5 Dark Gimmicks WWE Gave Up on 

#2 Sean O'Haire - The Devil's Advocate

He didn't tell you anything you didn't already know

Sean O'Haire was a very talented performer, he could have succeeded if given the right push, no matter what the gimmick.

O'Haire debuted for WCW in 2000 where he was a 3-time WCW Tag Team Champion and had been pegged backstage by many as a future superstar. He was picked up by WWE when they bought WCW in 2001 and made his debut on WWE TV shortly thereafter in his WCW tag team with Chuck Palumbo. He was removed from TV after just a few weeks in order to take in more training in developmental.

We wouldn't see O'Haire again until early 2003, when vignettes began airing on WWE SmackDown for the re-debuting O'Haire under a new gimmick, a 'Devil's Advocate'. During a month of very interesting vignettes, O'Haire urged viewers to commit adultery, break the law, not pay taxes, and not go to church, among other things, and would end each one by saying ''I'm not telling you anything you don't already know''.

After making it to television, O'Haire convinced Brian Kendrick to streak in an arena, and Dawn Marie to flash the audience. He was also shown to have a calming effect over Bill Demott, after he attacked Kendrick. The gimmick was suddenly dropped out of nowhere with no explanation, and O'Haire was removed from TV for a month, until he returned wearing a long black leather trench coat and sporting new tattoos, appearing to be 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper's new protege.

He was released in 2004, wrestled and became an MMA fighter until 2006 when he retired, and sadly died via suicide in 2014.
