8 Wrestling Gimmicks That Wouldn't Work In 2016

8. The Boy Band

Before one even begins to talk about professional wrestling, it is clear that boy bands no longer work in music in 2016. The 1990s were a time of what seemed like a conveyor belt of boy bands, on both sides of the pond. Whether it was Take That, 5ive, East 17, or any of the others, the music charts were full to bursting point with scantily clad young chaps singing about girls that gipped them.

This is scarcely acceptable in music now, so it certainly won't work in professional wrestling. You could argue that the gimmick never worked at all. 3 Count are the example that jumps to the minds of most (for better or worse), and despite the best efforts of Shane Helms, Shannon Moore and Evan Karagias, the trio were nothing more than a joke way back in 2000.
