10 Hilariously Awful Career-Killing WWE Gimmicks From The 2000s

9. The Dicks

Who could forget The Dicks, the pint-sized stripper tag team that wrestled for WWE in 2005 and 2006? Oh, you mean everyone has forgotten about them? Oh, okay then. The Dicks were doomed from the beginning. For a start, they were way too short by WWE standards. This is partly the reason why WWE's resident goon squad of JBL, Chris Benoit and The Undertaker decided to mercilessly rib them. Now, the best thing to do when somebody is to ignore the rib and just take it in your stride. This way you gain the respect of the locker room, showing that you're a good sport and that you have the thick skin needed to survive in wrestling. Dicks member Chad Wicks went the other way, loudly and openly complaining about the ribbing and, needless to say, this did not sit well with the veterans. Wicks' partner Tank Tolland (who was taking the hazing well) got so frustrated with his partner that he punched him in the face. This came after Wicks had apparently gotten so hysterical after an appearance in Wrestler's Court that he locked Undertaker and co. in a bathroom and fled the scene. The Dicks were soon released, for their own safety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaJZus5Svac As for the gimmick? What exactly was it? They were like budget chippendales, a couple of oiled-up beefcakes with very little wrestling ability and bad entrance music. Tank Tolland found work in Ring of Honour afterwards but Chad Wicks hasn't been seen since.
