10 Current WWE Stars Once Saddled With Terrible Gimmicks
These are 10 WWE stars who were given awful gimmicks
6. Baron Corbin
A multi-talented performer who has been given a new lease on life thanks to NXT is Baron Corbin, whose tag title-winning team with Bron Breakker brought out the Lone Wolf in him once more.
Prior to re-emerging in NXT, Corbin had endured a series of gimmicks that were memorable, if not necessarily any good.
First there was ‘Constable’ Corbin, the ubiquitous Raw authority figure who wrestled in dress pants, shirt and waistcoat and went on to retire Kurt Angle.
A switch to SmackDown meant a change in gimmick and the constable became King, feuding with Roman Reigns in a rivalry that saw both men doused in dog food.
The only way after that was up for ‘Happy’ Corbin, who turned his fortunes around after being declared broke and wound up being managed by JBL.
Yes, it’s been a busy five or so years for Baron Corbin, whose character certainly had a well-defined arc, but this succession of iffy gimmicks definitely contributed to the feeling that he needed a change of scenery for a fresh start.
