WWE: 10 Great Wrestlers Held Back By Terrible Gimmicks

6. Isaac Yankem

Kane is one of the greatest characters the WWE has ever produced, and has gifted Glenn Jacobs a great career and several impressive accolades. That said, life wasn't always so rosy for the man behind the mask. Jacobs would have to grit his teeth and work his way through some awful gimmicks before eventually landing the role of The Big Red Monster. He debuted in the WWE as Jerry Lawler€™s dentist... Yep, not only can Jacobs boast about holding a variety of championships but he can also take the credit for Lawler€™s pearly whites. Though it€™s hard to tell why The King paid for Dr. Isaac Yankem€™s services, as he was both crazy and had the worst teeth ever seen on a dentist. After initially being thrown in the middle of a feud between Lawler and Bret Hart, Yankem soon turned into a jobber before disappearing from the show. What did they expect; he was a wrestling dental surgeon. Jacobs abruptly cut short a radio interview earlier this year when the DJ opened with the question €˜is it Kane or are we talking to Isaac Yankem?€™. The dentist clearly remains a sore spot for the man we all know and love as Kane.
