Worst Gimmick or Gimmick Match

[lleeder]

<font size="3">There have been alot of horrible gimmicks and gimmick matches in wrestling.I think ine of the worst matches ever is when Hogan and Savage fought in a Doomsday Cage in WCW. They had to fight like a different guy or guys on each level of a layer steel cage. They started at the top and worked their way down. They fought alot of guys that were big at the time and handly beat them. What do you think is the worst gimmick or gimmick match?</font>

[kellermcgee21]

Robocop was the worst thing i've ever seen.&nbsp; Robocop was supposed to rip the door off a cage sting was in but when ropocop was doing his old man walk up to the cage you can see the door open up and sting close it and hold it shut till the robocop got there to magically free sting.&nbsp;

[K.C.]

<p>It's kind of a tough question, because there's an infinite amount of bad jobber gimmicks. The better one is what's the worst gimmick that one of the companies actually thought would work and pushed hard. </p><p>With that in mind, I'd have to go with Glacier from WCW. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/6742/01xr7.jpg" border="0" width="323" height="509" /></p><p>&nbsp;WCW pushed this guy HARD...gave him a million dollar entrance, and the announcers went nuts for it everytime. </p><p>I think they were trying to push this whole post-apocalyptic world type of storyline between Glacier and Mortis (aka Kanyon) hoping to sell a ton of merchandise to kids. </p><p>Needless to say, this guy was one of the biggest flops ever considering the hype. </p>

[K.C.]

<p>The worst gimmick match BY FAR is the 'Chamber of Horrors' match from Halloween Havoc '91 where it ends with Abdullah the Butcher getting put in an electric chair and Cactus Jack throwing the switch. </p><p>WCW was full of a ton of bad gimmick matches. The one thing I do miss, though, is the 'Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal.' WWE should bring that back. </p>

I mentioned him number 10

Oh yeah.

What about that terrible gimmick that the WCW had going with Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior the last time Warrior came back.&nbsp; The Warror was supposed to be magic and stuff.&nbsp; Hogan was the only guy that could see him or something like that.&nbsp; I just remember being pumped that the Warrior was coming back and it turned into a joke.

Have never liked the TNA ring

[Don Stugots]

i hate TNA's ring too.&nbsp; What was that match that Scot Steiner had when he was fueding with his brother and Tank Abbott?&nbsp; i think it was &quot;the cell&quot;, it was a cage that sat inside the ring and was oblong.&nbsp; anyone remember this or am i retarded?

[shamus mcfitzy]

<p>The Shockmaster and Robocop are legendary for how&nbsp;bad they are, but I have to say that the truly worst wrestling gimmick is the monster gimmick and the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrHghdvImOE&amp;mode=related&amp;search=" target="_blank" title="YETAY!">YETAY!</a>&nbsp;is a perfect example. HORrrrrrrrrrible</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And I loved Glacier. I just want to say that. You can't hate on Glacier. He was even an unlockable character in WCW/NWO World Tour. And that makes him a legend in my book.</p>

[tnbt23]

<p>so i'll add my two cents:</p><p>&nbsp;Worst Gimmicks: and or matches</p><p>1) Fake Diesel/ Fake Razor Ramon</p><p>2) Boogey Man</p><p>3) T.L. Hopper</p><p>4) Freddy Joe Floyd</p><p>5) Mantaur</p><p>6) Loch Ness</p><p>7) Ding Dongs</p><p>8) TNA 6 sided ring (or the Rena Mero Memorial Ring)</p><p>9) Brawl For All</p><p>10) Bunkhouse Stampede (in a cage) - imagine a Royal Rumble inside of a cage.. the point?</p><p>11) Any cage match that WCW booked after 1994. non of the stipulations meant anything to the matches.</p><p>12) Any TNA conceived match (i.e. King of the Mountain, etc..)</p>

I liked the Brawl for All...and the music kicked ass.

[TripleSkeet]

I liked the Hardcore title 24/7 rule alot. We actually had a rule when me and my friends wrestled as kids.

I also loved the Kiss my Ass club and liked when Undertaker burned the Teddy Bear as it started what I thought was a cool angle.

As far as matches go I hate ANYTHING "On a pole" match. Anyone remember when WCW had a Viagra on a pole match?

[asayresk]

I hate a wwe inferno macth. I love a FMW deathmacth.
