Worst Gimmick Ever?
Jun 11th, 2008, 10:14am  
The late 80's/early 90's Turner era has to go down as the beginning of the end for the NWA/WCW.  They had done so well promoting pure wrestling with faces & heels with a limited focus on gimmicks.  Once Turner tried to copy the McMahon gimmick model, this absolutely put the company in a tailspin.  My vote for worst gimmick(s) of the era:
 
EL GIGANTE
NORMAN THE LUNATIC
VINNIE VEGAS
MICHAEL WALL STREET
DYNAMIC DUDES
ARACHNIMAN
RANGER ROSS

Im not going to be responsible for what hits next. Because, we dont wear white hats. We are not nice guys. And I can tell you this -- heads are going to roll! So, Ive said it. Be careful for what you wish for, because now, you have it.

OZ... much worse than Vinnie Vegas
Glacier
The Renegade
 
A more focused question might be who had some talent, but got buried by their bad gimmick. (of course, I don't think anything WCW did can match Vince & Co. at their "best" Tongue)

If we're talking about who got buried with a bad gimmick, I think Mike Rotunda wins hands down; he had a ton of pure heart & talent, and then got stigmatized with the Michael Wall Street/Irwin R. Schyster gimmick

If we're talking NWA yes but overall this should be renamed teh Terry Taylor category

I think the Master P angle was the absolute bottom of the pits for me.  David Arquette winning the WCW World Title wasn't too good either.  Ding Dongs sucked.  The Dynamic Dudes were an absolute joke.

I totally agree.  I thought Master P and the NLS ruined the angle with their absolutely horrible acting.  David Arquette winning the title was a shame.  Especially considering the fact that this was the company, who at one time gave us an awesome 1996.  The Ding Dongs are "cult classics", and the Dynamic Dudes were played out even before they debuted, lol.  A 1985 surfer dude gimmick, a little too late.

I was so embarrassed by the Master P thing that I temporarily boycotted WCW. I remember watching the press conference and as Okerlund was putting over his album or song called something Homiez, I just shook my head, said that's it, and changed the channel.

I have to say the worst was Jimmy Grafiti. Outfit bothered me to no end.
 
Oh and Sgt. Craig Pittman and Cobra's feud. Way to waste my time, boys!

I have to agree with all of these......let's not forget P.N. News. Remember, the big fat slob who claimed to be a rap master was a bad wrestler and and an even worse rapper!
