I still think that Kona Reeves’ knock off Rainmaker gimmick, aka THE FINEST, on NXT circa 2018 was great. I particularly enjoyed how he barely ever won, but when he did he’d show off his winnings through cheap but flashy jewelry, clothes, etc
A gimmick I don't see talked about much is Norman Smiley's run as WCW Hardcore champion. As a kid, seeing him come out in football pads and a helmet always made me laugh.
I'm a lapsed fan so maybe he was loved by the IWC. Still, I don't see his name mentioned much these days and I think that's a shame. He deserves more recognition for his comedy chops.
[Smiley] then feuded with Chavo Guerrero Jr., on one occasion destroying Guerrero’s hobby horse mascot, Pepè, by feeding it into a wood chipper on the January 11, 1999, episode of Nitro.
This could possibly be the best single sentence on wrestling wiki ever.
