The best part of the Tribal Chief is it really isn't a gimmick change, it's a natural extension of his career. Using the crowd's perception of him to transform his heel turn is honestly perfect. I always feel like Acknowledge Me is a direct response to Royal Rumble 2015.
For the Usos, I actually really liked the face paint versions a lot. I was a kid during that time, but I just always liked it when they were on screen. One of my favorite tag teams from the Reality/PG era tag teams. Also, So Close Now is a superior theme song. The current one is hype, but I grew up with So Close Now and I’ve been listening to the song a lot recenty
Eater of Worlds/Bayou Cult Leader Bray Wyatt is the best and had the longer staying power if they were able to book him to just atleast win more. The Fiend is just way to hard to consistently book especially on the large stage, supernatural gimmick are in general but Fiend was like way too over the top and supernatural gimmicks like that just work better in the indies. A cult leader bringing in more people into the Wyatt family had the more potential for staying power especially if they did commit to adding more people into the fold. I also think Brock being a cowboy now is really funny because I watch TheGreatOne so much and he always made cowboy jokes a lot with Brock being at his ranch when he was just simply The Beast Incarnation Brock and using that as a reason why he never on TV. Now it’s come full circle and he’s embraced the memes
• Thugonomics Cena - HLR Cena had buried many talents (I still feel bad for The Nexus) • Bad A$$ ‘Taker - I find it more realistic. • Nightmare Cody - Only liked Stardust when he teamed with The Ascension. Dashing Cody’s boring. • Tribal Roman. Who likes Big Dog Roman? • I’ll pass on both Rock. Not a fan of wrestler Rock. I liked him better as an actor. • Firefly Fun House Wyatt is top tier. • Regular Finn. I only like Demon Finn to be an alter-ego same with Fiend Wyatt. • Ruthless Aggression Kane. • Gregory Helms. I prefer the serious version. • Woken / Broken Matt. This gimmick put Matt over. • Day 1-ish Usos. I liked Tribal Usos’ theme more though. • Judgment Day Dom. Love how he finally stepped out of his dad’s shadow and Is arguably one of the best heels in the business. • Physically, Ambrose. I prefer the gimmick. I prefer the physique. I prefer the hairstyle. • Cowboy Brock. Finally got to see his “human” side. • Heel Bayley. Hugger Bayley’s kinda forgettable. • Jamaican Kofi. The character. The entrance theme. The appearance. I prefer the New Day as individuals. • HOF Mark Henry.
Mankind is mick foleys best he was as violent as cactus but a better character on the mic plus his wwe title win switched the monday night war back to wwe.
No offense but that first choice made me laugh knowing how much hustle loyalty and respect was shoved down our throats imean it's the gimmick that gave john cena big popularity and the gimmick that caused the older male demographic to turn on him but I guess nostalgia beats everything.
@@antwoneallwood6352 yeah but I’m letting you know the fans that were buying cena merchandise and wanted cena to always win. Santi was one of those fans that’s why he likes the super cena
Honestly I kinda wish that Cena became heel again I have no problem with him being face but seeing him heel is something that i would absolutely love to see
One thing pre tribal chief roman had that maybe wasnt better, but more entertaining was fun matches, some of my favorite matches and segments were of his and braun. Plus his new matches are great but very slow and repetitive. I feel like mr rodgers bray needed an underling to fight for him because fiend matches were always misses
I might be the only one but I enjoyed Stardust at first and even when he turned on his brother. I think the gimmick overstayed its welcome but it was entertaining and especially the vignettes were great and he'd do media in dull gimmick and he was absolutely hysterical. If he'd reverted to just being Cody after a while it'd have been a fantastic character arc
I was at Raw when “Stardust” debut so that gimmick has a place in my heart. I don’t know why I like it, but the one thing I wish they did was only make it a short term thing like you said. The fact Cody had to resort to that gimmick for like 2 years is mind boggling since he was too talented for that silly gimmick. Theme song is also good and catchy.😂
@@Marzchaix I think he and Dustin should have had their match at that WrestleMania, which Goldust should've won and that would've made Cody drop the Stardust gimmick. That doesn't mean Cody would have to turn face though, he could be a heel and apparently he had pitched a storyline and even taped segments that never aired. I don't know if they're still on RUclips but I saw them years ago and the title was something like "and Rhodes Enterprises". He also cut a fantastic promo as Stardust but really as himself that was internet exclusive. Look up "Stardust cut the attitude out", it's really good.
A common thing people say is that Bray Wyatt is like the Undertaker. that he is this generation's Undertaker but something I feel is Bray was like Foley. They both had four gimmick similar. Cactus Jack/ Eater of Worlds, Dude Love/ Firefly fun house Bray, Fiend/ Mankind. They also both used maniable claw.
My picks: -Hustle Loyalty Respect Cena -The Deadman Undertaker -American Nightmare Cody Rhodes -The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns - The People's Champ the Rock from the 90s-early 2000s (rn in the present the FINAL BOSS ROCK is super amazing) - Eater of World's Bray Wyatt - Finn Bálor(yes I love the Demon and I wish he would bring it back for the Judgement Day) - Cactus Jack - The Demon Kane -The Hurricane -Woken/Broken Matt Hardy -90s Vince McMahon -Day 1ish Usos -heel Dominik Mysterio -Red and yellow Hulk Hogan(I do like Hollywood Hogan but the damn crowd always loves red and yellow Hulk Hogan) -Dean Ambrose (I love Jon Moxley I do but for me there's a soft spot for Dean Ambrose in my heart we all miss the guy in WWE) - Cowboy Brock Lesnar (but Beast Box Lesnar was pretty amazing) -The Hugger Bayley (but her work as a heel is pretty great and now she's a face and it is doing well) -New Day Kofi -Hall of Pain Mark Henry
Might be a hot take but I don’t like Moxley at all over Dean Ambrose. Constant blood, curses thirty times every sentence, hate his look (he looks homeless), and it’s just clear AEW just lets him do whatever he wants. As Ambrose, he had a good look and WWE kept his stupid ideas to a minimum. Hell, even his WIFE Renee says she doesn’t like how much he bleeds. That should tell you something.
Moxley bled throughout his early career in CZW and Dean was cool but Jon was always be better. Also Flair, Foley, Shawn, Taker and Goldberg and even more wrestlers would even use blades to bleed. So why would it be any diffrent?????????.
@@awildslapnutsappears9536 If you think WWE/WCW guys bleeding in certain matches is the same as bleeding in EVERY match, I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t care about HOW he bleeds, it’s how often he does it. It becomes meaningless, it should saved for special occassion. This is why it’s such a big deal in WWE, because they rarely do it
You should have a 3rd for Lesnar. A 'bounce around in the ring, never on the microphone, Heyman still his spokesman/manager.' THAT Brock needed to be included.
I will get a lot of heat for this, but Stardust was a better gimmick than current American Nightmare. It was whacky, unexpected and fun above all. I'm happy for Cody that he is now doing what he wants, but it's the most vanilla wrestler on screen.
I pick the Undertaker over the American Badass easily, but I do have to thank the AB for one thing and that is for bringing in what I consider to be one of the coolest finishers, that being the Last Ride. If I was ever to have become a wrestler that or something similar to that is what one of my finishers would have been.
I liked Stardust, to be honest. The theme was fire and Cody played the gimmick well. It was entertaining. But I understand why Cody hates it and I know it’s never coming back.
Swamp guy is actually eater of worlds gimmick. The fiend had big potential but the fiend was a copycat not one thing was original which if ur pushing him as the modern undertaker u need to
With reigns there are 3 versions of him, one is the shield babyface version who fans favored more than his 2nd version the face of wwe before he was ready, and it screwed him just like cena. Now his final form the tribal chief roman reigs who became an amazing proving his true fans right, so lets takeawy the 2nd version. Now u have the shield who still hold that torch, fans fell in love with the group. They are a pg era group who got on a level we saw in the ruthless aggression era and attitude era faction for growth of the character his tribal chief takes the win, as a unit bloodline or shield? Shield takes the win
So when does Michael Rotunda start taking blame for his failure? As far as the fiend is concerned, I wholely blame Randy Orton for that one. I don't think that he likes Bray and mean the real life guy behind the character. He relished ruining the Fiend. My biggest problem with Bray is that there is not ever any pay off from getting behind him. He's great at building up the hype but then, you go to the concert and the show sucks! WHAT'S UP WIT THAT?!!
For Cody Rhodes, I think that the American Nightmare gimmick is the best. Stardust was meh and just for show, and the Dashing gimmick was okay but was nowhere near main event material(it was fine for a cowardly mid card heel)
Dr of Thuganomics Midwestern Mortician Dashing Cody Rhodes Tribal Chief Hollywood Rock Swamp cult leader Wyatt Demon King, I guess... but I'd say Judgement Day Finn Dude Love Original Kane Hurricane Broken Matt in TNA 90s Vince Loved the Usos anytime, but Day One Dirty Dom by far Red & yellow... especially in 80s into early 90s Mox Next big thing... but I guess Cowboy Role Model Jafaican Kofi Hall of Pain
The best part of the Tribal Chief is it really isn't a gimmick change, it's a natural extension of his career. Using the crowd's perception of him to transform his heel turn is honestly perfect. I always feel like Acknowledge Me is a direct response to Royal Rumble 2015.
he also used the phrase “head of the table” in a promo after he went solo in late 2014
If only they had done it 5 years earlier when literally everyone was calling for it
Cope
2:26 I’ve ALWAYS loved the “You’re Gonna Pay” theme music!
Same
Stardust honestly had a good theme
The only good thing of stardust
thats about it....thats all he had that was good
The theme belonged in a super smash game
Now that I think about it Cody Rhodes always had a good theme song
I would love to hear that theme again
You should make a separate video about Corbin's gimmicks as well
Would be too long
Just call that version of bray the eater of worlds
Stardust might've been the biggest "What the fuck is the point of this" gimmick change ever
Stardust should have main evented Summer Slam for the WWE title back in the day.
No
Being honest as a true Cody fan stardust was not a main event persona at all, mid card tag titles is what was acceptable
For the Usos, I actually really liked the face paint versions a lot. I was a kid during that time, but I just always liked it when they were on screen. One of my favorite tag teams from the Reality/PG era tag teams. Also, So Close Now is a superior theme song.

That gimmick was also supposed to be a role model for the children seen as he was the company’s poster boy

I'm going big dog
Theme: big dog

Promo:chief
Bossy:cheif
Funny: big dog
Winner big dog
Theme goes to chief in my opinion
bigdog thief is just the shield theme bruh
Honestly I kinda wish that Cena became heel again I have no problem with him being face but seeing him heel is something that i would absolutely love to see
I love how Cena thought of the type of person he would hate and came up with the wigger gimmick and then it got over 😂😂
Santi are you streaming your summerslam reaction?
the cody we have now is the best one

Yeah Roman as a good guy was pretty funny and not always serious
The face paint and haka are really common in Samoa and aren’t fucking cartoonish
Summer slam is tonight baby
He may be our tribal chief but he'll always be my top dog
Say all you want about stardust but you can’t deny his theme was a certified banger 🔥
To finish ur question Mr. “get outta her” HOP Mark Henry clears for sure 😂
I might be the only one but I enjoyed Stardust at first and even when he turned on his brother.

My picks:

Chosen one 2009-2012 Or The Scottish Warrior/Psychopath 2018-Present Drew Mcintyre
Stardust and golddust could of had a big push with the tag tittles would of loved too see them fight the Usos.
Stardust was terrible
Cody interpreted perfectly stardust
But That gimmick sucks
@pleaseshutup7053 his best gimmick that's the only thing he's known for
@@DaNxYsmells007 wtf dude
@@LKS69 oh right he was better when he was Randy's little bitch lol
In my opinion Cody with the mask/dashing cody is his best gimmick. Should have won the world title with that gimmick
On undertaker “as opposed to this fictional character” they are all fictional characters, every single one of them
Pretty upset Kurt Angle vs Perc Angle wasn’t on here
You have to make a part 2 like wheres legend killer Orton vs viper Orton vs bald head menace orton
Hollywod Rock is a heel who can shut the Crowd.
Old old Cody had good theme tune
Santi: “idk why red and yellow hulk hogan does it for me”
Also Santi: loves super Cena
Locked in for SummerSlam stream
Jeez you picked ecw vince over mr mcmahon who's feud with stone cold made wrestling history as probably the best era of wwe
Swamp Bray Wyatt is actually the Eater of Worlds Bray Wyatt
YEAH!!!
and the tribal chiefs become a meme at this point, thats how good he is X3
Everyone sleeps on corporate Kane
no way you called him swamp bray wyatt🤣

Ask ric flair if he's bled too much
Moxley is superior on every damn point

Swamp Bray Wyatt was special.
Do wrestlers who never need heel and wrestlers who never been face
The only new thing about Roman’s attire is just the vest
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF HE IS DOING A LIVE STREAM TONIGHT FOR SUMMER SLAM HERE ON YT
Yeah he is
Yessssss
The best Matt hardy is V1
U didn't post the drunk dancing video on tiktok
I will get a lot of heat for this, but Stardust was a better gimmick than current American Nightmare. It was whacky, unexpected and fun above all. I'm happy for Cody that he is now doing what he wants, but it's the most vanilla wrestler on screen.
I liked the Fiend, just I don't think the fiend needed a title.
The lunatic of the shield
wyatt family bray wyatt was so much better than his other gimmicks imo
Honestly, I feel like a face Roman Reigns can work if they let him be unscripted and let him play himself Joe Anoa'i
the fiends theme is so good probaly the best one imo
This whole video could just be Kane or Kevin nash
Should of done broken matt vs matt Hardy v1
You can like a gimmick more while also knowing it isn’t better. The deadman undertaker is definitely better than the American badass undertaker
I pick the Undertaker over the American Badass easily, but I do have to thank the AB for one thing and that is for bringing in what I consider to be one of the coolest finishers, that being the Last Ride. If I was ever to have become a wrestler that or something similar to that is what one of my finishers would have been.
I think if they had Stardust on Raw and Cody on SD or other way around it could’ve worked
Dean Ambrose was just too funny he was better. He was also angry too
I liked Stardust, to be honest. The theme was fire and Cody played the gimmick well. It was entertaining. But I understand why Cody hates it and I know it’s never coming back.
Rip bray

Eater of worlds bray wyatt is way better then every bray wyatt gimmick
