Two that immediately come to mind:
1. Chuck Palumbo and his biker gimmick - which was just a rip-off of 'Taker's American bad-ass gimmick. 2. The whole Deuce & Domino greaser gimmick. |

Eugene as a (thank you baby jesus) short lived heel.
Nick Dinsmore is a hell of a wrestler, but that gimmick was crap. A face Eugene was bad enough, but as a heel it was.......... bad. We're talking "Angry Video Game Nerd" bad. |

Eugene, period.
Face or Heel. Looking back, this is probably the worst gimmick since the Red Rooster in terms of damage done to a guy's career. I don't think Dinsmore can EVER live that gimmick down. Just like how Terry Taylor is still called the Red Rooster to this day. |

1. Kane
- His gimmick has been shit for the longest time. He isn't a monster anymore. He's had numerous relationships, all ending in disaster. He tried to kill the Undertaker, then became tag team champions with the Undertaker and then tried to kill him again in 2003-2004. He's simply not credible. 2. Zach Gowen - 2003 was the shittest year for wrestling. He was pretty mobile for what he is but come on! Horrible gimmick with a horrible ending. 3. Any "authority figure vs top face star" angle... You can't capture lightning in a bottle twice with the same bottle. 4. Eugene - Terrible. 5. The Cabinet Orlando Jordan and the Bashams play tag along to WWE Champion JBL. There are too many, it's a sad case. |

Yes, out of everyone in the last 8 years, Kane is the number one worst gimmick.
Edit: And yes, out of every year in existence, 2003 was the shittest year in wrestling. Get out. |

tbh, I like gimmicky wrestlers. They add a fresh feel to the show and a good break from guys who really have no gimmicks other than "guys who wrestle". So really, I don't dislike many of the recent gimmicks. Among the ones listed in this thread:
Eugene was hilarous initially...although admittedly it was depressing that the talented Nick Dinsmore couldn't show off his full talents. If they had given the gimmick to somebody who was only mediocre in the ring, it would have made me feel a bit better. I loved Deuce 'n Domino...part of that might stem from the fact that they debuted as I was working on my high school production of Grease, and so essentially they were acting just like we were...but I enjoyed it. I think they could have done more with them than job them to hell after they lost the belts. And to this day, I still maintain that Domino's talents were wasted. And Kerwin White was a fun gimmick as well. It gave Chavo something to do and he got heat...cheap heat yes...but heat nonetheless. People wanted to see him get beat down. Outside of the Eddie Guerrero tribute show, I kinda wish Chavo could have continued with that gimmick. I'm not sure if canning the gimmick was his call or WWE's. |

Rebboj, i mean Rellick. Wearing a mask under a mask? BTW, Rebboj is jobber backwards.
Judas whatever, to short to be a threatening monster, but does TNA care, no, do it anyhow. |

How fucking stupid must BDC have been to understand that Rellik was killer backwards, but to have still spelled it the way that he did in this post?

-Steven Regal...a man's man.
-Ambassador of Quebec -Buffy (appeared on RAW one time in 2000...was supposed to be heel and Stephanie McMahon's personal trainer). -Henry "Beaver" Cleavage (Headbanger Mosh's gimmick for awhile when Thrasher was injured). |

Oh oops! LOL. I forgot to see the part where it said "in the past 8 years."
In that case... -My 'Buffy' and 'Ambassador of Quebec' examples are still valid -One half of La Resistance had that one crap gimmick on RAW (not Sylvan Grenier's 'Ambassador' gimmick...but it was something else. I can't even remember the guy's name or gimmick). -Zack Gowen was a faggot nigger lesbian. -Gene Snitsky's recent gimmick. |

You guys don't remember Eugene being heel because he was only a heel for like one show where he beat down somebody and yelled "I'm special!" at them, and then the next week he was back to being a face.
