What are the top 10 WWE/WWF gimmicks? What are the worst?
I'll take a shot at it...
Top 10 WWF/WWE gimmicks
1) The Undertaker
2) The Million Dollar Man
3) Mr. Perfect
4) Big Bossman
5) Demolition (although it was a rip on the Road Warriors)
6) Goldust
7) Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake
8) Hillbilly Jim
9) Razor Ramon
10) Diesel
Honorable Mention: The Honky Tonk Man, Mankind, The Godfather, Rick "The Model" Martel, The Hurricane, Val Venis, Doink the Clown (especially evil Doink), Yokozuna, Hacksaw Jim Duggan wielding 2 x 4, Kane, Bray Wyatt, The Natural Disasters, Edge & Christian, The Hardys, Lita, The Rock
Ultimate Warrior, Jake the Snake, Junkyard Dog, Sgt. Slaughter, Iron Sheik, Hulk Hogan, Hercules, Kamala, Rick Rude, Road Warriors, Triple H, Stone Cold arguably had their gimmicks pre-WWF. Though the Waylon Mercy gimmick had potential...suspect it's an influence on Bray Wyatt, liked the Widow Maker gimmick for Barry Windham which was likely an influence on the Undertaker.
