10 Insane Details Wrestlers Put Into Gimmicks (And WWE Didn’t Care)

3. FTRKO

FTRKO The Revival Randy Orton
WWE

The Revival made no secret of their desire to get the f*ck out of WWE as soon as humanly possible when it became apparent that the company would never get on their wavelength.

Never was this clearer than when they were rubbing their a*ses along the canvas like dogs because The Usos spiked their deep heat, but also sucked was the company's failure to get on board with a relationship they formed with Randy Orton.

Randy Orton.

You know Randy Orton, right? It's been said by some, relentlessly, that if you could build a Sports Entertainer from the ground up you'd get Randy Orton, yet the two pro wrestling traditionalists meshed surprisingly well with him. They built the alliance up on Twitter like well behaved WWE Superstars, and even worked in some various triple team moves to make a seemingly forced together alliance feel incredibly organic.

This was, somewhat shockingly brilliant. It was, somewhat less shockingly, dropped without trace.
