10 Wrestlers You Were Too Embarrassed To Admit You Loved

10. Adam Bomb

Adam Bomb was a big tall man with great hair and a passable gimmick, in a time where there was unfortunately already one in a substantially more powerful position. Right around the time Bryan Clark was debuting on television as a Three Mile Island meltdown survivor, a slightly taller man with slightly better hair and a slightly better gimmick was getting rocket-strapped thanks to an on-screen relationship with Shawn Michaels.

The looming shadow of Kevin Nash wasn't the only reason Adam bombed, but it always felt as though minds had been made up within the organisation and the nascent New Generation wasn't big enough for the both of them.

More's the pity, because Bomb was at times way more than just a silly gimmick. He left his feet often considering his size, particularly when he turned babyface on slimy manager Harvey Wippleman in 1994. Though his work improved as a result (and his gear amendments were sharper than the end of Vince McMahon's booking pencil), his character suffered from immense creative neglect.

The mushroom cloud pyro and line of toy bombs didn't reflect an otherwise non-committal attitude from the company, even when big Bryan went and had an old tattoo adjusted to put over the gimmick.
