Shaz and Johnny Mortos dive into some of the worst wrestling gimmicks ever created — from every era of WWE, WCW, TNA, and beyond.


From job-based disasters like TL Hopper and The Goon, to over-the-top failures like Oz, , the lads explore why these ideas ever made it to TV. Why did wrestling rely so much on cartoonish characters? Who came up with these gimmicks, and did any actually work?


It’s a fun, look at the good, the bad, and the downright ridiculous side of pro wrestling’s creative history.
