WWE: 20 Awful Gimmicks That Were Quickly Dropped

5. Kerwin White

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsfztADiH9M "If it's not white, it's not right." That was the gimmick of Chavo Guerrero in WWE in late 2005. It's not like they tried to hide that he was Chavo. They didn't put him on a mask or anything like that. He just became a guy that dressed like a golfer. He even entered the ring in a golf cart and wore terrible characters. I'm not sure what the genesis of this character was. Perhaps Vince McMahon or smoebody in WWE felt the need to create a character based on the rich snobs that frequent golf courses regularly. It didn't seem like a great character, but Chavo did his best to pull it off. As the gimmick continued to evolve, he had a caddy by his side. Who was that caddy? The man you know as Dolph Ziggler today. The gimmick ended because when his uncle Eddie Guerrero died in November of 2005, they decided to bring back Chavo as himself and put an end to the silly Kerwin White character. Even if Eddie didn't pass away, it's unlikely that Kerwin White would have lasted much longer.
