Think we all have watched wrestling if we write for this hobby.
Curious, who is your favorite gimmicked wrestler and why?
Mankind is my favorite. I have been a huge fan of Mick Foley since he was Cactus Jack. Mankind though was out there, and brought out something in every one he wrestled. The three faces of Foley was a great pivot for Mick to wind down his career. I considered Mankind to be Undertaker's greatest challenge, as neither man seemed to one to go down, and always loved the Mankind vs Deadman, man vs evil concept.
Anyways, enough rambling. Who you got?

There's so many choices, lol. I was really impressed by the Right To Censor gimmick. It's probably the only thing I ever liked from Steven Richards and it gave Godfather and Val Venis something new to do. I wish they'd never stopped it

The Right to Censored was perfect at that time too. So many guys were stuck in gimmick traps, and needed a fresh look. I always saw Right to Censor going the way of NWO, where there would be two ways of Censoring - and they had a survivor series match for the rights to censor trademarks/rights.
My least favorite was Perry Saturn and Moppie. That was a low point in watching him on television. Always saw Saturn and Rick Steiner as a potential tag team, the styles would have been great together.

I always loved Big Van Vader, especially with the helmet.
Also I was a fan of Cactus Jack starting waaaay back when he was feuding with Sting in '92, even though my stupid parents wouldn't take me to Bash at the Beach in Mobile to see that Falls Count Anywhere match...
Stupid bastard sum'bitches.
Also, The Million Dollar Man, because duh.

Evil Doink had legs when it first started.
Rick Rude was the best at his gimmick I would say.
Mr. Perfect was cool. I believed he was the best athlete in the world as a kid.
Al Snow’s Head Gimmick as well.

How about DX when the did their crotch chop. Loved Million Dollar Man's gimmick too. The Road Warriors were definitely great. Jesse Ventura was also fun.

Oh man, Ventura did Billy Graham's gimmick better than he did. Ventura/Hogan could have lasted a decade if they wanted it to

The majority of CHIKARA. The Colony, Los Ice Creams, Super Smash Brothers, Darkness Crabtree, FIST, The Osirian Portal, BDK, etc. I could go on and on and on and on.

Well, obvz, all members of Sweet 'n Sour Inc. are obviously excluded from my hatred.
Especially the Golden Palomino himself.

I always loved the Brood; the entrance, the blood baths, all of it was just really kick ass.
