Most lackluster gimmicks?

[Solid Snake]

Out of all the wrestlers, both old, current, and new...
Which do you think had the most lackluster gimmick?

Because one of my favorites once had one of the worst gimmicks, I am going with Isaac Yankem. Not only were the segments involving him bad, but the character was just awful. Nothing about him did anything for anyone. I don't even think he lasted that long before he was canned and rebooted as the more loved Kane.

Just look up the WWF's roster from the New Generation era and you can get a slew of terrible gimmicks. Mantaur, T.L. Hopper, Aldo Montoya, The Goon, etc.

That said, I always have to go with Red Rooster as the worst. Poor Terry Taylor's career never recovered from it.

The one Billy Gunn

cena. thinks hes a rapper. dresses like a kid and wrestles like one. makes friverlous jokes and cant work for toffee. what sort of gimmick is that.

you dont need a gimmick in wrestling. so long as your as sharp as a yorkshire whip in the ring your doin your job.

Ambrose's whole wacky phase. From being scum who only had wrestling to rely on, to the cocky prick in The Shield, the whole Lunatic Fringe phase was such a let down. From sliming Seth, to the ice buckets, to the cop outfit, to the wackyline, to Mitch the plant, to the Ambrose Asylum. Not to say he hasn't had good periods, such as his stuff with KO and Trips. But the majority of it has been trash.

Just glad he's finally been on the up and up since the brand split has started.

Red Rooster was fairly bad destroyed the guys career.

And the WCW Shockwave thing.

Agreed. I loved the big lug as a worker. But they tried to present a big, tattooed white guy as a Japanese lord. Shame since the gimmick only needed minor tweaks to work

- Perfect Shawn.
- "Bull Power" Leon White

Lord Tensai and Dean "HE'S CRAZY, MAGGLE!" Ambrose.

[Pop Tatari]

Tensai They gave him extended sqaush matches that were boring to watch plus a stupid gimmick for a white dude despite his excellent first post wwe run

 

[Harrison]

I was really hoping Apollo Crews would do well but he's just so generic and boring for me to care
