Well, the guy, anyway. I'll happily admit the gimmick was crap, but, I mean, he pulled it off somehow.
I would have loved to see him given anything better, just to see if anything would come of it. Anybody else remember that goofy vignette that floated around WWF Action Zone and the like for a while, wherein Duke Droese did impressions of the entire roster? Oh, yes you do. It was funny and you know it.
Anyway, if you remember that skit, you remember that even the wrestling garbageman made fun of Dean Douglas. That kind of puts it all into perspective.
hey u guys remember when shane douglas was tagged up with some guy and they would ride to the ring on skateboards? anyone remember their names? i always thought that was pretty bad.

The Dynamic Dudes...he tagged with Johnny Ace
My pick...Mark Henry; Transvestite Fondling, Grandma Humping Black Man. There's a reason every repackage for him bombs now.
Originally posted by Lord of the ManorThe Berzerker. Worst gimmick within a gimmick with that whole count-out finisher. Yeh, that was just a whole lot of devastation.
With respect due to the horrible gimmicks of our time....this IS the worst, hands down. At least the other gimmicks had something to do with humans in our era (clowns, garbagemen, etc) but this man was a friggin VIKING FROM ANCIENT TIMES! He said HUSK HUSK and held out his hand for NO REASON. His finisher was the topper. Seriously, if you never saw it, you wouldn't believe it. He simply throws a jobber through the ropes, gets the 10 count, and wins....that's it. I guess that's the reason he never won a match against a real non-jobber...I mean this dude was DOOMED from the second they created him.
Show some Berserker love, guys...I know we can't be the only ones who see this is as the worst of the worst.

Why do I seem to remember a match where Berzerker lost by DQ by trying to stab The Undertaker with his sword? Did this happen, or am I just insane?

Haha oh yes my friend, this did actually happen. I was thinking about it while I was writing my post. There was some sort of clusterfuck going on in the ring, and Berzerker knocked Taker out on the mat. He goes to grab his sword and plung it through Taker, but he does his trademark zombie situp and the sword goes straight through the mat. Shockingly, Berzerker wasn't charged with attempted murder. I mean, he's a VIKING.

To nitpick, it was BRAUN The Leprechaun.
And his portrayer was Wayne "Sarge" DeBruce (formerly Buddy Lee Parker of the State Patrol, and head trainer of the WCW Power Plant)
My favorite bad gimmick? Mark Henry's love affair with Chyna.

I have a special friend. He's the baby Jesus and I love him and...and...he don't give me no s**t and he don't f**k around and he's just the f**king coolest guy and I wanna say I love the baby Jesus.I can't say enough.I love the baby Jesus and I think...he's the best thing and he's really great when he shares his love for everbody.You know what I mean?I can't even see a manger without thinkin' about him,eh?I just love the Jesus.I've only been into him for a couple of hours though,but I'm really into him. --Bruce McCulloch
As much as I ADORE him for sticking with it, it has to be said...
KOKO B. WARE?????????
The guy's entire gimmick was, "Look, I own a parrot. His name is Frankie. I'm going to kick your ass."
Oh, and the fake Razor and Diesel. I was only, like, fourteen or fifteen, but I could not stand J.R. being a character, nor can I since--he's just fine behind the table, thank you.
Awww, their soccer team's lyin' all over the place!
Rasta the Voodoo Mon, back around 1992 in Global. But since he may be pretty unknown to people, I'll say the Undertaker going to the spirit world, or whatever happened at the Royal Rumble when 10 people attacked him. That made me embarrassed to be a fan.
