Worst Gimmick: The Shining Stars
Trending
Runners-Up: Gallows & Anderson, Darren Young, Titus O’Neil, The League Of Nations
Vince just cannot shake his old habits, can he? It’s bad enough he’s stuck in the 1980s in terms of picking and choosing stars and how he views his product. It’s made worse by him still thinking that, in 2016, the whole ‘careers-as-wrestlers’ gimmick still has legs. Nothing could be further from the truth, and the Shining Stars exemplify this.

After failing as Puerto Rican bullfighters, Primo and Epico were repackaged as ‘the shining stars of the Caribbean’. At first thought, one could’ve dismissed them as stereotypical Puerto Rican wrestlers, but WWE went even further in the crazy direction by making them travel agents.
As a result, the Shining Stars have spent more time shilling dubious travel packages and gloating about Puerto Rico than they have wrestled. Nobody cares about their segments, and their matches are meaningless.
Gallows & Anderson deserve a nomination in this award for their abysmal performances involving ‘the Old Day’ and several other terrible segments that no one other than Vince McMahon found funny.
Both Darren Young and Titus O’Neil have endured disappointing gimmicks and little support from the audience, while the League of Nations was booked terribly from the get-go and were made to look like cannon fodder for Roman Reigns on every occasion.
