i started watching wwe in 2006 and stopped in 2012, the reason i stopped is cuz i got hit with a reality check once i seen brodus clays entrance with disco, i knew we were heading towards kid friendly wwe, so i stopped before wm 28 even tho i was heavily addicted to wwe between those years and even bought both wm 26 and 27, and straight up stopped lololol i even gave away my wwe belts to my moms friends kid, and a lot of my favorite wrestlers weren’t in it anymore, jeff hardy leaving was a big one for me too, but i just started getting into it again a few weeks ago, figured id give it another go even tho we can’t get the attitude and ruthless years back

Dupree in general had a ton of potential. He was super young and had a great look. WWE dropped the ball

I've noticed that most heel turns spontaneously happen. There are no planted seeds in the betrayal they just all of sudden feel the urge to "betray" their partner just like Eugene's heel turn.

I'm convinced that the WWE writers actually bet each other on who can come up with the worst possible gimmicks and storylines.

Thinking back on it DiBiase had a perfect heel gimmick opportunity being his fathers son. What do people hate more than a cocky businessman? His son that didn’t have to do anything but take dads money. OR they could’ve really went a “Tommy Boy” route (though more comedy) he could be the dimwit son to the big businessman. Never understood why he was just basically a regular guy with money symbols on his tights and merch.

@@nehemiahpouncey3607 The thing about Ted is he had the look but he lack the charisma to make it work. He should had just wrestle in a business suit with a mouth piece to speak to the masses as everyone else was beneath him. He should had been caught trying to bribe wrestler into losing matches against him. (which is how his dad did it, but his dad did it in front of the ring with jobbers). since wwe lack jobber it should had been a backstage thing with hidden camera.

The only character that actually lasted LITERALLY seconds wasn't listed here, and that was Hade Vansen...

To be fair. I was there at Backlash when Big Show came out as Showster. That pop was huge!

I forgot Eugene turned heel. I actually wouldn't have minded seeing that play out, looking back.

That was very nice of you to call Brodus Clay’s ring work “average”.

The shortest and funniest gimmick was when Steve Austin wore a sheriff badge and Triple H destroyed it in seconds.

Going back to the 80's with Outback Jack .

You forgot Brodus Clay as Juggernaut!! I was so hyped for this gimmick!! The promos, an then WWE pulled it!! One of the most awesome gimmicks that I thought would have been over and they canned it!!

I expected to see Mordecai on this list (Kevin Thorn). That gimmick only lasted a couple weeks back in 2004 I think?

Mideon probably sneezed around Vince or something so he wanted to embarrass and bury him

Ted Dibiase should've got singes push

There was one interesting story of the Big Show's time impersonating other wrestlers: When Vince McMahon told him that he'd next be the Showfather, and would have to kiss one of his "hos", Show said he'd do it if Vince could clear it with Show's wife. Vince's solution: That's Show's wife as the "ho" he's kissing.

Chavo Guerrero as Kerwin White. How is that not on the list? That lasted less than some of the ones mentioned here!

If I'm not mistaken. Emmalina debuted on raw in Las Vegas. I was at that show. It was the same raw as the festival of friendship with Jericho and KO They need those tag titles back (Dibiase Posse)
