10 Wrestlers With The Most Gimmicks

4. Glenn Jacobs (12)

One of the most successful repackagings of all time, Glenn Jacobs would go from evil dentist Isaac Yankem DDS and a bad Diesel impersonator to the Devil's Favorite Demon, the brother of the Undertaker, the Big Red Machine, Kane.

But he had seven other gimmicks before he ever drilled his first tooth in the WWF. He plied his trade as Angus King before falling into the hands of booking madman Jerry Lawler, who would use him as Doomsday and The Christmas Creature. He would wrestle in other territories under his own name and as Bruiser Mastino in a single match for WCW.

In Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling, he was Unabomb, and that brought the attention of WWF. After a time as Mike Unabomb -- which might be weirder than any other gimmick he had -- he stumbled through McMahon's job-centric gimmick phase, then survived the ridiculous Fake Diesel character before striking gold as Kane.

That brings him to ten gimmicks, but I would argue that the original Kane, the unmasked Kane, and Corporate Kane were three separate characters, and therefore deserve their own spots on the list.

Still, when it comes to gimmick-heavy wrestlers, Glenn Jacobs is a success story like few others.
