Except that Steve Austin is really a redneck, so his is not really a gimmick. Is it?

I think that was just a manifestation of his gimmick into real life.

The only Sting I know at least wrestling wise:

His new look was crap.

I mean when you have a gimmick like that, when you have like 4 people in a group it's awesome {if there are other 4 people groups around} but if it expands to more than half the organization, that's when it gets concerning.

I liked The Rock's Hollywood gimmick. I thought the idea of him turning heel was genius, seeing as his regular gimmick was getting a bit stale. Too bad WWE just won't do that with Juan Xena. He is as stale as a month old loaf of bread. Just do the right thing WWE and turn him heel again with the rapper gimmick. He'll actually be entertaining that way.

Oh and I just remembered Jericho's current gimmick. Its awesome the way he calls the crowd hypocritical, parasitic, germ incubating delinquents. He truely is here to save us.

Jay Lethal is hilarious as "Black Machismo".

I miss his white boy rapper gimmick. Don't think he's released another rap album or the title with the spinner logo.

I do like Jericho like this but I really do miss his attitude back then. Picking on Stephanie McMahon

Yeah I dug that time too, was at the first RAW he returned to with the heel turn where he just owned our whole country. It was hilarious.

I think that was after he took off the mask. Remember when he torched JR? No mask. I just wish that he'd go back to being the dominant monster he was over 10 years ago.

I didn't like the way that he just played down to the crowd though. Yes, I know that he was born in New York (I think), but he's still Canadian by decent. Just for the sake of putting over Juan Xena. I didn't really work though.

Edit...oh wait, I thought you were talking about Chris Jericho. My mistake.

Still, he got over big time. The crowd half the time were still cheering for the Rock.

When he took his mask off wasn't his face all messed up and he wore a towel over his head?
Totally agree, his caracter was meant to be a monster,remember the work he did with Shane? Classic
