Best Crazy/Insane Gimmick

  1. The Wolfman (Vilmos ‘Willie’ Farkas), WWWF , 1970s
  2. George “The Animal” Steele, WWF, 1970s - 1980s
  3. The Ultimate Warrior, 1956-2014
  4. Bron Breakker, 2024-present
  5. Paul London, leader of The Rabbit Tribe, Lucha Underground, 2016

He portrayed a psychedelic Mad Hatter type and partnered with Mala Suerte and Saltador to become a living LSD trip. They’d do a spinning rabbit hole dance around a fallen foe like an Escher print come to life.

  7. Darby Allin, indies/AEW, 2016-present

Darby’s character is basically an amped-up version of who he is in real life - a thrillseeker who feels half-dead on the inside and needs the sensation of mortal danger in order to truly feel alive. Small wonder he wants to climb Mt. Everest.

  8. Broken Matt Hardy, Impact Wrestling, 2016

He invented a whole new patois, making “Delete” a buzzword and channeling a mad wizard. He and Brother Nero teleported to various and sundry Indie promotions to win their tag belts. The Delete or Decay event, taking place at the Hardy compound, was a camp classic. They used waters from The Lake of Reincarnation to twist each wrestler’s past aliases into metaphysical pretzels. Sadly, Hardy couldn’t properly recreate the madness in WWE or AEW, but Broken Matt definitely reigns as the King of Crazy.

  10. “The Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman, WCW. ECW, WWF Mid 90s

Brian Pillman pioneered the idea of a “worked shoot”—acting like you weree “breaking kayfabe” when in reality you were still just “working the marks.” Another words, pretending what you were doing was “real” when it actually still part of the show.

Looks right to me. 2,132 days is just a few isn’t it?

159

I can agree with that. Plus let’s not forget the billion and a half people they managed to cram into the Pontiac Silverdome.
