4 WWE gimmicks from 2005 that you had forgotten about (but were very good)

#2 The World's Largest Love Machine - Viscera

AMPLE LOVE: Viscera

Viscera went through many gimmicks over the years, with Mabel and the black PVC jacket-wearing version probably the most famous.

But 2005 saw a randomly abrupt gimmick change, starting with Big Visc spending a little too much time with the-then WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus. It was this storyline, where he was used as her lackey to fight her battles with Kane and Lita, that Viscera realised how much he loved women.

And Lilian Garcia was his first and greatest desire. It was the most random storyline I can remember taking place at that time, and it almost ended with (another) wedding, when Lilian proposed to the big man. But thanks to an intervention by a returning Godfather, Viscera decided to get onto the Hoe Train.

He would make the crowd cheer, and laugh awkwardly when he would...erm...mount his opponent and proceed to do something inappropriate in a non-PG manner to them.

While the gimmick didn't have much of a payoff, it served a purpose and should be looked at with fondness.
