TOTAL CHANGE | 180° Gimmick Refreshes!
It’s not uncommon for a wrestler to change their character up from time to time. But usually, this refresh involves making only a few relatively small changes, such as a performer simply turning heel or perhaps a slight change in their look. However, other times wrestlers will go through far more dramatic shifts in character, one which sees them take a full 180 degree turn from what they were doing before. But what are the biggest examples of wrestlers making such a drastic change of character? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to be looking at today.

WCW/WWE Cruiserweight Division: Where Are They Now?

@shawnmichaels568 11 дней назад

The thing is, Jericho didn't just had many gimmicks but also each of his character felt completely different from the other. Normally, You would see some wrestlers get a new gimmick but with a few minor changes: like turning face/heel or changing looks. But with Jericho, He can make a comeback & feel like a whole different person. You gotta admire it.

Feel there needs to be a correction on Bob Holly. He didn't go directly from Sparky Plug to Hardcore, he was Bombastic Bob of the New Midnight Express in-between. In fact it was being put up against his tag partner Bart Gunn in the Brawl for All and the subsequent hardcore match that kicked started the hardcore gimmick. But he was also a member of the JOB Squad before he fully became Hardcore Holly

@LibraJohnny 11 дней назад

@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf 10 дней назад

I'm sure Val would've been happy to tell us at the time, but I question how much longer The Big Valbowski could've kept going. Venis never had much character depth and wouldn't have been a main eventer, then again the RTC turn didn't push him up the card any but it did make a change that kept him employed for a few more years at least long enough to become Chief Morely under Eric Bischoff, while OG Val probably would've been gone before Bischoff arrived.

Bayley slashing the Bayley Buddies to death is still the most memorable part of her main roster run. Sad but true, if booked properly at the start she could still be a top women's division face today. She could be the Cody Rhodes to Becky Lynch's Roman Reigns, but I guess WWE has Bianca to fill that role now. However, to her credit, she did get to win the Royal Rumble this year and have the 2nd or 3rd best match at Wrestlemania XL.

@metalwolf4186 11 дней назад

"Spark Plug" Bob Holly did win one--the WWF Tag Team titles with 1-2-3 Kid. They beat Bam Bam & Tatanka in a Tournament Finals, because Diesel & HBK split up and vacated the belts right before Diesel beat Backlund to become WWF Champ.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley I thought was a Kool Character. I believe it was Warrior that kill the character by not selling "The Pedigree" at WrestleMania XII. The God Father was Awesome and it wasn't because of his 304's he walk down the asle with. It wasn't because he was a Pimp. The Godfather was Fire because he was Pimping and had his 304's around the ring. Win or Lose the 304's stayed. #LoyaltyToTheGame ps: Finn Baylor "Demon" was Sic he should've stuck with that.

At the time Hardcore Holly was released by WWE in 2008, of the then entire roster, only Triple H and The Undertaker were in WWE longer than he was. That says alot about how good he was. He was always known as consumate professional both in and out of the ring and someone on whom WWE could totally rely on whenever they needed him.

@SpiralPoliFemboy 11 дней назад

Hardcore Holly was such an incredible wrestler. It's a shame he started off with such a lousy gimmick. He was allowed to be himself and became one of the best workhorse veterans. A stiff brawler who had great technical ability as well. One of the most misunderstood people in the business. Everyone I've talked to that worked with him said the same thing. He'll chop the shit out of you but that's because he wants you to give it back. He wants the fans to have an intense show and get their money's worth. And outside the ring he's a chill, sweet guy with a good sense of humor. Holly is like the American version of a Toshiaki Kawada. Stiff and no nonsense, but despite that he's cool irl.

Hardcore bleaching his hair blonde different exactly do wonders for his career but kinda did. His image is so much better when he cut his hair and dyed it. I never liked or took Bailey seriously until she went full blown heel. The whole “hugging” gimmick was cringe! I stereotyped Alexa as another blonde bombshell type superstar and that’s exactly what her gimmick was until the fiend abducted her and made her into something cool, enchanting and believable. I can’t wait for her to return. No matter what she will always be synonymous with the fiend.
