10 Most Ridiculous ECW Gimmicks

4. Roadkill

Then, on the other side of the coin, Heyman simply enjoyed presenting completely bonkers gimmicks that couldn't be compared to anything else. Roadkill is a perfect example of that kind of mindset, because where else other than the original ECW could wrestling fans find an Amish chicken farmer-turned professional wrestler? It was incredible to witness. Making his debut in 1996 following his training at ECW's 'House Of Hardcore' school, Roadkill shortly thereafter formed a tag-team alongside Danny Doring. Going against the grain for duos, there was nothing to match both men with one another, they were a completely odd pairing. Nonetheless, they became popular eventually and were well-received babyfaces by the time ECW went out of business. Roadkill didn't do much talking, he instead simulated choking a chicken (the joke was intentional) with his hands and grunted, "Chickens" over and over again. It was ludicrous, but the ECW fans didn't care. A little known fact is that Amy 'Lita' Dumas once managed Doring and Roadkill, long before she worked for WWE.
