8 Amazing Wrestling Gimmicks That Died Too Soon

SCU's gimmick of saying every place that they visited (apart from Southern California) was "the worst place they have ever been to" led to them being one of the most popular acts on the indies. Even though Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian were crowned the first-ever AEW Tag Team Champions, the pair and indie legend Christopher Daniels found it hard to gain that same momentum as part of the beginning of AEW.

Spare a thought for Frankie Kazarian and his 'Elite Hunter' gimmick, though. As The Elite turned heel and added The Good Brothers to their ranks, they began taking out several members of the roster that they had previously considered friends. When their attention was turned to Christopher Daniels and they put him on the shelf, Frankie Kazarian adopted the cigar-smoking bad ass character 'The Elite Hunter'.

Clad in a leather jacket, the idea was that no matter where they went or what they were doing, 'The Elite Hunter' was going to be a one-man thorn in their side, hell bent on taking down AEW's premier group. This ended after just a few weeks when Doc Gallows flattened Kazarian, and the whole gimmick was dropped like it was just a figure of our imagination.
