Since there’s no Collision tonight to entertain everyone, let’s get weird.

Think deep folks. We’ve all watched a lotta wrestling over the years. What is/are the stupidest goddamned gimmick(s) you’ve ever seen that made you wonder how it got greenlit? Racist? Idiotic? Poorly timed? Name em!

(And let’s strike out The Gobbledy removeder and The Shockmaster as honourable mentions).

    Beaver Cleavage.

    Take an established mid-card tag team wrestler, and stick him in a solo run with a Leave it to Beaver-themed gimmick with huge overtones of incest which made no sense, was…ew…and was 30 years too late to be relevant to a small portion of the audience watching the show.

      Vince was really into incest even wanting to do an angle with his daughter carrying his baby he was maybe before his time based on porn trends, but I digress. Sick fucks are sick fucks is all I can gather, maybe it’s something wrong with billionaires, because Orange Jesus, sorry if some of you like him, seems to have a thing for his daughter.
