How can we not have one of Mike Awesome's worst gimmicks:



The Fat Chick Thrilla, which transitioned into: That 70's Guy and went on to feud with Insane Clown Posse and make absolutely none of them look good.

please remember. "Fed Up" CM Punk was a very bad gimmick. When he was talking on the microphone he would always have a red flustered face and make a lot of mistakes while speaking. He would try to be a sarcastic and biting mixture of bad rear end and smarmy, which was as bad as the combination of cream cheese and sour cream, whipped cream, and Casu Marzu, the nastiest food in existence. His name stands for Casu Marzu Punk. He kept on trying to appeal to the fans by kissing a ton of arse and saying slogans directly from corporate in order to make more money for WWE, such as "Bring back the WWE ice cream bars." This was yet another extremely disgusting combination that didn't fit and made people uncomfortable. CM Punk became this gimmick in real life and stopped liking wrestling soon afterward. He hasn't watched any wrestling in five years. That's how bad the gimmick was.

both of these gimmicks destroyed the person's career.

Is there room in the contest to nominate Cavauro? Because I've seen some bad gimmicks, but this posting tops them.

I feel like we could do a whole second bracket on 'worst ring gear'.

A beloved babyface that wins all the time isn’t a bad gimmick.

Yeah, the 'Cena Wins LOL' era problem wasn't Cena winning all the time, it was that his wins were almost universally via no-selling all his opponent's offense and pulling out the 5 Moves Of Doom.

It did not make anyone look good.

Yeah, voted Rusev.

Lana's still getting hosed with over it. A gimmick bad enough that they're taking it failing out on the worker's wife is a new bar.
