[BigEasyWhoDats]

That was probably the high point of Steven's career.

[Kscriv]

SHOCKMASTER :lol: Did you see this guy's debut, or Arachnaman? Check Wrestlecrap.com for more

[TwiztidICP]

They are many but I have to say Oz, The 1,2,3 Kid, PG 13 and 3 Count.

[MusicFan]

Wresting.

[Invictus]

As a Chris Benoit fan, I loathed the lame attempt at comedy known as "Toothless Agression." Such a terrible gimmick for a wrestler who prides himself on being a very serious and focused wrestling machine.

[Ichiban]

I say that it was Double J, Jeff Jaret when he said he was a singer trying to take over Nashville by joining the WWE (well WWF back then)

[BennyHill]

Kevin Nash as "Master Blaster Steele," Doink with the midget clown Dink. Yeah, those were pretty bad.

[Auf_Der_Maur6]

The Gobblety Gooker. (A guy dressed as a giant turkey)
God, I remember that.
They hyped a big giant egg for months, then some guy in a turkey outfit comes out and dances with Mean Gene Okerland :smt013

Another one I remember was having Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat become "The Dragon" and have him breathe fire before and after each match.

[HMG]

Are partner is going to SHOCK the world, because he is none other than THE SHOCKMASTER!!!!!!

Above all, I hate gimmicks that are support the narrow-minded assumptions of many of wrestlings core audience (rednecks, if you will). Chuck Whateverhisnamewas and Billy Gunn were put into this ridiculous pseudo-gay gimmick that had the Dudleys show up at a 'gay bar' which I found grossly stereotypical and completely disrepectful.

I stopped watching after that, but what bits I've seen of Muhammad Hassan reek of the same close-minded stereotypical bullshit.

It's wrestling, lighten up.

It's wrestling, lighten up.

It's a form of entertainment that reaches a wide audience that traditionally doesn't have much exposure to these elements it's lampooning. I'm not saying they have to have a role in debunking those stereotypes, though it would be nice, but they shouldn't reinforce them either.

[Octocamo]

Viscera as a Pimp.

[dl4ndow]

Blue Blazer flying in from the top of the arena into the ring... ultimately leading to his death...

[ULTRA WARRIOR]

That was probably the high point of Steven's career.
No. Leading the b.W.o was his high point.

Da Blue Guy ( Blue Meanie ), 'Hollywood' Nova & 'Big' Stevie 'Cool'

[MageMasher]

Ah, good ol' ECW....

[DrunkenMasterFu]

Shane Douglas as The Dean. So incredibly lame.

[ULTRA WARRIOR]

Lance Storm DANCING. Very Lame.

[Lord Moon]

Booker T as G.I. Bro in the Misfits In Action.

Also check out this page, (http://www.oldschool-wrestling.com/wwow/WWOW.htm) a great listing of some of the lamest gimmicks of all time.

[DrunkenMasterFu]

I forget the exact name, but years back in WWF, there was that guy that would come out all in camo. It was something like The Hunter or Stalker or something like that. It's been too long to remember...

Also, there was that pretty big guy that would come out and play a guitar solo before starting the match. That was kind of lame too.

[ULTRA WARRIOR]

That was 'Skinner' Steve Kern.

As for the guy playing guitar, it was either
The Honky Tonk Man

or Jeff Jarrett ( Double J )

[ULTRA WARRIOR]

I was thinking about adding those 2 to the list but went with the most recognizable ones.

[Captain N]

You're nuts to put Honkey Tonk man on that list.

Anyway lamest easily goes to the ICP their gimmick in rap transfered to wrestling still makes me cringe.
