5 WWE gimmicks that were quickly abandoned

#3 WWE "kizills" Kizarny's run after two matches

The carnivals came to WWE in 2009

Remember Kizarny? WWE RAW Superstar MVP probably does, as he gave Kizarny his one and only win in WWE.

In late 2008, SmackDown began airing vignettes of a carny worker who "spoke in carny talk." According to the man himself, this gimmick was what would happen if Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Doink the Clown had a love child. Much like the Duck Tales theme song, it's stuck in your head forever now. Enjoy the nightmares.

After months of teasing, the crazed carnival competitor, Kizarny debuted on January 2, 2009, against Montel Vontavious Porter. MVP dominated Kizarny throughout most of the match. Unfortunately for MVP, he was in the middle of a 23-match losing streak. That's right, 23 matches, and Kizarny wasn't going to be the one to let the former WWE US Champion break it. After a rolling double-armed DDT Kizarny dubbed the 'Tallulah Belle,' he knocked off MVP in his debut match.

A month later, he'd compete in an Elimination Chamber battle royal, where he was quickly eliminated. Soon after that, the carnival left the town. Kizarny appeared in a few backstage segments, including one with WWE Hall of Famer Edge and Vickie Guerrerro, before he was released in March.

Fun fact: Kizarny is a childhood best friend of Edge and AEW's Christian Cage. Edge was even part of Kizarny's marriage to another household WWE name, The Kat. The two married in 2010 before divorcing in 2013.
