10 Worst Wrestling Masks

5. The Johnsons

Also, at least Storm didn't have to literally play a walking penis.

No such luck for The Johnsons though. In 2002, fans watching TNA's weekly pay-per-views were introduced to Richard (Dick) and Rod Johnson - as if those lame penile puns weren't stupid enough, the company put the team with manager Mortimer Plumtree (plums as in...never mind) and literally dressed them up like dicks.

19 years have passed since The Shane Twins/Gymini enjoyed a short run in an upstart company, and yet nobody who ever witnessed it or read about the gimmick afterwards can forget how bad it was. Their masks and full bodysuits were that colour for a reason (ladies and gents, meet the world's first pasty-white penis wrestlers).

Dick and Rod were presumably supposed to look like condoms too. Thank God TNA stopped short of taking a felt tip pen and drawing on little circles of hair. That's perhaps the only thing that could've made this even worse.

Ribbed for nobody's pleasure.
