10 Awful WCW Gimmicks That Immediately Died

Wikipedia describes Brutus Beefcake's short-lived 1995 Booty Man gimmick as "that of a man infatuated by his own buttocks".

And don't forget: this was a man who, largely - or so it's commonly believed - owing to his real-life friendship with Hulk Hogan, actually headlined Starrcade the previous year alongside the Hulkster. He was no joke. Was.

It's anyone's guess as to who among the WCW hierarchy thought that this would help Beefcake get over (probably, it was the same guy who came up with one of his other personas, The Man With No Name) - but, needless to say, it didn't work.

Perhaps that's merely because it was ahead of its time, though. Now that The New Day have made twerking a staple part of WWE programming, it's entirely possible that The Booty Man would have become a multi-time world champion in 2017.
