10 Worst Supernatural Gimmicks

10. Kevin Thorn

A victim of the all-too-literal relationship WWE's ECW relaunch chased with host channel Sci-Fi, Kevin Thorn was the permanent solution to an apparent need to feature a character that represented the broad remit of the network.

Having infamously trotted out a zombie on the debut edition of the show as a willing victim of a Sandman caning, rumours abounded that an actual alien was set to follow, with the 'ECW Martian' nickname gathering pace ahead of a sure-to-be unpleasant arrival on planet Earth.

Thankfully, that never made air (despite a momentary appearance of the costume in a throwaway segment with Vince McMahon on Monday Night Raw), but Thorn's vampire persona became the permanent solution to the mandated request.

Paired with Tarot reader Ariel, the pair were enthusiastic enough in the roles, but the personas were muddled mash-ups of the traditional 1920s Nosferatu imagery and contemporary emo-tinged 'Twilight' heartthrobs.

Bullishly inserted onto the roster, Thorn wasn't particularly terrifying as a wrestler, with his homogonised style horribly diluting the heavily gimmicked overall presentation.

Notable for his appearance in the worst match of maybe WWE's worst ever pay-per-view, Thorn and Ariel were sunk when the mixed tag contest with Mike Knox and Kelly Kelly collapsed under the weight of the quartet's inexperience

A vampire in teeth alone, Thorn was just another guy in 2007's heel 'New Breed' stable, before returning to a developmental abyss from which he'd never return.
