15 Bizarre Wrestling Gimmicks You Won't Believe Happened More Than Once

2. Other Guy Impersonator

Okay, so maybe this one isn't as ridiculous as some of the others, but I'm ranking it high to emphasize of terrible it is in pretty much every case. You see, WWE loves a bad impressionist. Yeah, they had Jason Sensation for a hot minute, but that guy was really good. Ditto for Shark Boy and Jay Lethal in TNA, who both got a decent amount of mileage out of really solid impressions. But ff a guy proves to be utterly terrible, though, they will beat it into the ground as if to SPITE you. Their favorite candidates for this tend to be otherwise-talented performers that are a bit lost in the shuffle, but the gimmick tends to utterly kill any momentum the performer may have left. You get segments that are embarrassing for everyone involved.

The most recent version of this was poor Damien Sandow, who gradually devolved from bathrobed superintellect to Magneto to possibly the worst Randy Savage of all time. The same thing happened to Charlie Haas, whose impressions were at least limited to other wrestlers. Even Big Show was not immune, and was made to caper about in allegedly comical fashion as Showkishi, the Showster, and the Big Showbowski.
