Love- Euguene. It was vey, very risky (well, risky now, not at the time) to do this character, but the way they booked him was just great. The fans quickly embraced him, he beat Triple H, he won a few PPV fights. I loved that character

Hated- Hornswoggle. My god, he was a fucking leprechaun. And he was the kiss of death to many storylines. I also heard the guy that played him was a dick irl. Did not like him one bit.

I didn't have an issue with him when he wasn't directly involved in matches. As a backstage comedy sketch or a Santino related "unserious" match, fine.
But yeah... He ruined a lot of things. Not sure what Vince was thinking with that one.

Love Pirate pall Burtchell because he was a damn pirate, and Eugene! because it's Eugene!.

Hate Anything Wcw tried to do in 2000 and 99.

Bonus is a bad concept that turned out to be great The Brood, they shouldn't have been good at all a vampire clan that blood bathed people but it worked so well

I have a soft spot for Santino and the 3MB gimmick. Also a lot of the 80s gimmicks have some charm to them looking back.

I did like the New Day gimmick at first but yeah, turned on it by now

I agree so much about Swoggle, can't stand that little prick. The only time I liked him was when they had that mini wwe-LC match against el torito, that match was funny as hell, they had the tiny tables, tiny ladders and even a tiny micro cole JBsmall on commentary. That was the only time I enjoyed Swoggle. But aside from that I can't stand him... Even in IMPACT he has been a pain in the ass. Can he just go away from television?

I couldn't think of any stupid gimmicks I hate off the top of my head since it's usually a see and don't care as opposed to outright hate, but here are three that I loved. Would you count Hurricane as stupid? If you do, consider him on here too

I just remembered Regal's Real Man's Man gimmick.

Both loved and hated it. Funny gimmick but basically just done as punishment for Regal being an absolute mess (and thus he hardly remembers performing it).

Santino was a mix for me. He annoyed me but I also found him entertaining.

Yeah like in some segments with Donald Trump or when he did a joke about cm punk being at the pepsi machine... He can be funny sometimes.
