8 Wrestling Gimmicks That Were Much Darker Outside WWE

4. Sir Mo

Sir Mo was just about the worst wrestler to ever grace WWE, an ovoid lackey ridiculously made to look small by his behemoth partner, possessing one tenth of his distance running namesake's charisma and only a five-hundredth the stamina. He wasn't even a good rapper.

Though the promotion just about managed to make a virtue of Mabel, with Mo it always remained a case of, "oomph! There he is..." Unsurprisingly, the moment the Lyin' King was let go, the company took the opportunity to jettison 300lbs of flotsam with him.

Back in Memphis, USWA managed to do something WWE couldn't: make Mo marginally relevant. Ditching his courtier's robes for the kufi cap, Mo was recast as 'Sir Mohammad', one of the members of the black supremacist group The Nation of Domination - the forerunner to WWE's own.

Now, it's not as though Mo became an overnight hit, raising the fist alongside such wrestling luminaries as Brakkus, PG-13 and Reggie B. Fine, but it was a damn sight better than his shapeless stint as Men on a Mission's least talented member.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
