10 Forgotten WWE gimmicks from the 90s

#2 Mantaur

Mantaur

Another gimmick that was destined to fail was Mantaur. Half-man half-bull, Mantaur came down to the ring with a headpiece that made him look like the mythical minotaur. His skills inside the ring weren’t really up to the mark though, and coupled with the outlandish gimmick, Mantaur didn’t last very long.

WWE tried to push him by pairing him up with legendary manager Jim Cornette at this point but that didn’t help either. Mantaur’s last WWE appearance came as a lumberjack at In Your House 2 in 1995.

#1 Damien Demento

Damien Demento

We finish off our list with one of the men who main-evented the first ever episode of Monday Night RAW - Damien Demento. Demento faced The Undertaker to close enough the first episode of RAW. Unlike the legendary "Deadman", Demento's short WWE career has largely been forgotten.

Debuting in 1992, Demento's only PPV appearance in WWE came days after his match against The Undertaker at the 1993 Royal Rumble match. He wrestled in the Fed until October 1993 before being released.
