Gimmick v Gimmick

I just wanted to see which people preferred which gimmick or character of the same wrestler. I will list them below and you just reply with which one you preferred (and why if you want). You can also post your own if I miss any. Anyway here goes:

Kevin Nash or Diesel

X Pac or 123 Kid

Triple H or Hunter Hearst Helmsley

The Rock or Rocky Mavia

Rikishi or The Sultan

Scott Hall or Razor Ramon

The Undertaker (phenom) or The Undertaker (American bad ass)

Bradshaw or JBL

Cody Rhodes (dashing) or Cody Rhodes (deranged)

K Kwik or R Truth

I know some of these will be obvious, but pick em anyway!

Nash
XPac
Triple H
The Rock
Rikishi
Razor Ramon
American bad Ass
JBL
Deranged
Truth.

Cool. I pretty much agree with all of them except 2. I have always preferred the phenom (although the bad ass was still cool!!), and - this one will probably shock people - I actually prefer Bradshaw to JBL. He looked a lot tougher then and I always liked the APA.

I just dislike the lack of dimension the Phenom has. The American Bad Ass was a great gimmick and allowed Taker alot more freedom on the stick.

Kevin Nash
X Pac
Triple H
The Rock
Rikishi
Scott Hall
The Undertaker (phenom)
JBL
Cody Rhodes (deranged)
R Truth

Anything with a shelf life of 20 years & counting could hardly be described as 'lacking dimension'.... It's the greatest gimmick in the history of professional wrestling

Razor Ramon all day long baby!

The Immortal Hulk Hogan or Hollywood Hogan

Which is why its went through so many different incarnations. I just thought the American Bad Ass gimmick was the more entertaining gimmick.

And if "Lights go out, gong sounds, purple light, slow ominous entrance" with some slight tweaks doesnt get old to you after 20 years then well played, you're a better man than I am.

I preferred The Undertaker's Lord of Darkness schtick he done from 97-99

Mankind (Deranged) or Mankind (Loveable)
Al Snow or Leif Cassidy
Mabel or Viscera
Billy Gunn (Smoking Gunns) or Bad Ass Billy Gunn

I would say the Immortal Hulk Hogan was better than Hollywood, I was never a huge Hogan fan but from 85-88 could really buy into the ideals of his character

Mankind over Dude Love, Cactus Jack and Mick Foley
Mankind (Deranged) over Mankind (Loveable)
Al Snow
Viscera (Ministry) over Mabel, Viscera (Love machine) and Big Daddy V
Bad Ass Billy Gunn
Road Dogg
Shockmaster

Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack or Mick Foley - Cactus Jack
Mankind (Deranged) or Mankind (Loveable) - Deranged
Al Snow or Leif Cassidy - Leif Cassidy only because Marty Jannetty is a personal favourite of mine
Mabel or Viscera - Viscera
Billy Gunn (Smoking Gunns) or Bad Ass Billy Gunn - Bad Ass Billy Gunn
The Roadie or Road Dogg - Road Dogg
Typhoon or Shockmaster - I am amazed that you would even ask this question! "YEAH! THE SHOCKMASTER!....................oh God"

Y2D2 or Y2D2? Y2D2!

I knew the Typhoon vs Shockmaster wouldn't be a tough choice!

"He's fallen flat on his f***ing a***"

Y2J or Lionheart Chris Jericho?
Hustle, Loyalty, Respect or Rapper Cena?
The Ringmaster or Stone Cold Steve Austin?

Lionheart
Rapper - You can't beat a good rapping wreslter
