Gimmicks, Wrestlers or Promo's that just didnt work.

* Hardcore Holly's - I'm hardcore 24/7... Every time he said it was met with sympathetic silence it was that poor......
* X-Factor - Worst Stable ever, seriously Albert, Xpac and Justin Credible...... By god!
* X-Pac - Anytime after 2001.
* Big Show & X-Pac being the remaining members of NWO in the WWE.

Feel free to go wild.

Having Ezekiel Jackson win the final ECW title match to give him momentum....

- That Mordecai gimmick lasted what 2 months?
- That terrible Katie Vick storyline.
- Chavo V Rey feud (2006).
- The shockmaster :lol:
- Steiner V HHH Feud.


There have been plenty over the years some I just don't care to remember I know the thread does not ask about worst feuds but a few came to mine I felt needed to added in.

 

[pennywisealfie]

I'm a big fan of sh*tty angles, they are just laughable, my faves are:

Moppy
Mae Youngs pregnancy
Glacier
Screamin Norman Smiley
the first diva search

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

For promo's, it has to be William Regal trying to pronounce Umaga. I don't think he said it the same way twice!

Kizarny was pretty bad for a gimmick, as was Scotty Goldman (poor Colt)

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Shockmaster is the greatest, pure comedy gold.

Jillian when she was introduced with that growth on her face, that was horrendous, even more so when it was "removed".

Mike Awesome as "That 70's Guy" or "The Fat Chick Thriller".

When they tried to take Booker T and turn him into GI Bro along with Corporal Cajun and Hugh G Rection.

Gimmicks:
Glacier, definitely. How much did they spend on that?

Kiss Demon - lame.

Berlin - His bodyguard was more over than he was. I still remember the strange hype videos though.

Se7en - Dustin Rhodes' WCW gimmick that lasted all of one entrance. Apparently it was dropped because his vignette's suggested he was a pedo.

Rikishi - I did it...for The Rock. Just wasn't the same after he muttered that.

Wrestlers
Chuck Palumbo - Would always receive some push but could never go on with it.

Tank Abbot - Could you believe Russo considered this guy World Heavyweight Champion material?

Kevin Thorn - They tried but either time it just didn't pay off.

 

[Chook Herron]

Tank Abbott dancing with 3 count

Lenny Lane's gay angle with Lodi

Disco Inferno and Alex Wright

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Al Snow and Pepper with the big bossman, it was either so bad it was good or was it just terrible?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Anytime they tried to give Kane a girlfriend.

Snitsky - It's not my fault!

Lita and Edge having live "sex" in the ring. :roll:

Charlie Haas mimicking everyone was actually pretty entertaining.

Charlie Haas mimicking everyone was actually pretty entertaining.

It lasted all of 2 months though. It would've made a mad mark out moment during the RR or something then. For number 30 have The Rock or Bret Hart's music go off, for Charlie Haas to come out impersonating them.

Funny you mention that, when RVD's music hit I thought it was Haas for sure only to go off to see it was the man RVD himself.

Have to agree that overall the gimmik didnt do it for me though, Goldust on the otherhand perfected it.

If you want a bad promo I've got two words for ya - Scott Steiner.

Start off with the best maths related promo EVER!

Clever editing in this next one makes this pure comedy gold. Tomko's face is also priceless.

Watched Katie Vick and HHH last night on youtube convinced it couldnt be as bad as I remembered..... It was worse.....

What about Kane loosing to XPac and Tory has to spend the holidays with XPAC, cringeworthy!
