With a good gimmick and some grappling skills, a wrestler can enjoy a decades-long career in the ring. (Just ask Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan.) With a terrible gimmick, though, even a rising star can crash and burn. Lots of top wrestlers have struggled through horrible gimmicks before hitting it big. How well do you know these conceptual nightmares?
83% – I missed the Midnight Rider (we didn’t have the NWA where I was from) and the Spider Friend.
