The way DiBiase portrayed it was too unique to be copied, especially nowadays as it doesn't fit modern day wrestling at all. Or honestly just modern times all around.

I don't think Damien Sandow failed at the gimmick, WWE failed him time and time again and Cena absolutely buried him. The man got himself over with every gimmick, even as Damien Mizdow he somehow got himself over. He was a solid worker and good on the mic. He's just another example of WWE not utilizing talent.

[@brandonyouth5241]

Lol exactly. They said winning or losing doesn't matter but fail to realize that if a superstar is constantly losing or even keep losing the big ones people will easily losing their interests in that said superstar. Granted, Sandow was pretty good at reinventing himself but still got the axe in the end because he's not supposed to get over. He's not really in their holy plan of becoming a major player, which is sad actually. Same can be said to alot of the superstars in this list alone like Ryback. He was so over with his streak but once he kept losing big matches people just didn't care anymore no matter where they put him in the card.

[@thelonewolf70x7]

Even as a Cena fan since I was a kid, I totally agree with you nowadays. Like, Cena was injured at the time, tired after a match enough for Damien Sandow successfully win the WHC title from Cena; but they had to book Cena to go Super Cena once again... Like, they could've make Sandow have a WHC title reign for a couple of weeks or even a month or two, then Cena challenges him for it after a couple of months, and win it back. At least Sandow would have a taste of the WHC for a time.

If you ever want to show someone how crazy WWE can be, show them the vignettes for Brodus Clay in 2011, then show them the ludicrous Funkasaurus segment from WrestleMania 28, and then tell them that WWE creative thought the dancing gimmick would be the one to make him a star...

When Brock debuted the fans chanted "Goldberg!" But they stopped as soon as they realized this dude can actually wrestle and is athletic too

What about Sami Zayn's "conspiracy theory"? Wasn't that R Truth 's heel gimmick a decade ago?

Booker T is like the fourth name I think of when I think of the king gimmick.

Chuck palumbo ripping off taker was cringe, ironically enough he used to bring Michelle McCool down to the ring with him

[@roberthunter7247]

"When you think about King of the Ring, you think about booker first." Absolutely Not! The Greats such as Bret Hart (2x), Triple H, Stone Cold, Edge, just to name a few, have won the king of the ring & never made a big gimmick deal about it. That in my mind, solidified the prestige of winning KOTR, they never let it get to their heads, which increased how much I appreciate them. I dig Booker T but he jacked Jerry King Lawler's gimmick & so did Corbin. It's like they let the victory get to their ego, oh king this & king that, that ishh gets old. The Original WWF/E Hall of famers had their KOTR achievements count toward the hall of fame & not toward a new but occupied gimmick. You don't fool me Booker T, you don't fool me man. When I think about King Of The Ring, I always think about Stone Cold first.

jerry "the king" lawler

[@brandonyouth5241]

True. I don't mind with them doing this "King" gimmick every once in a while after winning the tournament but problem is that they keep doing it with every KoTR winners since Booker and it just screams lazy writings. William Regal, Sheamus, Wade Barrett, Corbin and now Xavier. 20 writers backstage and this washed up, repetitive storyline is all they're ended up with lol

@@JBHAYES Who knows? I’ve just got a bad feeling about this. When something good gets degraded in WWE these days it usually means A, An upcoming release or B, reduced to Burial/Enhancement Talent.

[@deadpoolnerd]

Why is it that every luchador in America essentially has the gimmick of wanting to be the next Rey Mysterio? Like I understand he's one of THE most iconic American luchadors, but when Rey was coming up in ECW or WCW or early WWE his gimmick wasn't just happy luchador wanting to be the next Mil Mascaras.

[@daniyalahmed1442]

Your saying this because they all where masks?? If your trying to saying this.well I'm disagree with you these masks are the national occasion but I heard one rumer is Dominick Mysterio is going to where Mask too

[@The_Logician]

Some gimmicks were ahead of their time and some were too popular to not notice. What really sucks is when you get a gimmick you like and then its ruined by backstage politics

[@axemanfromresidentevil3834]

Goldberg vs Ryback would've been a very funny match for sure.

I feel Riddle has the potential to duplicate Shawn Michaels, if he’d just ditch that stupid Spicoli gimmick. Plus, the only great king is Randy Savage; all others since then copied and imitated him!

[@candyhochstmann4632]

and somewhere in the corner sits jerry lawler and scream "what about me"

Riddle has no chance ever to be anywhere close to the great shawn Michaels you must be on drugs lol

[@AlphachadEpicCollector]

@@jeffallen4393 You’re drugs! Obviously You didn’t hear what I said, I said IF they ditched the stupid Spicoli gimmick he has the POTENTIAL. But that’s all predicated on IF Riddle has the know-how and intelligence to parlay his character into a “showstopper” or exciting character, and IF the creatives take a chance on him to give him that push.

And Then comes The People's Champ, The Rock, who's catchphrases and moves are copied by even legends of WWF and WWE. Superstars and legends who don't need copy even they tried to copy The Rock's phrases and moves. People's champ for a reason. What a legend.
