10 Gimmicks So Bad They Didn't Even Make It To WWE TV

10. The Revival: Joke Tag Team

It's quite astonishing that this never made it to air.

The Revival found themselves in an exhausting game the very second they requested their release from WWE. The answer was no, obviously. And how dare they ask! They must be punished!

They were punished as part of a programme with the Usos - that in literally every other promotion of renown would have been great, which rather supports their decision to leave - by being recast as prank victims. Scott Dawson burned his a**hole with topical cream before he shaved his partner's back in the shower. This was meant to be some hilarious (read: gay!) suggestion that the Revival were rather too close and did things real men didn't, which was puzzling. WWE has for years exclusively promoted wrestlers so hairless that, genetically, they have more in common with eels than they do you or me. Now that is scientific fact.

But WWE were also keen on convincing the Revival to re-sign - there can be no other pro wrestling anywhere - which might explain why they eased off on the campaign and said sh*t like "We promise to start caring about tag team wrestling again".

WWE didn't, and they might have put the Revival in these horrendous jester outfits had the ongoing pandemic not allowed them to ensure record profits by removing them the f*ck from the books.
