Wrestling is on its fair share of seriously weird gimmick rip-offs and, um, tribute of the years.

Some have been more blatant than others, and a few were even rubber-stamped by WWE itself.

Stars are as big as Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Steve Austin, Rick Flair, Sting, and many, many more are all here, folks.

So let's jump right in.

I'm Gareth, this is What Culture Wrestling, and here are 20 wrestling gimmicks that got weird rip-offs.

Number 20, Hulk Hogan, Warrior, Randy Savage, and Rick Flair.

Macho Warrior Rick Hogan.

Today's indie circuit would be massive if a wrestler plotted along called tribal nightmare Roman

Sina.

Just saying?

Seriously though, there was once a freelancer called macho warrior Rick Hogan.

I kid you not.

Of course, he used macho man Randy Savage, the ultimate warrior, Rick Flair and Hulk Hogan. I kid you not. Of course, he used macho man Randy Savage, the Ultimate Warrior,

Rick Flair and Hulk Hogan in the one name. Rick showed up during the darkest days of the

USWA. And it's a wonder that nobody backstage pulled him aside and said, yeah, you might

want to rethink cosplaying four of the most famous WWF and WCW wrestlers ever,

less we get sued.

Undeterred, um, Hogan plowed ahead with his plans to be the first amalgamation of macho,

warrior, nature boy and hulkster.

It's bloody weird to see old footage of the dude cutting promos next to a smiling

Jerry Lawler down in Memphis. Apparently, nobody in that particular territory was too worried

about legal action. Dig it, little warriors, woo! Let me tell you something, brother.
