Wrestling fans get bored of the same old shtick or stuff that's just not working in no time at all.

When it came to each and every one of the talented folks on this list, though,

they thankfully realised it was time for a change before it was too late.

So I'm Gareth, this is What Culture Wrestling, and here are 11 genius tweaks that made lame wrestling gimmicks great.

Number 11, a tweak from badass hero to badass villain for Rhonda Rousey. It honestly cannot be understated just how compelling

Ronda Rousey's first WWWRUN really was from start to finish. Before she was being royally

botched and fumbled in the time post Royal Rumble 2022 comeback, Ronnie enjoyed

an electric start to life as a pro wrestler, producing magic alongside Triple H, Stephanie

McMahon and Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 34. She'd then embark on a superb few months as an

unstoppable babyface in the company, dominating all who stood in her way as the MMA badass eventually got her hands on raw

women's championship gold.

It didn't matter that she wasn't the strongest on the mic.

Rousey's unpredictable and often explosive work on it still made for captivating television.

You just never knew what she was going to do next.

And when the fans did inevitably decide they'd had enough of the predictably dominant baddest woman on the planet routine after her Survivor Series battle with Charlotte

Flair, all of the above was eventually seamlessly used for a pissed-off badass role instead. Rousey's

unpredictable eruptions on the stick worked a treat as the out-of-control badass champion. And

the same could be said for her equally

mesmerizing beatdowns. Changing very little about her overall character, Rhonda went from

fiery hero to chaotic villain by finally rejecting the fans who had turned on her. They created

a monster, damn it. Number 10, heel Jack Perry becomes a scapegoat. The Jack Perry heel character

was not working in 2023, was it?
