Maybe I’m misreading the title, but doesn’t the title imply that they were doing a countdown of great gimmicks that was stolen/reused. Not great gimmicks that were stolen/reused by others? Because the latter is a bit of pointless list. Gimmicks are reused all the time so great ones are going to be reused all the time.

Except Glen Jacobs is actually quite intelligent. Just because you don't like his political views, doesn't mean he's "stupid." Kind of shows how low brow you actually are.

As far as I can tell, QTV isn't so much a parody of Dave Meltzer as it is a parody of TMZ. Although I do vaguely remember some kind of Meltzer reference being made at some point.
I thought you this was going to be iconic wrestlers who stole their gimmicks from someone who went before based on the title. Still interesting though.
I always looked at Carlito as an updated Razor Ramon because his pre debut videos were pretty similar. Also, Val Venis in a way was an updated Rick Rude.
Macho Warrior Ric Hogan is so hilarious, it's like as if Macho Man Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior did a DBZ style fusion dance to fuse into one, and did it again with Hulk Hogan to add to that monstrosity of a gimmick and sprinkle a little pinch of Ric Flair's promos. And on top of that, He would have the Randy Savage Elbow Drop as the finisher, Warrior Splash and the Hogan Boot/Leg Drop combo as the Signature, and the Figure 4 LegLock as the Submission maneuver. That's literally what it was, bruh. I'm done. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There was(could still be) a Indy wrestler here in Pennsylvania(US) who calls himself “Grave Digger” …Undertaker ripoff to the max boxing gloves,music,trench coat,hat,pleather pants & black singlet
Both The Godfather and Duke "The Dumpster" Drosey were actually stolen gimmicks. In the Pacific Northwest area of the US and Canada there's a local indie wrestler named Randy Taylor. He's something of a big fish in a small pond. He's worked in both the WWF and Jim Crockett Promotions as enhancement talent, but as is often the case he found the most success on the independent scene. In the early 1990's Randy was wrestling as The Garbage Man, where he wore a set of coveralls into the ring and carried a metal trash can with him. The gimmick was really getting over with the fans. Recruiters from the WWF heard about his success as The Garbage Man and offered him a contract. At this point in his career, Randy was happier being an indie star on weekends and working a day job during the week than he'd be working for the WWF, so he turned them down. So the WWF took the wrestling garbage man gimmick and gave it to Duke Drosey. Sometime later, Randy Taylor dumped the Garbage Man gimmick and started wrestling as Randy "The Pimp" Taylor. He'd wear brightly coloured animal print tights, a feathered fedora, sunglasses, and carry a cane to the ring. Early in the gimmick, his wife (a former exotic dancer) would accompany him to the ring as his "lady of the night". Once more, the WWF got wind of his new gimmick. And once more, their recruiters offered him a contract. But Randy still wasn't interested, and so they turned around and gave the gimmick to Kama Mustafa, renaming him The Godfather.
Yet again, I try a WC video - yet again, I'm either bait & switched or suckered in to a horribly written title. Back to ignoring all of your videos that don't include Simon Miller for the next 6 months.

EXAXTLY.. I hate Liberals, and people outside the country who for some reason have a bias against people who are from here that are on a political side that has nothing to do with them. And when they have Orange Man Bad syndrome without even living in this country its insane.
Kane has the right to believe anything he wants. This is a free country. Of course this channel is from the England region so they don't know about a free country.
This is why WWE has to aim to get younger fans because us people over a certain age has already seen every possible gimmick already. At 42 years old my generation never knew Ric stole his gimmick from a guy named Buddy Roger. My age group never saw Buddy Rogers wrestle.
WCW Era of Kid Romeo was a blatant Rock ripoff. Sadly, he seemed like he could've really made it if he went to WWE and were given some focus and direction.
Are u fuckin kidding me lmao wrestling fans need zero reason to berate people they don't even know let alone valid reasons like trying to strip abortion rights
I know they were not stolen, but I remember the WWF/WWE had kids dressing as John Cena and the Undertaker. ( I do not remember what the kids real names were. It might be on the internet.)
Their not even trying to be subtle anymore in their hate for Kane because of his views, Also way to shit all over Kronik too who were one of WCW's over tag teams, people always blame them for that match but it was also on Taker and Kane. Those guys got the boot unfairly because they were WCW boys that didn't know the WWE style.
Wrestling is full of stolen gimmicks. The Renegade was a ripoff of the Ultimate Warrior. Demolition and the Powers of Pain were Road Warrior ripoffs. The Rock and Roll RPMs and the (Midnight) Rockers ripped off the Rock n Roll Express. And that's just scratching the surface.
Didn't Hulk Hogan basically steal Superstar Billy Graham's gimmick?
Pretty much. Of course in the territory does it wasn't much of a problem like stealing a gimmick would be today.
No Hulk Hogan ripped off some guy named Thunder lips
Yup and poorly
Superstar Billy Graham didn’t work for me brother. Let’s change it to Hollywood brother
So did Scott Steiner and Jesse Ventura…

You are spot on, they know what they're doing...
Yeah the title should have said "that were stolen"
Im only 3 in and this is not what I expected
Based on the title of the video and the thumbnail, I assumed the video would be about how the Undertaker gimmick was stolen from another wrestler.
Yeah there's 2 ways of reading the title. The one they('re gonna say) they meant, and the one everyone reads it as.
Rerecord the Kane part, that was stupid. This is why people only watch this channel for Simon Miller.
Then what are you doing here snowflake? 🤷♂️🫵🤣🤣
You say as you literally watched something not Simon.

That’s way too much Meltzer praise.
You mention Razor Ramon HG, but make no mention of the infamous Razor Revolution? Kevin Steen/Owens mentions him in a shoot, he was sooooo bad.
QTV is literally TMZ ???
And Dave Meltzer ripped off the gimmick of being a legitimate journalist.

Hey WhatCulture, if Kane is as stupid as you say he is. How is he on his 2nd term as mayor of Knox County? 🤔
The Undertaker gimmick was, in fact, a ripoff of G.L.O.W. wrestler "The Widow Woman in Black". Matches can be found on Tubi and UA-cam.
Pretty sure the undertaker gimmick was a rip off of. . . An old west undertaker.
Wrong..STSA ripped off Sandman way more than Horace
British man hates Kane for getting elected 😂
You forgot Baron Corbin stole DDP’s down on his luck gimmick and also The Rock stole DDP designer shirt wearing while doing promos gimmick as well
I don’t think DDP invited wearing design shirts nor was it a gimmick
I actually didn't know Corbin did that
How would anybody not know some of these were stolen? Why does Sidgwick have a job? His scripts are the worst.
I haven’t watched the video yet. But by reading the title immediately thought of The Fiend copying Su Yung’s entire gimmick
"Hornets can sting, but they're still just crap wasps." This was the funniest comment in the video that I ever heard.
Gimmicks You Didn't Know Were STOLEN - Blue Kane. Wow! Really. I never would have guessed.
I love how he kept saying the rock JR when it’s obviously the rock Junior 😭
It’s not a catchphrase but I really loved the 5 second pose
Same
For the benefit of those with flash photography. That was the phrase that kinda went with it
Cody Rhodes as Homelander and Toni Storm as Marilyn Monroe.
Makes as much sense as "gimmick thefts" as most of these...
Oh no. Kane is republican! Now we must hate him.
Im guessing someone who doesnt agree with kanes political views wrote this script, damn dude. Tell us how you really feel.
My cousin always tells me about the time he saw Sting and Goldberg at our local leisure centre 😂
Road dogg is funny n cool u know nothing about that nerd
When you mentioned Sting I thought you were gonna say how he and Ultimate Warrior both were originally Road Warrior knockoffs as a tag team
I thought you this was going to be iconic wrestlers who stole their gimmicks from someone who went before based on the title. Still interesting though.
Same. Pretty disappointing but an OK video nonetheless
When Mike Mizanin was on The Real World, The Miz original gimmick was a ripoff of The Rock
My favorite catchphrase is rest in peace
The Rock JR isn't the first to ape The Rock's schtick. He was beaten to the punch by WEW's The Smoke a decade earlier.
This channel used to be better before it started to feel obligated to inject politics into its videos.
WhatCulture turned into WokeCulture. The only one I can stomach is Simon Miller.
Well, and maybe the ginger. He's ok too.
Every gimmick after gorgeous George and Billy Graham were stolen. There are no such things as originals anymore. That’s life.
when you said Sting, I thought you were going to mention AAA's Chessman ripping off Wolfpac Sting's make up
I always looked at Carlito as an updated Razor Ramon because his pre debut videos were pretty similar.
Also, Val Venis in a way was an updated Rick Rude.
When these guys say Kane is stupid are they talking about the character or the man just cause soft soy boys don't like his politics???
Unfortunately the latter, they have to even politicise their lists at whatculture
that is the main reason I barely watch these soy cucks anymore @@cocod7272
My favorite catch phrase? "Its hard to be humble when you are so great" - Larry Zbysko.
Road Dogg is my all time favorite wrestler. I have indeed paid money just to see him.

Grave Digger was a USWA ripoff of the Undertaker in the early 90s, not long after Undertaker got big.
I agree with the comments regarding Kane. FFS I watch these videos for wrestling banter not political views thank you
when did Meltzer became iconic gimmick. ...Whatculture videos are down the toilet nowadays
juan arias didn't debut his tutumba el enterrador gimmick until 1993 when he was with lucha mundial. the wwe undertaker gimmick debuted in 1990...
Rock got the People's Elbow from the Great Muta with the Power Drive Elbow....
Can someone humor me and tell me why everyone at Whatculture Wrestling hates can so much nowadays. What am I missing?
You're not allowed to have Conservative values because libtards like whatculture don't accept different opinions than theres

The Miz was originally a parody of The Rock. He didn't use the gimmick in WWE, but the name stuck, I guess.
The rock Jr looks like lo ki, he took a double clothesline and never recovered lmao
