10 Times WWE Wrestlers Played Two Gimmicks At Once
The iconic WWE Superstars that offered two characters for the price of one.
It takes skills beyond the tangible to get over as a professional wrestler, and if you don't believe that, just ask a promoter.
The men and women that have made money from the bodies of the other men and women have forever searched for the intangible. The "It Factor". That one special ingredient they can't actually describe that fuses a performer to an audience in such a way that makes money for everybody as if from nowhere. And that's the thing about this particular mythical quality - if it could be booked, it'd be bottled and given to every single trainee that walks through the door.
Wrestlers are physically amazing humans doing physically amazing things, yet are required to go beyond all the risks attached to all that to become actual stars. They're salespeople, selling themselves, their match, the show and/or their employers every time they go through the curtain.
It takes all of this - plus your bosses even recognising it - to get over as a professional wrestler. It takes even more to manage it as two different ones in the same body...
10. Bray Wyatt - The Fiend
The most obvious choice for a list like this because it's happening right now (and generates the sort of divisive response that ensures he will at least stay on television even if there are plot holes wide enough to drive trucks through) Bray Wyatt's updated character still requires a bit of figuring out from a company that hasn't known where its a*se was since The Rock was still dropping elbows.
He literally plays two characters. That much is irrefutable. As Bray Wyatt, he's the happy, smiling, waving kids TV host guy who has a sneer or two in his locker but little else that'd worry the rank and file of the main roster. As The Fiend, he's a mad clown that may or may not fancy Alexa Bliss, but has infantilised her anyway while he makes up his mind. Also he can come back from being burned to a ready salted crisp and can literally travel into the psyche of his opponents, but he's not indestructible because otherwise he wouldn't have been so easily beaten by Bill Goldberg.
All of this is to say that he's in a better place than he was before the reinvention, but he'd been original Bray Wyatt for five years by that point. We are less than two into The Fiend; feels like we'll be begging for Husky Harris 2.0 long before 2024.
