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

8. Obese Black Love Machine

Poor, poor Mark Henry. He's a legitimate superhuman phenomenon that's still the strongest dude on the planet by a fair number of metrics, but man has he ever been booked badly. It's been twenty years and he's looked impressive for what, eight months? He gorilla pressed Vader back in '96, and until his beautiful Hall of Pain run in 2010 he was most famous as outsized Casanova "Sexual Chocolate." It was the Attitude Era, so if you had a legitimate Olympian strongman who could lift a car, you'd naturally think he'd work best as a comical grandma-lover. Now, since the Ruthless Aggression Era was just a pale imitation of the Attitude Era, they did the exact same thing a few years later by transforming pleathered occultist Viscera into the World's Largest Love Machine. Without any of Mark Henry's freakish athleticism, Big Vis literally just humped his opponents into submission. We're probably lucky that this gimmick isn't exactly PG, otherwise they'd be spoon-feeding Big E bacon grease as we speak and turning him loose on the set of Total Divas.
