What Happened To The 90's Worst Wrestling Gimmicks?

[@thebestcentaur]

Pacitti's smile playing the piano always kills me.

What kills me is that his finger never even touch the keyboard.

Barry had a totally different idea he pitched to Vince the gimmick and how he wanted to portray it Vince loved the character but wanted the gimmick to be different and in the end Vince won the argument and we got the repo man we all remember and Barry said it made him lose his passion cause his version didn't make him as an over the top comedy act like Vince made it

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. He briefly mentioned "Wrath," but he didn't talk about Adam Bomb. He seemed like a decent wrestler back in the day, but never really got any traction.

Fred Ottman also happens to be the uncle of Cody Rhodes. One other important detail that was not mentioned in this video. Is that the Kiss Demon was not the first time Dale Torborg got slapped with a bad wrestling gimmick. In 1995, when Torborg was working in the defunct American Wrestling Federation. He wrestled as The MVP. A Baseball player character similar to gang The Baseball Furies depicted in the 1979 movie The Warriors.

I still like you Glacier. Introducing Sub-Zero into the WCW just as it was transitioning into a more realistic setting was a bad call on the part of the management. If only you'd been introduced a few years earlier...

[@MachtPlays]

The timing wasnt the issue, it was the execution and the casting. I think if they had used at least an asian wrestler for it, it would have done much better. They should have just paid Muta to do it, he would have killed that shit.

Watching WWF in the 90s was like watching Sesame Street with "Who are the people in your neighborhood?" Yeah, with all the occupational gimmicks, you almost wanted to sing that little song from when you were a kid every time you saw a wrestler who was a policeman, a dentist, a plumber, a garbage collector, etc

[@herbert9241]

There was a Russian fighting channel (don't know if it's still here) which I think went one better. They'd have all these bare-knuckle martial arts dust-ups in farm yards and whatnot and they'd give the participants 'characters': army guy, trucker, etc. One upload was titled 'Night club bouncer vs. Four-eyed school kid' (or something similar). They'd dressed the fighter up as a reasonable approximation of a disheveled Harry Potter and he laid it on admirably thick with the credulous facial expressions - but there was no disguising his adult, athletic physique (no euphemism).
