Good Gimmicks that were killed too soon.

[Don Stugots]

I think about The Hollywood Blonds and the West Hollywood Blonds and how great they were in the ring on on the mic. both teams didnt get a fair shake to go the distance.

You got any?

You may laugh but I think if they hadn't been killed dead by DX, the Spirit Squad had some underrealized potential.

There was an episode where they were using trampolines outside the ring and I always felt like they could've really done something exciting with that if they kept it going. It would look weak if wrestlers used tramps for moves but in this case it would totally make sense.

And really what did they gain by killing them like that? The only one who has since amounted to anything is Dolph Ziggler and that's pretty amazing when you consider the work that Ken Doane and Johnny Jeter turned in in OVW.

dolph will be forgotten about as fast as that Irish kid that fought for 2 months to "get" a contract.

[Don Stugots]

so true

Muhammad Hassan. They could have bring him back to Raw.

they could have brought him back as a baby face or just rode out the storm. i hated the gimmick and thought it was in poor taste but you started it, why not finish it.

[lleeder]

In WCW I really enjoyed the LWO. Eddie and La Parka and all the rest were really entertaining too bad the NwO was threaten by them and made them disapear.

but are actually using in him a way that can further the business....


don't ask me why, but in my years of bashing TNA's shit....they are really starting to turn me with the product. Either that or I'm just completely tired of WWE's shit programming.

[TripleSkeet]

I really liked Muhammed Hassan. I was pissed that they pulled him.

Also the Spirit Squad were a great stable to watch. Whoever said them incorporating trampolines in their matches was right. It was a cool way to pull out new moves, and also pull new double team moves too.

if you mean what his name is in tna its sheik abdul bashir

[Don Stugots]

Kimberly Page

was she ever in WWE? what gimmick of hers in WCW got killed too soon?

[Sinestro]

She was in WWE. I think she got hurt or something. She was doing a kinda of "It's all about Me" gimmick.

[Don Stugots]

wow, i really dont remember that. she was smoking hot.

[Heather 8]

Kim never worked for the E. Maybe you're thinking about Sable ("This is for all the women who wanna be me and the men who come to see me!")?

Best. Entrance Theme. EVER.

[CYYYFYYY]

Loved Waylom Mercey.


There was another gimmick that died real quick and I am not even sure where they were going with it.... but at one time when Hennan was managing he was wearing a head set and he basically said he was get info from another person who was stationed somewhere in the arena and they saw things from an eagle eye and told him things he may be missing. This lasted 3 weeks and then they stopped it. I always wondered who the heck was it going to be helping him.

[Don Stugots]

It was brother love.

[disneyspy]

It was brother love.

not dude love?

[CYYYFYYY]

Did they announce it was Brother Love or you just know it was supposed to be him. Did they do a follow up on it or was it just dropped like I remember

[Don Stugots]

No they never said anthing about it. I was kidding.

[Freitag]

Best. Entrance Theme. EVER.

I liked the vignettes...

"Stephen Regal is a man's man. He squeezes his own orange juice..."

Those vignettes were up there in the Mr. Perfect rarified air.

Does this count? Yeeeeeeech

[conman823]

What about Salvatore Sincere? He was gone after a brief fued with Marc Mero, but the guy actually had some in ring ability.

Also don't forget The Shockmaster. Just because you fall through a wall and your glitter stormtrooper helmet falls off during your big entrance doesn't mean you should just be tossed away.......at least not in the Federation my mind created.

[Sinestro]

Glacier from WCW...............nevermind, that gimmick sucked!!!!

[disneyspy]

Glacier from WCW...............nevermind, that gimmick sucked!!!!

man they built the shit out of that,and then it sucked so bad,all that ninja crap...

[Sinestro]

And Glacier didn't even do any turnbuckle high flying moves. WTF?? He's supposed to be a ninja.

[Sinestro]

Ernest "the Cat" Miller? he was just coming on his own. He also had a nice run when he was the chairman or whatever on WCW.


Brian Pillman.

there were no bomb shelters in wrestling, silly.

the white light haired undertaker


never had a chance

[SpicyMcHaggis]

It had promise. I just think that WWE jumps the gun too many times on gimmicks and never really develops them before they're ready. Some they hit right on the mark while others have promise but are never thought of more than vignettes.

[NITRON]

here's another 1. or 2. Kevin Thorn and Ariel.

[MagillaGorillaz]

Paul Burchill as a pirate. The rated Arrgh superstar. That gimmick had a positive reaction but really ended quick.

[NITRON]

He actually had the gimmick in TNA, then WWE took him and it intact with their own input, of course. they had a few cool promos, giving the impression he was going higher places.

the only higher places he end up was jumping off turnbuckles as jimmy wang yang's 2nd wheel jobber tag partner. then came the "wish him well in future endeavours".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guZ48KLTelo

[Don Stugots]

here's another 1. or 2. Kevin Thorn and Ariel.

i liked it. he needed a "flock" and to cut promos. Maybe even used the "blood bath".

[Manster72]

Dr issac Yankeem. the wrestling dentist. big finisher the moler. you could that gimmick forever...HHH going to the denist and finding a pupe and stephanie gets mad...or lets say big show gets his teeth shapend and eats rey mysterio. how about wrestlers pre mach geting shot with novacane then having to wrestle with drool all over. i see potential there

[vjr97]

wcw glacier was bad and tna suicide is right up there? remeber the wcw kiss demon that kept getting jobbed cuz of a disagreement w/ kiss jajajaja

[vjr97]

ya know who had a great gimmick? missy hyatt in world class :surrender:w/ her natural dd(?) tits yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Section 8]

wcw glacier was bad and tna suicide is right up there? remeber the wcw kiss demon that kept getting jobbed cuz of a disagreement w/ kiss jajajaja

TNA's Suicide is Frankie Kazarian aka Kaz. He's a hell of a worker and has always been a better than average promo guy. Give him a little more time.

Glacier was a great gimmick, but a bad wrestler to stick it on. The wrestler that was Glacier lived up to his name: he moved too damn slow. If they were do the gimmick today, they would have to use someone with legit speed and martial arts skills (think Steve Blackman's martial arts with Kofi Kingston's speed, high flying and charisma).

[Don Stugots]

Kofi has charisma? i hate that he is always smiling, even when he gets beat up. stupid Mavia ripoff.

[cougarjake13]

i wouldnt say he has


i dont even remember him speaking

[Heather 8]

He does promos, so he obviously speaks.

And 8's standing here giving reasons why he disagrees with you, but he's bitching too fast for my typing to keep up.

[Don Stugots]

well, i disagree with him and you on your lack of milfness.

WCW Kronic

only time i hear anything from him is that bop bop boo thing he does


so i musta missed his promos

[TEXAG]

Haha that was one of the most memorable parts of WcW, especially that feud between Eddie and Rey !!!

[Lividspiral]

i miss vampiro he was bad ass before all the ICP garbage in the old wcw. also was a huge fan of the scaffold matches. im guessing there's insurance reasons they cant have a match 40 feet above the ring where the loser gets tossed off to the floor first anymore. but if you check out any online videos of scaffold matches where guys are hanging kicking each other from the scaffold is great. i remember one of the Midnight Express vs the Fabulous Freebirds where they kicked and kicked each other for what felt like hours. finally they all fell down to the ring and rolled around. knowing wrestling's fake, its insane to think how they pulled that off.

[Manster72]

i liked the lance storm justin credible tag team...but legit i thought Nailz wasnt given a real at all. i loved the perry saturn with a mob gimmick what was wcw thinking? take a ECW tag champ and give him a mop. Mongo worst horsemen ever? youd think its a easy yes but lemme remind you of paul roma. what was wcw thinking?

[CruelCircus]

Moppy was in WWF.

[DantheBartender]

Saturn had Moppy in WWE, but Chavo Guerrero, Jr. had Pepe in WCW long before that... I kinda miss Pepe... not to be confused with Steve McMichael's silly Chihuahua.

but al snow did Chihuahua's better with pepper. i'll never take a plate of food from the big boss man for two reasons 1.i like doggies and 2. he's dead so makes it hard to cook
