Worst WWE Gimmicks of all-time: 5 Worst gimmicks from the New Generation Era

4: Max Moon

Max Moon was a gigantic failure

Although Max Moon technically debuted a few months before the New Generation Era began, he’s included in this list because most of his short WWE career was during the New Generation years.

Showing up in a WWE ring for the first time at the fag end of 1992, he was billed as being from outer space (yes, really) and came to the ring in an elaborate blue bodysuit with markings meant to look like circuit boards. Rumour has it that Konnan was originally meant to be Max Moon but he left WWE after a disagreement and Paul Diamond was chosen for the part instead. What qualified Paul Diamond to be Max Moon? He fit into the body suit.

Moon’s elaborate costume had a wrist device that shot out fireworks and a “jetpack” and overall he looked like he’d jumped out of a cartoon. His in-ring work wasn’t good to go along with the terrible gimmick and Moon had terrible matches with just about everyone he stepped in the ring with before leaving the WWE less than a year later.

His most famous moment came during the first ever episode of Monday Night Raw when he unsuccessfully challenged Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship.
