In the wide world of pro wrestling, certain gimmicks never truly go out of style. There have been a million cocky, vain heels, while that gimmick's close cousin, the cowardly champion, is just as timeless. The cheating manager has come back into vogue thanks to Maryse, while the remorseless giant is probably as old as the business itself.
On the other side of things, "white meat" babyfaces, or good guys who are just squeaky clean, are eternal. Even relatively new gimmicks like the anti-hero tweener or the fan-favorite heel have roots in earlier characters.
Every wrestler at some point has portrayed a version of one of these archetypes. In fact, all the best wrestlers have a closet full of discarded gimmicks. Some of these gimmicks were standards that just fell flat. Others were such obviously bad ideas that it's a wonder that they were ever given the green light in the first place. At the very least, these former gimmicks make for good reading (I hope) and an even better quiz.
