20 Most Cringe-Worthy Gimmicks In WCW History

18. Black Blood

Billy Jack Haynes might be the craziest wrestler to ever step in the ring. Not crazy in a good way, but legitimately bats**t insane. Anyone who has followed his rants in interviews is well aware of this. While at the time the gimmick of Black Blood seemed pretty dumb, in hindsight the decision to dress him up as a medieval executioner isn't that farfetched. Sporting a black hood (over a black mask) and carrying an axe, Black Blood was accompanied to the ring by the master of the macabre, Kevin Sullivan. Are axes even allowed in wrestling? If not, then why did he bring it, and if so then why not just use it on your opponent? To the surprise of no one the gimmick went nowhere and Haynes was axed from the company quickly.
