6. Goldust
This is honestly one of the most bizarre gimmicks of all time. Yet, Goldust has stuck around in the WWE and the rest of the wrestling scene for quite some time. He first debuted in the WWF back in 1995, and made several WWE returns throughout the years. He’s continued to wrestle in the league up to this day, even pairing up with his half-brother Cody Rhodes at certain times.
His gimmick itself is rather hard to explain. Perhaps it is best described as one that revolves around being strange while painted in all gold and black. It’s a bizarre act that pushed the style and craft of character creation in professional wrestling before even the famous Attitude Era took off. He’s managed quite the successful career as well, and nearly any wrestling fan worth their salt knows his name.
