10 Dumbest Wrestling Gimmicks Of All Time

Nobody likes going to the dentist. In fact, most of us like to see our dentist as little as possible, so why, in God€™s name, would we want to watch one work a wrestling match!? Here€™s the angle (and we swear, every word of this is true), Jerry €˜The King€™ Lawler, the legendary Memphis wrestler who has probably held more singles championships than any other wrestler that ever lived, decided to HIRE HIS DENTIST in an attempt to defeat Bret €˜The Hitman€™ Hart. €˜Kay... So, to reiterate, Lawler, the massively experienced, highly decorated veteran pro wrestler, couldn€™t beat The Hitman, so he thought his dentist might have better luck... In fairness, The King€™s dentist was actually the 7-foot 300 pounder Glen Jacobs, who would later find (much deserved) success as Kane, but even still, its a f*cking stupid story premise. Hart and Yankem feuded in 1995, after which the evil dentist character found himself jobbing to established WWF stars in a series of meaningless matchups. Quite right, too. It makes the whole business look stupid if any old dentist can step into the ring and credibly challenge a bona-fide wrestling star like Bret Hart...
