[Kidd Dibiase]

Gooker

Off the sheer fact that Vince really thought this was good idea and was gonna be popular with whomever he was targeting with this

Who WAS he targeting with this? I was like 7 at this point and this was the dumbest thing id ever seen THEN.

Gooker wins in a landslide

 

[Psychosis]

Repo Man was fire

 

[El Guapo]

Repo Man was bad, but it was a funny bad. Gooker gets the vote for giving everyone secondhand embarrassment in his debut.

 

[boriquaking]

Gooker was over at least

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

Gooker was a TERRIBLE idea. Easy.

 

[Reality Check]

Guess I'm going against the grain with my vote for Repo Man. At least with Gobbledy Gooker it was a one-off; same can't be said for a character that was out there for a year and a half.

Hell, not sure if @2 Cold Taurus has it in the bracket, but Barry Darsow had a second trash gimmick in WCW as a golfer (Mr. Hole In One Barry Darsow) that should be up there in the WOAT gimmick discussion.

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

nah, the idea of a nikka repossesing yo shyt in the middle of matches n shyt cause you late on payments was hilarious

 

[MenacingMonk]

Repo Man. What else was anyone expecting to hop outta an egg?

 

[MenacingMonk]

nah, the idea of a nikka repossesing yo shyt in the middle of matches n shyt cause you late on payments was hilarious

sure, it’s funny, but imagine seeing this from a non-fan standpoint?

“Who the fukk is that guy? ”

“That’s Repo Man! He takes the wrestlers stuff for not paying. ”

“This shyt is fake and they have guys with race car and a repossession characters too? ”

I’m glad I wasn’t a teen watching this shyt during the ridiculous gimmick era of the early/mid 90s.

 

[BrehWyatt]

No Repo Man slander.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Gooker was embarrassing.

Repo Man was hilarious and had a dope theme.
I got my butt whooped when I was younger for cutting up some church socks to make a mask like that

 

[Finn Baller]

Gooker never had any remote chance of catching on, easy choice. Especially after they hyped up the debut

a less cartoony Repo Man gimmick could work these days maybe tag him up with a Landlord
