10 Current WWE Stars Once Saddled With Terrible Gimmicks
These are 10 WWE stars who were given awful gimmicks
2. Luke Gallows
Drew Hankinson may have always looked like a grizzled veteran, but the man was actually only 22 years old when he made his main roster WWE debut as the fake Kane back in 2006.
That gimmick was short-lived, but Hankinson came back a little over a year later as Festus, the slack-jawed tag team partner of his ‘handler’ Jesse.
Seemingly comatose 99% of the time, Festus would spring into life as soon as the bell rang, transforming into a rampaging, almost unstoppable giant who was focused only on taking down his opponents and winning matches.
Hell, the first time he lost a match was when he passed out to The Undertaker’s Hell’s Gate. Despite this, it wasn’t like WWE had any major plans for a character that was decidedly one-note.
Hankinson eventually dropped the Festus persona and was repackaged as Luke Gallows, a member of the Straight-Edge Society that had been ‘cured’ by group leader CM Punk.
The Good Brother has since made a career out of playing the menacing muscle in tag teams and stables. Big shout out to Sex Ferguson too, who we’re sure can be found somewhere getting his jizz wizz on.
