6 WWE Gimmicks You Didn't Realise Died Horrible Deaths

3. Spirit Squad Shipped Off To Louisville, Kentucky!

This one was pretty funny because the Spirit Squad was a group of young heels that did the bidding of Vince & Shane McMahon during their 2006 feud with Shawn Michaels and Triple H aka Degeneration X. The group consisted of five younger wrestlers named Kenny, Nicky, Johnny, Mikey and Mitch. They actually had a run as tag team champions at one point, but for the most part were booked as a bunch of losers. During an angle on Raw in November of 2006, Triple H and Michaels finally were able to get rid of them. They did a comedy skit backstage where they dumped them all in a box and shipped them away with this label on it: "Destination: OVW Louisville, KY." In other words, they sent them back to WWE developmental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cpXDQA5nYA The most famous of the five guys ended up being Nicky because that's now Dolph Ziggler. The rest of them didn't have very long careers in WWE after that.
