Failed Gimmicks

[Cwalker]

I’ve said it before…Stardust never bothered me.

But Cody doing the cartwheel almost immediately upon his return was hilariously hypocritical

A lot of failed gimmicks were because of shitty booking. Retribution could’ve worked but WWE had no idea what they wanted for the group. After their names were revealed that shit was dead to rights lmao.

Tensai they gave up on after literally a month.

The names sucked but people would have gotten over them eventually if the rest of their presentation was on point. The awful masks and pathetic vandalism shit was way worse.

No one is getting over with the name Slapjack

Fair, i'll give you that one although I didn't say they would have necessarily gotten over even if their presentation was on point.

 

[Cwalker]

Mace gonna get more over with this modeling shit than he ever could’ve in Retribution

Not a high bar Cwalker, not a high bar.

Not really gimmicks, but DDP and Lex Luger come to mind

In WWF/E they failed but in WCW they were very successful.

They really fucked up with the Rusev Day stuff. Got mad over, and merch and everything was selling great. Just didn’t do anything with it.

 

[King Kota]

again another guy i like and where they had some potential but gimmick fail



i really like this promo tbh

DDP in WWF. I was sad when he was revealed as the stalker and subsequently buried. Guy was cool as fuck in WCW.

So no lie I love Stardust. Ik Cody hates it but I love it

Wasn't it Cody's idea? I didn't know he hated it, I thought he actually enjoyed it.
