Epic Carnival: The 15 worst gimmicks in the history of pro wrestling

The 15 worst gimmicks in the history of pro wrestling

My personal favorite "bad gimmick" was when Kevin Sullivan went out to the ocean and conjured a demon from hell (The Purple Haze) to be his partner in a tag team match against the mighty Road Warriors. Never mind that the Haze looked exactly like Sullivan's MIA partner, Maniac Marc Lewin, and later turned out to have a thick New York accent. That's not the good part. What was best about it is that they actually filmed the Haze rising out of the sea from the depths of hell (see the ritual below), so we were supposed to believe that Sullivan really was partnered with a supernatural power, the very spawn of Satan himself ...

And he still lost.

Just goes to show you Satan isn't what he used to be.
