10 Worst Women’s Gimmicks In WWE History

10. Ariel - Vampire

A lot of people are of the opinion that it’s difficult to get invested in a gimmick like Bray Wyatt’s - a character that makes no conceivable sense within the context of an athletic sport, when you give it a second thought. With that in mind, it was no easier to buy into Ariel and Kevin Thorn when they showed up on WWE’s revived ECW brand in 2006.

Thorn and Ariel were throwbacks, harkening back to characters like Vampiro, Gangrel and even The Undertaker in some ways, with Ariel in particular taking inspiration from B-Movie horror tropes. As a sneering, sharp-toothed seductress, Ariel was actually a fairly effective ring valet and occasional wrestler - it’s just that her gimmick didn’t fit in with anything else that was going on in WWE at the time.

Already well on its way out of the Ruthless Aggression era and into the PG Era, WWE couldn’t seem to find a place for two vampiric monsters alongside its Batistas, Bobby Lashleys and John Cenas, and the pair were released after less than a year on ECW TV.
