10 Wrestlers With The Most Gimmicks
Sorry, Foley, you need more than three faces to make this list.
When you think of wrestlers with a lot of gimmicks, I'm sure the Three Faces of Foley and Nelson Frazier's turns as Mabel, Viscera, and Big Daddy V come to mind. After all, reinvention is the name of the game when it comes to a long-lasting career in the squared circle. Just ask Terry Funk and Chris Jericho.
But between the old territory days and the penchant for guys in WWE and WCW to change gimmicks at the drop of a hat (or the drop of a leg, in Ed Leslie's case), some wrestlers had more gimmicks than the nWo had jobbers on their roster.
There are some special cases whose gimmick counts went into double digits.
Sorry, fans of Max Moon (7), Doink the Clown (8), The Red Rooster (7), The Big Boss Man (8), Stevie Richards (9), and The Brooklyn Brawler (9), but you just missed the cut. Also, wrestlers who made a habit of cosplaying as other wrestlers don't count, since "I copy other wrestlers" is a single gimmick.
An honorable mention does go out to the Big Show for his seemingly endless array of face and heel turns. More than once a year for over twenty years is... well, it's not great, but it's certainly something.
10. Kevin Sullivan (10)
Best known by modern fans for his cartoonish run as The Taskmaster in the abysmal Dungeon of Doom stable during Hulk Hogan's initial babyface run in WCW, Kevin Sullivan's career has spanned decades, from wrestler to booker and back again.
In the early days, you could find him wrestling under names like Johnny West or Kevin Caldwell. By the time he started making appearances in Eddie Graham's Championship Wrestling from Florida, he was The Boston Battler. Sounds like a fine rival for The Brooklyn Brawler.
The Gamesmaster, The Masked Lucifer, The Satanist, The Master... he traveled the territories with all sorts of sinister-sounding titles.
But Jim Crockett Promotions and World Championship Wrestling were where he found the most success, often under his own name. At least, when he wasn't masquerading as The Great Wizard beside Kevin Nash's short-lived OZ gimmick.
The Great Wizard made The Taskmaster look positively dignified by comparison.
