Wrestling has always had those gimmicks were you wonder, 'how the fuck did that get approved?' Gimmicks that are so stupid and don't really add anything to the wrestling world except embarrassment and wasted time. Most of these gimmicks 'shockingly' don't last long, even further questioning why they were given a green light in the first place.

This doesn't mean the wrestler was bad, some have gone on to better personas and thrust in to success, while others were a success and then given shitty gimmicks (example, Smash becoming Repo Man) we are just focusing on the time when they had to go out there and be embarrassing.

I'll start with one that should be on everyone's list....

For those who don't know, the original man behind this ridiculous fucking gimmick was Konnan (not pictured). Konnan left WWF and the gimmick was handed over to Paul Diamond, who was half of the Orient Express. This gimmick was a 'futuristic cyborg' that looked nothing like a futuristic cyborg and everything like a full grown man in ridiculous children's pajamas.

This awful gimmick was shelved not long after it debuted as Diamond's contract expired and the WWF did not renew it.

The Shockmaster is still my #1, even if there's objectively worse gimmicks.

That nasty motherfucker ate real worms. Hands down the most repulsive gimmick of all time. And the fact that he was willing to eat worms leads me to believe it wasn't really a gimmick and he probably enjoys doing it in real life. Because most wrestlers (and normal human beings) wouldn't agree to such a thing no matter how much money was tossed at them. What a sicko.

LMFAO, funny you say that because I watched WCW Greed on WWE Network yesterday and Kwee Wee came out, rehashing embarrassing memories. I totally forgot about that guy and thought it was Scotty 2 Hotty when he first walked out.

Beaver Cleavage has to be one that really has to get a nod here.

Like honestly, who the fuck thought this was a great idea? It's good it was pretty much dead not long afterwards, cause where the Attitude Era had it's great moments, they had some very stupid crap also. It's part of why I find myself not enjoying it as much as I'm older cause of some of the dumb and just plan out horrible gimmicks some people would have. But this one tops it for me.

To each their own but The Boogeyman ruled imo. Yeah he wasn’t the best wrestler, but I found the gimmick entertaining and he seemed to have had fun with it and still does to this day.

You should watch his 2 hour live stream he did for Halloween on WWE's channel. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
