7 cancelled gimmicks for WWE Superstars

We
We hardly knew you

#5 Kerwin White

He'
He's here!

He's just an average white guy with an incredible heritage in Mexican pro wrestling.

In June 2005, Chavo Guerrero was traded to Raw during the draft. The next week he surprised us all when he denounced his Hispanic heritage. He said he wanted to do things the "Anglo-American way" and developed a real liking for golf.

This surprise announcement led the Mexicools to come down and cause some trouble for Chavo. He soon adopted the name Kerwin White and dyed his hair blonde. He would drive to the ring in a golf cart and portrayed the character of a middle-class, white conservative.

White would make references to minorities in a negative way and things got very awkward for a bit. Shelton Benjamin didn't appreciate those remarks either when directed in his vicinity.

Kerwin White cost Shelton Benjamin a match against Rob Conway and the next week Benjamin won a match against White via disqualification when Kerwin used a golf club against him.

White hired Dolph Ziggler as his caddy to follow him around and help him when needed. However, White still lost a match against Shelton Benjamin at Unforgiven 2005.

This controversial gimmick didn't have much of a chance to go any further because soon afterwards Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room and Kerwin White was no more. WWE decided it was best to have Chavo to reclaim his Hispanic heritage and carry on like nothing ever happened.
