10 Intellectual Wrestling Gimmicks (With Varying Levels Of Success)

Although the Cerebral Assassin's plans were rarely more complicated than "jump someone in the hall/garage" or "hit him with a sledgehammer", there's no denying his success in the ring.
He somehow manipulated Rikishi into running over Stone Cold Steve Austin with his car. He betrayed every tag team partner he ever had, yet never struggled to find a new one. He had belts handed to him, stole Roman Reigns' thunder, somehow avoided tarnishing his career with the Katie Vick angle, and even turned babyface by taking credit for NXT.
And he married the boss's daughter. The man's a diabolical genius.
