10 Awful WWE Gimmicks That Only Lasted One Night

4. The Jynx Brothers

If you were one of the lucky people to catch the October 6, 1996, episode of WWE Superstars, boy were you treated to a smorgasbord of complete and utter rubbish. 

Zip! Salvatore Sincere! Leif Cassidy! Aldo Montoya! The Fake Diesel! 

While all those characters lingered like a bad smell, one particular gimmick from this episode was over and done that very night. 

Losing a short match to the Grimm Twins (Ron and Don Harris with another winner of a team name), the Jynx Brothers – that’s Ignus and Waldo, FYI – were masked little devils with neon-coloured hair. 

Under the hoods, they were longtime WWE jobbers Matt and Jeff Hardy. 

Unfortunately, it didn’t work and the Jynx Brothers were restricted to a single showing. Matt and Jeff went back to paying dues under their real names, but superstardom was right around the corner.
