WWE: "Here's a gimmick. Do it or you're fired..."

Also WWE: "Hey... remember that gimmick we *MADE* you do? It didn't work out. You're fired."

I will admit Eugene gave me one of my favorite segments ever from Raw. When he was GM for a night and had a game of musical chairs determine the #1 contender for the IC title.

DDP could have been absolute 🔥 in WWE. Just imagine if Vince used him correctly pushed him and then just a few years later we could have had Diamond Cutter vs RKO

[SHSscorp]

I actually liked Eugene. Him mimicking legendary wrestlers of yesteryear was great.

Brodus 100% got on somebody’s bad side because he’s been hated in every promotion he’s been in.

[MattDoesLife]

DDP might have his career ended by a bad gimmick, but he saved many people's lives.

I don't know if Eugene was destroyed, from what I remember all the fans loved him including those with special needs. He was cheered and not laughed at.

[derekwhite]

Does Vince have a thing/fantasy for family affection? I’m not sure what to call it. He even tried to have a storyline where Stephanie was pregnant with his own kid. Huh? Am I missing something here?

[rickythekid]

I loved Eugene’s gimmick. I especially loved his tag team with Ric Flair where he mimicked Ric Flair’s moved and mannerisms perfectly.

Eugene was entertaining. I remember when he trolled Kurt Angle, asking him (as Angle had been doing to local talent for weeks) what's your name and where do you come from. When Angle went to answer Eugene cut him off with "it doesn't matter what your name is!" Brilliant

[emperorjack]

Kross is going to be up here one day isn't he.

I actually liked the lord tensai gimmick what killed it was that they never acknowledge that Albert was in Japan before he came back. It would have made sense on why he was given the name tensai

[margegarland]

Funkasaurus was funny. It could have been better if they let brodus clay run with it, his way

[Phentari]

Let's be honest: there was no way the Shockmaster was going to get over. He could've come through that wall, done a triple backflip and a no hands cartwheel, and landed perfectly, and he still would have been a guy in a glitter-covered toy Stormtrooper helmet with the Black Scorpion's voice.

[DrBeanBaggin]

Eugene character was actually entertaining

[kyuremcjn]

Mike Awesome could of been the face of WCW when I look back in his ECW days I was impressed with his matches and how good he was, he had the body, great chemistry, and honestly knew how to get the Crowds to cheer for him, RIP Mike Awesome

[Larry]

Surprised the Bastion Booger didn't make the list!

[constablekennedy]

Lord Tensai was D.O.A in the WWE and the ‘ShockMaster’ is just Comedy Gold … 😂

[RebelRockstar]

Not gonna lie, at first I was clicking on WL for the top 10 lists topics, just like this one . Then I started watching and also became anticipating the daily wrestling news . And I haven't watched wrestling since 08 . My point is that this channel has brought me back a passion that was once lost .
