10 Absolute Worst Gimmicks In WWE Right Now
2. Doudrop
What's in a name?
That famous Shakespearean line from Romeo & Juliet will stand the test of time, however, this writer has the answer. If the name is Doudrop, then it contains a career-killing gimmick before the career has even begun.
To be honest, Doudrop is on this list because her name is Doudrop. Someone in the back, most likely Vince McMahon, took one look at Piper Niven and thought... Doudrop. A fully grown woman, who is actually very good in the ring and has a different look to the rest of the roster.
Doudrop.
We know that Vince McMahon likes a certain kind of aesthetic for his women wrestlers (we already covered Eva Marie's baffling employment) and it doesn't take a genius to know he most likely gave her that name because he thinks bigger people are comic relief. Usually, if he sees value in a performer of a certain ilk, he usually throws them in a shameful t-shirt or full length outfit ala Kevin Owens or Nia Jax.
But not Doudrop.
She hasn't been booked particularly well, has been fed garbage to say on the mic, and let's face it, will never get over with such an awful name. The whole gimmick needs scrapping and Piper Niven deserves a chance of actually getting over.
Doudrop. Jesus Christ.
