10 WWE Ideas So Awful Even Legends Couldn't Get Them Over
5. Issac Yankem DDS
The wrestling dentist wasn't the first or worst mid-1990s moonlighter gimmick kicking around in the doldrums of WWE's creative nadir, but it was given the biggest opportunity to succeed at its inception.
Vince McMahon's love of a Glenn Jacobs push has been apparent for over two decades now, with the man behind the Kane mask saddled with two abysmal personas before finally clicking as The Undertaker's sadistic sibling in 1997. Long before his duplicitous dye job died a death as a discount Diesel, Jacobs donned daft decay as a dental destroyer. McMahon was the real d-bag for forcing Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler to literally work their socks off in order to justify the existence of the gimmick in the first place after 'The King's 'Kiss-My-Foot' loss a month earlier.
Hart and Lawler's feud survived and thrived amongst some of the worst creative ever thrown at such talents, with the pair literally getting years out of 'Your Mom' jokes, an absurd assertion that 'The Hitman' hated foreigners and the aforementioned regalities. Issac Yankem DDS was just another ludicrous idea thrust upon them that the audience ironically refused to swallow. Removed from their conflict, he was barely a worthy filling for the lower-card before his next troubled repackage.
