Who has lived their gimmick the most?

[GSPSAKU]

Flair and Hogan are close but I think Flair edges this out although Hogan still wearing a bandana everywhere makes a legit case.

Flair lives that styling and profiling lifestyle, wears fancy expensive clothes, and is all about the ladies as proven by all his misconducts and numerous marriages. He's divorcing his 4th wife and is now shacking it up with that hired maid he had on his old segment, a Flair For the Gold. Dude is literally broke but spending like it's never ending.

There's only one answer..woooo!

 

[oddballposter]

Hogan the movie.

There will be a movie.

 

[My Spot]

Kevin Sullivan.

 

[spid3yo]

I don't see how Hogan fits, the whole say your prayers and eat your vitamins is nothing at all like the real man.

 

[J Danger]

Macho man was even macho man on space ghost

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Big Poppa Pump, easily.

 

[oddballposter]

Except both Piper and Inoki are in gimmick, whereas Lemmy is just a piece of shit that spit on you. That's not punk, man. That's something an elitist douche would do to you.

Or he could have spit right back in Lemmy's face and seen what happens next.
Bet Lemmy would have had a fit.

 

[44nutman]

Flair is the only answer.
He still parties all the time. Hell he has done his podcast drunk.

 

[The Diplomat]

Between those two, I guess I'd say Flair. Because his life is kind of like his wrestling career and matches. He's lived the high styling, limousine riding lifestyle, he was won a lot in life and had great times - but he's also lost a lot, put people over and taken a beating but won't give up.

Hogan wishes he could live his gimmick, because then he'd be winning every situation he's been in.

 

[Tooth and Nail]

John Cena.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

New Jack deserves to be mentioned. Guy never gave one fuck in his career.

This Is a very true statement

 

[Prime Ang]

Yea, too much real stuff has come out about his life for him to be anything like the gimmick he still tries to portray.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Meng

 

[Teefs]

Scott Steiner.

 

[Thrawn33]

Meng

Funny thing about him was that until I heard about how much of a legit badass he was I assumed he was just another midcard jobber.

Then I read about how everyone was terrified of him IRL.

I love how when anyone got out of line back stage, the go to response was "I'm going to get Meng" and people knocked off the shenanigans right away.


Also, the story of how the cops tried to arrest him, he let them cuff him and then pepper spray him. To which he smiled, and then snapped the cuffs in front of the cops.

 

[Krav McGraw]

Flair is the correct answer.

"The only two people Andre the Giant feared were Meng and Harley Face"

 

[Prime LeVan]

Bret Hart and Vince McMahon deserve mentions

 

[My Spot]

Even Nash was scared of Meng in WCW.

Bret Hart.

It all started here on Sherdog. I posted the original collection of quotes from various wrestlers about Meng/Haku here back in 07 and it has since flooded the web.

Dude is a legit badass. In the history of pro wrestling where there are fake tough guys, big guys who look scary, and a bunch of real tough guys, 99% of the wrestlers who wrestled during the time Meng wrestled (80s-00s) all say he is THE guy you don't fuck with. It's pretty much unanimous and arguably the only thing in wrestling where all the wrestlers will give you a unanimous answer

 

[Egnuldt]

Honorable mention goes to The Honky Tonk Man. He still has that same hair style

I'll admit it, your work was what informed me and the basis for my earlier posts.

 

[El Moose]

Has to be Flair

 

[El Moose]

Bischoff says he's still kicking himself for not letting DX in the building when they "invaded" Nitro but imagine if instead of closing the door they just sent Meng out there

Alrighty... Seeing as yourr the man with the knowledge, how do you think a prime Haku would do if you dropped him in the HW division today... Let's say against Meathead... Mitrone via DQ?

 

[El Che]

Psycho Sid Vicious I really don't think it was a gimmick to him, he's seriously a lunatic.

I'd bet on the white guy.

 

[Bet Me]

Wow you wrestling fans don't know much.

The Macho Man stayed in character 24/7

Stealing this for the "What if" thread....

 

[SoCalprodigy09]

John Cena.

Even Supercena's at beer pong. Fuckin legend

Under UFC rules, I'll take Meathead or unretired Schaub or Lavar Johnson. He's doesn't have the know how to compete under the unified MMA rules.

Now if he were to fight them on the street (no weapons), I'll take Haku.

 

[Abysmal]

This. Almost every wrestler who knows him says Flair lived the gimmick 24/7. A lot of stories out there about it too that are pretty hilarious because of how obnoxious he can be with it.

Lol, Hunter and Shawn would literally crap their pants.:icon_lol:

If they filmed the shoot of them backing off from Meng (or get slaughtered), imagine Schiavone (after the altercation) saying "WCW is indeed the place where the BIG BOYS play!".

This is what would've happen
