Biggest Gimmick Mistake?

[Riley Escobar]

if they gave heel rikishi a new attire then i would have taken him a bit more seriously than the fatass in a diaper.

Rikishi Phat Wear >>>>>>>>>>

Santino. Yeah he was funny for a minute but they should've let him run with the gimmick he started with Boris Alexiev.

Most people forget Santino was getting X-Pac heat when he debuted. He was having terrible matches and looked lost every time he got in the ring. That comedy gimmick saved his career. The only reason he got the comedy gimmick in the first place was as a last resort to throw him a lifeline.

Adam Bomb

Dude had an interesting look...all they had to do was not put him in some cheesy biohazard gear and stupid goggles...but thats what they did....

He's always one of those guys who seemed to have a lot of potential but in retrospect maybe he really didnt.

He got over pretty big as Wrath in WCW once they got rid of the corny Mortal Kombat gimmick, and started giving him a legitimate push.

Maybe if they gave Broadus Clay that Mark Henry monster heel gimmick thats one that comes to mind.... I think he couldve killed that.... probably still be in the E

fukked up thing is Broadus is the one who pitched the Hall of Pain for himself and they gave it to Mark

As for the biggest gimmick mistake....pick one of Mike Awesome WCW characters other than the career killer

 

[Bruce Wayne]

When Chuck Palumbo was an American Badass Biker with a Bad Temper and a Taste for Michelle McCool... I was Good with it.. but then they Started pushing that Domestic Violence shyt on him.

No Bueno.

The year was 1995, the gimmick was just about everyone
