Since there’s no Collision tonight to entertain everyone, let’s get weird.

Think deep folks. We’ve all watched a lotta wrestling over the years. What is/are the stupidest goddamned gimmick(s) you’ve ever seen that made you wonder how it got greenlit? Racist? Idiotic? Poorly timed? Name em!

(And let’s strike out The Gobbledy Gooker and The Shockmaster as honourable mentions).

    I know pro wrestling started off carny af but I still find it funny that the 80s-90s settled on 'What would happen if a garbage man, a repossession agent, a dentist, a nuclear test accident and a barber on coke fought?"


    (Not that it isn’t carny af now, you know what I meant lol)

      I still occasionally threaten to repossess the careers of my friends and coworkers.

      Let’s keep that secret between us, though.

      And all y’all reading this better keep it secret too!

      Or I’ll repossess your career.

        Jokes on you, if I had a ‘career’ to repossess I wouldn’t be posting here as much as I do rofl
