The 80's and 90's have seen some of the worst gimmicks a wrestler can have?We can discuss them here and have some fun. I'll start it off...
Issacc Yankem D.D.S- a dentist gone postal so now he wants to kick your ass and yank out your teeth! LOL Thank god they changed his gimmick to The Big Red Machine Kane.

Eugene's gimmick bothers me the most, mainly since he's a very talented wrestler, and his gimmick would be very hard to change. There were a lot of useless gimmicks but as Chairshot said, listing them all would just take too long.

Juan Miguels
10-06-2006, 04:03 PM
Eugene is actually a good wrestler. Too bad WWE has to make an ass out of him. I think he could be a good Dean Malenko style wrestler if the WWE would let him.

He is referring to Undertakers old manager,D-Vons old charecter was Reverend D-Von and that gimmick sucked big time. It was during this gimmick that we first saw Batista as he was called Deacon Batista another bad gimmick.
