Simon Dean now works for a mortgage company in Jersey!


Dustin Runnels(Goldust) was given a lame "Undertaker" routine in the last months of WCW, but he broke character when he got in the ring and went on how stupid it was.

Ahhh yes...that would be "Seven". Here's more on that particular failed angle:

Rhodes returned to World Championship Wrestling in 1999, filming several vignettes for a fantastical, face-painted character named Seven. These vignettes contained ominous footage of Rhodes in full makeup standing outside of a child's bedroom window. The character was dropped after Turner Standards and Practices expressed concern that this gimmick could be misinterpreted as a child abductor. Upon returning to WCW television, Rhodes removed his costume and delivered a Worked Shoot in which he mocked unrealistic gimmicks as well as his time as Goldust in the WWF. Rhodes began wrestling as "The American Nightmare" Dustin Rhodes, with his nickname a reference to his father's nickname, "The American Dream".

I am afraid that the next bad gimmick will be TNA's Suicide.

Shark Boy and curryman are not tna exclusive chars. Christopher daniels invented that character curryman in japan and was super over.(and still is) I forget who does shark boy but hell, he even got into a lawsuit claiming infringement when sharkboy and lava girl came out, cuz he apparently holds the rights to the name

 

[Excess]

John Cena.

 

[RobAce]

Oh wow, I think there are too many to mention.

But lets go with:

The Bushwhackers
Tugboat and Earthquake
Disco Inferno
Anything X-Pac did
The 2nd Sting

Ill think of more later I am sure.

"The Cat" Ernest Miller
"Screaming" Norman Smiley
Shaniqua & the Basham Bros
Too Cool (Rikishi, Scotty 2 Hotty, Grand Master Sexay)

 

[RobAce]

"The Cat" Ernest Miller

I had thought about him as a bad gimmick as well.

Let me also add Steve "Mongo" McMichael to the list.
