Five most ridiculous WWF gimmicks
Posted: Jul 26th 2007 By: mikeiles
Wrestling has come under massive scrutiny since last month's Chris Benoit tragedy. But there was a time in the '80s and early 90s when the WWF (as it was then known) was about fun, simplistic -- and quite frankly -- dopey characters. Here's my list for the five most ridiculous WWF/WWE gimmicks. I'm not saying they weren't enjoyable. I'm just saying they were ridiculous.
1. Red Rooster: Poor Terry Taylor. He wore red tights, had a red mohawk and moved around the ring like a rooster.
2. Hillbilly Jim: Put overalls on a guy who has long hair and a beard, give him theme music with the lyrics, "Don't go messin' with a country boy," and tada, you have a character.
3. Ultimate Warrior: He wore face paint, armbands and shook the ropes. That was his whole gimmick.
4. Koko B. Ware: He came to the ring with his bird Frankie and flapped his arms.
5. Doink the Clown: Self-explanatory. He was a clown who wrestled.
Those are my five most ridiculous WWF/WWE characters/gimmicks. What are yours?
