Readers and Staff Agree. 2007's Worst Gimmick is...

By World Wrestling Insanity's Readers & Staff Dec 25, 2007 - 10:16 AM

Pro wrestling is all about gimmicks, fun, and craziness.  So it says a lot when someone's gimmick can be considered the worst.  In this case, our winner not only played the worst character in 2007...he also appeared on Radio Free Insanity!  Hey, at least he did one thing right.

2007's Worst Gimmick is...

Dustin Rhodes as Black Reign

Reader Comments:

"Another WWE-lite gimmick that TNA is fond of. To instill fear in his opponents, he brings out a rat? Put that with the fact that he isn’t the greatest wrestler and an okay brawler, just nothing about this gimmick clicks."
- TS70646

 

"Schizophrenia gimmicks are hard enough to pull off at the best of times, but when the wrestler knows of his illness to the point where he names his finisher the 'Schizophrenic' and when one of his split-personalities requires two hours of make-up, it's not looking all that good on paper. Paper aside, in reality it sucked as well. Also, he had a rat for some reason.......I'm sure it made sense to the bookers"
- Blair Tyler

 

"You'll remember the name - Goldust.  You won't remember the name - Black Ray.  Or something like that."
- Roger Pearly

 


Staff Comments:

 

"Ummmm...Goldust...only black and silver...and stupid."
- Fritz Stephey

 

"Naturally, TNA wins this one for their “new” wrestler Black Reign.   Not only does Dustin Rhodes look like a zebra version of Goldust but his pet rat has got to be the lamest animal ever seen in wrestling (besides Dave Batista whose in-ring work is on par with a crippled sloth)."
- Mike Rickard

 

"I hate to question someone's mental illness - in this case, multiple personality disorder.  But, when your split personality requires three hours of make up...I'd say there's a good chance you're a faker."
- James Guttman
