WWE: 20 Awful Gimmicks That Were Quickly Dropped

19. Kizarny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9JKk3ksjh4 The Kizarny character didn't last too long. There were vignettes that started airing in late 2008 with Kizarny looking like a guy that lived in carnivals and was a unique character that spoke in his own unique kind of language. They aired a lot of video packages for Kizarny before he debuted in the ring, so there was a lot of hype for him. We really didn't know what to expect from the guy. There was a match against MVP on Smackdown in early 2009, but there were not many other matches for him. A couple of months after that, he was released from WWE. My guess is that Vince McMahon didn't really get the character or get behind it and that probably doomed it from the beginning. He's had some success as the Sinn Bodhi character elsewhere, but Kizarny was a bad idea from the start.
