10 Current WWE Stars Once Saddled With Terrible Gimmicks
These are 10 WWE stars who were given awful gimmicks
8. Chad Gable
A former Olympian who can have a tremendous match with anyone, Chad Gable really does feel like the second coming of Kurt Angle, at least when it comes to his exploits between the ropes.
Gable can entertain and create emotion with his performance from bell to bell and is currently one of the very best in-ring performers on a roster that is certainly not lacking in that department.
At some point, however, someone must have thought Chad was lacking a bit of flavour and decided to give him an image change.
During a feud with Baron Corbin, the five-foot-eight Gable was re-christened Shorty Gable (which then became Shorty G), ditching the amateur singlets for a garish combination of basketball-style shorts, vest and sleeves.
You’d assume the merciless bullying about his supposedly hilarious lack of height would lead to…something, anything, productive, but it really didn’t and (after predictably fading from television) he denounced the gimmick on-air and returned to his previous guise.
