The 13 Worst Pro-Wrestling Gimmicks Ever
We can’t say that we watch much pro-wrestling. But we used to. And a lot of it was incredibly bad. We wish we could have been in the pitch meeting for a lot of the bad wrestling characters that have come along over the years. Because there have been some really awful ones. A while back we gave you the worst rapper names. Here are the 13 worst pro-wrestling gimmicks ever (not counting Hulk Hogan’s new reality series - Hogan Knows Depression). Enjoy.
13. The Yeti
Look at this idiot. They seriously dressed him like the Yummy Mummy cereal box. Did they not know that mummies and yetis are not the same thing? You wouldn’t be able to dress someone up like Bigfoot and call them ‘Dracula’. This makes about as much sense.
12. Bastion Booger
If you look like this guy, it’s not like your character is going to play a ladies man. But ‘Bastion Booger’? That’s the name you went with? Please don’t make us think to hard. What were the rejected names? Paul Poop? Steve Big Fat Gross Guy? Those are almost better.
11. Arachnaman
At what point do you have to admit that you’re not even trying?
10. Koko B. Ware
Good job, WWF. Let’s get a muscular black guy and make his character a bird enthusiast. Pretty intimidating.
9. Irwin R. Schyster (IRS) and the Repo Man
What was the thinking here? “You know who hates the IRS and repo men? Broke scumbags with money problems. You know who watches our pretend wrestling programs? Broke scumbags with money problems. Voila!”
8. Giant Gonzalez
The actual gimmick of a tall guy being a giant isn’t all that bad. But they’re pretending he’s an actual Jack-and-the-Bean-Stalk giant. And that body suit is the weirdest thing of all time. Were people supposed to think that was real? Like, he has crazy shoulder pad hair and a gigantic bush and big muscles? It’s not the worst gimmick ever, but it might be the worst costume in the history of costumes.
7. Gangrel
Don’t you just hate it when you just want to be a wrestler to make some money and feed your family, but you have to face off against actual real-life vampires?
6. Disco Inferno
He looks like a gay extra from Goodfellas. WCW proved once again that it’s never way-too-late for anti-disco jokes.
5. Robocop
A fictitious robot police officer is created to fight crime in future Detroit. Or to help Sting in the Nineties. Come on.
4. The Boogeyman
FLA-VOR FLAVE!!! Or is it Darth Maul? Either way it sucks.
3. Jay Leno
A big chinned, squeaky-voiced observational comedian who likes Doritos a whole bunch? Not believable at all. What? It’s a real guy? Whoa. He sucks.
2. Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS
He’s a grouchy dentist who yanks teeth. Get it? You probably do because it’s super obvious.
1. Tugboat
This dipshit dressed like some sort of old timey ship captain and constantly made the horn sound that tugboats make. Man, this guy really likes tugboats. This is awful.
Alright. Who did we forget? The Red Rooster? The Honky Tonk Man? Phantasio? Glacier? Let us know.
Comedy.com’s ListMaster is Mike Bridenstine. He is from parts unknown.

Koko B. Ware looks like he should be yelling, “Hi, I’m Brian Fellows!”
October 21st, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Come on now! Koko B. Ware was awesome. If you want to pick on a bird-based gimmick you should have gone with The Red Rooster.
October 21st, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Repo Man? Blasphemy! That gimmick rocked.
I can show you at least 50 guys on the indy circuit past and future with sillier personas than this list.
October 21st, 2008 at 2:23 pm
What about the genius aka Lanny Pofo? He would recite terrible poetry before matches, then whenever he got hit he would prance about effeminately. Apparently, to the main audience of the WWF being smart meant that you pranced and preened about. Why am I not surprised?
October 21st, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Isaac Yankem = Kane

Koko B. Ware on this list is garbage!!!!
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:07 am
SHOCKMASTER, he was the same guy as Tugboat and like 15 times worse
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:09 am
how did the gobbledy gooker not make this list?
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:26 am
Yeah, there were a few that are missing. However, what was really sad is regarding no. 9. Both of those wrestlers were talented for their profession. IRS was Mike Rotundo who was a great in-ring performer. Repo Man was Smash from Demolition!
Now for my additions:
Anything Brutus Beefcake did after he returned to wrestling from his accident. Booty Man? Zodiac? How about the Disciple that ended up being a jobber?
Rockabilly? Billy “Bad Ass” Gunn doesn’t seem to great now does he?
The Ringmaster Steve Austin? He did turn it around but he lost to the likes of Savio Vega. Speaking of…
Kwang the Ninja aka Savio Vega. Who has ever seen a fat ninja before?
“It’s a good thing” DDP. Umm, nothing says “I can’t get over” more than a motivational speaker gimmick in pro wrestling.
The Ding-dongs. Do I have to explain?
Does anyone remember that Issac Yankem was repackaged as “Diesel?” After Kevin Nash left for WCW, they made a new Razor Ramon and Diesel. Yep, they sucked. However, Yankem improved just slightly as Kane. (Dude, one word: mask.)
I could probably come up with a couple more, but my head hurts just remembering these characters.

Tugboat isn’t even that guy’s worst gimmick. He was also the Shockmaster. Bumbling idiot in a sparkly stormtrooper helmet.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:28 am
The gobbly gooker anyone?
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:32 am
Colonel DeBeers…the racist South African Aparthied era military officer who feuded relentlessly with any AWA wrestler of color and repeatedly bashed Superfly Snuka in the head with the ring bell…
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:20 am
The Hurricane - the guy was like 5′ 110lbs. He was more like a shower.
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:39 am
IRS was a great character. Props to the guy who mentioned that earlier. Mike Rontundo was a great wrestler. That running short leg drog he would do always look vicious.
Also what about the ‘Goon’?
Half of those gimmicks up there did pretty well for themselves with the fans. Gangrel was huge for awhile. His followers Edge and Christian have definitely gone to bigger things, but Gangrel was pretty big for awhile.
In terms of ridiculousness what about when Mark Henry was banging Mae Young? Think about being pitched that!
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:00 am
You forgot about the Shockmaster.
a fat dude in a glitter blue stromtropper helmet
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:32 am
even if it was a horrible costume the tugboat was awesome.
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:50 am
Had to be Golddust. Took a good wrestler, painted him gold and turned him into a girl. Quasi-gay wrestlers never go over for too long.
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Man .. there was one guy in i think NWA or WCW .. it was played by Terry Taylor and he was called the Computerized Man or something and his manager would type actions into a laptop .. when someone took the laptop he couldn’t perform .. and Gold Dust always creeped me out
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:59 pm
GLACIER.
ENOUGH SAID!
October 22nd, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Dude, not even close.
Who in America is more hated than the IRS? Teamed with the Million Dollar Man, that was sheer brilliance.
Gangrel/Edge/Christian had the whole Goth thing going, and he was much better than them at that point.
Disco Inferno? What easier way to be instantly hated than coming to the ring to a disco beat. And the guy was hilarious in the role.

October 22nd, 2008 at 1:42 pm
The Shockmaster has to be the worst. The idiot even falls when making his entrance. How Sid keeps a straight face in the famous Youtube vid is beyond me.
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Wasn’t there a piano player named The Maestro in WCW? Super lame…
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
First off, there was nothing wrong with the IRS gimmick. He was a great wrestler and an amazing heel. The Ship hated his guts as a kid.
Worst gimmick ever… hmmm… gotta say the many faces of Ray Traylor. He is known mostly as Big Bossman, but he also went by Guardian Angel, Big Bubba and by his own white trash-sounding name of Ray Traylor towards the end of his time in WCW before going back to WWE. Oh and don’t forget X-Pac, aka 1-2-3 Kid… The Ship doesn’t miss Sean Waltman one bit.
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Oh yeah, one more… Berlin. Like “Dancing Fool” Alex Wright wasn’t bad enough. When he first came out as “Berlin,” The Ship thought it’d be cool. It appeared that they were going to have him be a modern-day Hitler. We kept expecting him to say controversial things in the anti-semitic light. But being WCW, they were afraid to go there so he just turned into a stupid German with a bad haircut. If they didn’t want to go full out, they shouldn’t have started in that direction.
October 22nd, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Looking back a few years: Pampero Firpo with his shrunken head fetish. Fritz von Erich (former SMU footballer Jack Adkisson) goose-stepping around the ring as a Nazi stormtrooper. Dick the Bruiser’s feud with Alex Karras. Ricki Starr devastating opponents with ballet twirls. Glandular disease victim Maurice Tillet as the French Angel. Bobo Brazil’s Coco Butt. Sky Low Low, Little Beaver, Lord Littlebrook and all those other midget wrestlers. (We were so innocently un-PC back then!)
October 22nd, 2008 at 4:18 pm
How about The Artist formerly known as Prince Iakea
October 22nd, 2008 at 4:34 pm
What about what they did to Adrian Adonis, dressing him up in pink tights and making him all fem? Adrian was actually a good wrestler in his day, and they turned him into a joke at the end of his career. Super schlocky and very sad.
October 22nd, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Tugboat and IRS were decent gimmicks and they were fairly well liked. Change Tugboat to Shockmaster, then you have your real #1!

If anyone remembers…The DOA (Disciples of Apocalypse). Crush, Chainz, Skull & 8-Ball. These guys were garbage….they had the most boring matches everytime they wrestled. Savio Vega and The Big Boss Man’s gimmik as Ray Traylor in WCW were boring and stupid as well. IRS and Repo Man were great heels.
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Forgot to mention….Brooklyn Brawler, and Barry Horriwitz (the guy who patted himself on the back).
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Oz from WCW. Kevin Nash before he was Diesel. Ridiculous!
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:30 pm
PLEASE! THE absolute worst gimmick was Tony Atlas as Saba Simba. Actually made me feel sorry for him…..truly pathetic.
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:37 pm
How many of you actually remember Isaac Yankem and who he is now? None other than Kane.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:02 pm
I used to watch wrestling in the 70’s and 80’s…let’s see…there’s The Beast - a little guy (supposedly) from Sicily whose finishing move was the bear hug - he looked too cute to harm a fly…Lee Henning - a crusty old guy who had the claw hold - basically pinching the ‘white meat’ on a guy’s sides……what about The Love Brothers and their 70’s psychedelic pants?…..too many to choose from in the 80’s: the Bushwhackers, waving thier arms up and down all the time…the subsequent gay versions of Adrian Adonis and Dusty Rhodes….why did Jesse the Body Ventura wear a feather boa (or was that somebody else?…..the Honky Tonk Man - he was a joke….okay I gotta go to sleep!
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:27 pm
I have to agree with a lot of the posts. IRS, Repo Man, Koko B. Ware, Tugboat, and Disco Inferno were great entertainers. Regardless of the granted weirdness of the gimmicks, they were great in the ring. Gangrel was more of a marketing ploy for White Wolf industries than a gimmick, and regardless, he is/was a great performer. The Full Blooded Italians were a pretty bad gimmick, just with a couple of good performers. I guess that doesn’t count either. Regarding “what did I miss”, don’t even think about touching the Honky Tonk Man! It wasn’t the most amazing gimmick in the world, but he was very entertaining, really fun to watch, and a great wrestler.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:36 am
Here are a few other great ones….
Barry Darsow the golfer
The Stalker Barry Windham
Man Mountain Rock
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:40 am
He missed the worst gimmick of all time.
Mantaur…he had cloven hoof and wore a buffalo head…the good wasn’t so good either…he had boots that looked like hockey skates…TL Hopper entered to toilet flush sfx….
October 23rd, 2008 at 6:50 am
Damien Demento….who, appropriately, was from “the outer reaches of your mind.”
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:05 am
FBI - Little Guido was a phenomenal wrestler so no way can you say FBI sucked because he put on some great matches
I would love to add though is Justin Credible. I always hated him. He was terrible on the mic, terrible in the ring and for whatever reason Paul E had him kicking the shit out of all the names he ever created. He was the weakest “hardcore” wrestler ECW had. He tried his best to rip off Dreamer, Sandman, Raven, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair and failed miserably all the time doing it.
No wonder ECW failed with him at the helm. Paul E must’ve been banging him because there is no reason he should have been as promoted as he was. Meanwhile his tag team partner for the “Impact Players” was Lance Storm and he was wildly underrated. The rolling single leg crab was a great finisher and he was another solid solid Canadian wrestler. Then of course there was Dawn Marie who was one of the trashiest hot pieces of ass ever.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:37 am
Here’s a few that you definitely missed:
-Droz
-Duke the Dumpster Drose
-Made in the USA Lex Luger. Think about it, this guy was as far from being a US Patriot as possible. I think Iron Mike Sharp would have made a better “Made in the USA” than Lex.
-”The Spark Plug” Bob Holly. Nothing says “fierce” like a guy who is also a racecar driver. Vroom!
-Kamala the Ugandan Giant. Simply awful.

“Battle Cat.”
Appeared on maybe 3 TV shows back in the 1990s and was absolutely pathetic in all of them.

Also, the very short lived Kerwin White, aka Chavo Guerrero. What a disgrace, both on a wrestling and social level.

Also every attempt Mark Henry made to be deadly…nothing worked, he just sucked. Remember Mae Young giving birth to a hand?
Nomination for worst finish move…unpopular as it may be. Hogan’s “Hulk up” and the dreaded “Leg drop”…how did I ever like this crap?

November 10th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
All good choices, but there will never be anything more lame than Kenny “The Sodbuster” Jay who wrestled out the Twin Cities in late 1970s and early 1980s. He was a chump who lost to many guys who went national later, like Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, et al.
Seriously, who’s afraid of a Sodbuster?
November 10th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
how about Quang, he spit weird fairy dust out of his mouth one a match, almost never won

What about Ravishing Rick Rude who would come out and belittle all the guys while he took his robe off in front of their ladies? Or how about Yokozuna? He couldn’t speak and Mr. Fuji could barely rattle out English for him. The worst character though I think belongs to Brother Love. Red faced, slicked back hair, yelled and was annoying as hell.

Ok,,,lets face it there have been some pretty bad gimmicks over the years…but luv ‘em or hate ‘em we’re still gonna watch to see who the hell we can laugh at next. Oh B/T/W to all the wrestlers reading this,,,the fans aren’t that stupid,changing your name,wearing new war-paint,or putting on a mask…we still can figure out who you are. And speaking of masks…for those who deciede to take them off…leave ‘em off(Rey Mysterio)…and Kane put yours back on,your character was more intimidating with it.
