RECAST | Gimmicks played by Multiple Wrestlers!
Recasting is a thing which sometimes has to take place in the world of film. And this has been evident in the likes of Mark Ruffalo taking Edward Norton’s place as The Hulk in the MCU, Michael Gambon picking up the role of Dumbledore in Harry Potter, or James Bond changing his face every ten years or so. Obviously then, it should come as little surprise that wrestling is the same in this respect as on multiple occasions gimmicks have had to be portrayed by two or more people. But what are the biggest examples of this in wrestling history? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to be looking at today.

I got a few ideas for your next videos, future Hall of famers like the Miz, Chris Jericho, and Daniel Bryan. The other is wrestlers who were great at playing the face and heel like Edge, the undertaker, Daniel Bryan, and HHH

@berranari1 7 ай бұрын

Nearly every wrestler plays the face and the heel. Only a few like Steamboat and Sammartino were full time good guys. Even Piper was a face at one time. Someone like Greg the Hammer Valentine is interesting because he was almost always a heel. Snuka was a heel that was turned face because of the positive response he was getting from the audience. Hogan was a heel.

@berranari1 7 ай бұрын

HHH started as a heel, Daniel Bryan started as a face. 90% of wrestlers do both. Even Rey Mysterio was a heel at one point in WCW. HBK had the best heel turn.

Blue Blazer was played by multiple guys too. Obviously Owen Hart was the main one but Jeff Jarrett did it a few times as well as Koko B. Ware. There was at least one more guy as the Blazer, Owen Hart, and Jeff Jarrett all appeared together on an episode of Raw and it obviously wasnt Koko B. Ware this time either. I believe if Owen Hart didn't die in that outfit that this could have been one of those recurring gimmicks like Doink or Los Conquistadores.

@kurtvanderbogarde8402 7 ай бұрын

Owen was scheduled to win that IC belt. Blazers who were clearly Koko and Jarrett were just a short term decoy after Owen claimed he had left the business. By the time of Owen's death, the gimmick had turned a corner and was about to be portrayed as a comedy heel fallible "superhero".

@kurtvanderbogarde8402 7 ай бұрын

@@mwchesser A common problem with both ex Blade Runners' 1990-1991 World title reigns was a lack of credibly built up challengers. In Warrior's case he should have been given Earthquake, the only hot WWF heel at the time, fresh from having "injured" Hogan, instead of the capable but stone cold Rick >Rude, fresh from humiliation by Roddy Piper. In Sting's case he needed a longer run of return matches with Flair, something like what Hogan got in 1994. Even so, Sting would have been a better champ than Flair in 1991, with Flair's weak flukey looking title win off the back of humiliation at Starrcade 90. Sting would certainly have made a more believable American hero against Tatsumi Fujinami and he could have lost to Lex at GAB '91 when Harley Race and Mr Hughes interfered to help Luger turn heel and win the title at the end of a babyface match.

“Razor & Diesel” in the WWE were the start of Jim Ross’ heel character that didn’t happen but in USWA was the beginning of the “Mr McMahon” character and sadly was a well thought out storyline and feud that few got to see outside of Memphis where “Razor” was being forced against his will to play the character and Diesel was a lackey for McMahon in charge of enforcing McMahons characters on him.

That angle has been used as proof that Montreal was a work...not quite but Vince was planning on being a heel character bret just sped it up Also yes kane as desiel worked better esp since he was actually more skilled than Nash if they did him alone he'd still be midcard but it may have worked better That said Kane was awesome
