guy's name, so I can't post a picture(thank God). Who was the guy who would streak through the arena, run into the ring and then streak out. All he had on was a thong and a fanny pack covering his cluster.
