What are gimmicks that you guys were fans of that people like the Meltzers and other experts(and even the mass wrestling audience) might tell you are cheesy or “bad”, but you’re a fan of? There were a plethora of these gimmicks throughout the 80s and 90s(the good old days).
Some of mine are...
Glacier
Outback Jack
Akeem
Face Doink
IRS
Country star Double J Jeff Jarrett
Big Bully Busick

Not my favorite, but 3 Count always comes to mind when fans think of bad gimmicks that are actually good. What type of music do wrestling fans hate the most? Teenybopper crap. The same can be said for Fandango as well. That gimmick was supposed to be poking fun at Dancing with the Stars (which aired opposite Raw for many seasons) and wrestling fans generally dont like ballroom dancing.

The Boogeyman
- Somewhat scared me as a kid, but i loved it.
Pirate Paul Burchill
- Who doesn't love a Pirate.
Adam Rose (Not Classic, but i'll count it)
- I don't get all the hate for it. I love the gimmick. It's nowhere near as a good as Leo Kruger, but it was a cool idea that could have gone somewhere had he stayed in NXT a little longer with it.
