10 Worst Gimmicks For The Best Wrestlers
4. Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt is one of WWE's hottest superstars. He brilliantly reinvented himself after a long run as leader of The Wyatt Family. Fans can't wait to see the next 'Firefly Fun House' or what 'The Fiend' will do next. However, he had to overcome his early WWE gimmick to reach the level of success he enjoys today.
Wyatt, who is the son of Mike Rotunda, the nephew of Barry Windham, and the grandson of Blackjack Mulligan, was initially allowed to use the Rotunda name in WWE’s developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling. However, he soon became Husky Harris and debuted on the main roster with The Nexus.
He often teamed with Curt Hennig’s son, Joe Henning, who was given the name Michael McGillicutty. The talented duo’s odd names and no push frustrated old school wrestling fans. Both were eventually repackaged. The Huskus character on ‘The Firefly Fun House’ is a rib on Wyatt's less-than-stellar past life.
