For every stone cold, great one and heartbreak kid, there's unfortunately another seemingly

mouthwatering character brimming with potential that find itself being depressingly ran straight

into the ground.

From sinister puppet masters to clinical mercenaries, these particularly absorbing gimmicks offer

a straitingly stumbled when they get a sword.

I'm Gareth from Whatculture Wrestling and here are 10 totally wasted wrestling gimmicks.

CJ Parker Hippie CJ Parker is an example of a star with all

the potential in the world, but he just never really clicked whilst navigating his way through

Chipel H's developmental brainchild.

After being jobbed out during his early days in NXT, Parker returned with a new hippie

gimmick, fluidly dancing his way to the ring and declaring that he just wanted to do

the change this world.

The palm was originally for this new stick to catapult Parker into being a fun favourite.

However, as is often the case in the world of pro wrestling, the NXT faithful were having

none of it, and he soon transitioned into a deluded heel who turned on those in attendance.

Despite this act clearly having some legs and Parker, known his way around a ring, he ultimately

found himself becoming fodder for whichever new face trips in the gang wanted to get behind

next.

Finally, he'd land on his feet upon exiting WWE in 2015, reverting back to his juice

Robinson gimmick and forging a successful career in New Japan pro wrestling.
