20 Most Cringe-Worthy Gimmicks In WCW History

17. Big Josh

Matt Borne was a tough, talented second generation wrestler who was respected as a worker all throughout the industry. He was a part of some great angles in Mid-South and wrestled on the first WrestleMania. So WCW took Borne and turned him into a...lumberjack. But not just any lumberjack. Had he just been a regular old woodcutter who wrestled in his spare time that wouldn't have put him on this list. After all, he was basically just Hacksaw Duggan with a different piece of wood. Big Josh was a lumberjack who danced with bears. If only someone in WCW had the forethought to make him a clown or something.
