10 WCW Superstars Who Should Blame WWE For Their Crappy Gimmicks

10. Oklahoma (Jim Ross Mockery)

The Oklahoma character was a creation of WCW's writing team consisting of Vince Russo and Ed Ferrera. It's a gimmick that was based on WWE announcer Jim Ross, so while it's not a traditional gimmick and is more of an imitation, it was still a crappy character that never should have been on television. He was out there mocking JR's Bells Pallsy that caused him to have a facial paralysis. It was brutal to watch. WCW's creative minds must have thought it really was a good idea because Oklahoma was pushed to the point where he became the WCW Cruiserweight Champion. That was a title that used to be coveted, but they absolutely killed it by putting it on a comedy character that was overweight. Years later, Ferrera apologized to Ross about it and he was even a guest on his podcast earlier this year. Both Russo and Ferrera have said they regretted that they did the character, so at least they were able to admit it was wrong. As they always say in wrestling, time heals all wounds.
