WWE's creative team has come up with some embarrassing gimmicks over the past few years
#9 Luke Gallows - Festus

Luke Gallows would rather forget his time portraying Festus
Luke Gallows is now a former Tag Team Champion in WWE and has proved his ability in the ring all over the world. Despite this, it seems that the former Bullet Club member has some less than impressive memories of his first stint in WWE.

Gallows debuted on WWE TV as the imposter Kane, but after that idea was scrapped, he returned to our screens as Festus in 2007. Festus was a handicapped hillbilly who couldn't stop himself from wreaking havoc when the bell rang but was absolutely useless before it.

Whilst this character was a mild success for Gallows, it didn't paint him in a great light and wasn't a great stepping stone in his career either. When Gallows returned to WWE in 2016, Vince McMahon didn't even know it was him who played Festus almost a decade before.
