Rather than watch Flavor Flav host RAW, I would much rather:
- listen to old Public Enemy albums
- watch some of the WWF wrestling from the mid 90s with the horrible gimmicks, like Thurman "Sparky" Plug and Isaac Yankem, the Evil Dentist.
- dance the Macarena: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN62PAKoBfE
- try to figure how much caffeine the Ultimate Warrior had in this promo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXUVCq-qzOM&feature...
- look up videos on youtube for this answer to this question
- listen to Meatloaf sing to Randy Orton (wow that was horrible)
- wonder why somebody has yellow skin
-creep out a certain somebody on Xat.
jk... :P....emmmm, maybe...
WQ: It can, but a lot of times, if the wrestler has the talent, they can overcome this. For example, Stonecold Steve Austin and his Ringmaster gimmick, Kane and his Isaac Yankem Evil Dentist gimmick, Triple H and his blueblood gimmick...there have been many that get a bad gimmick but still are able to come out as top wrestlers.
A lot of times, especially when it comes to WWE, a wrestler gets a bad gimmick, but goes elsewhere to another wrestling company and has success. For example Aldo Montoya, the Portuguese Man O War in the WWF in the mid 90s...a bad gimmick with a horrible looking mask resembling a jock strap. He goes to ECW and becomes Justin Credible, and has a good run in ECW.
So though it can ruin a career, a lot of times it doesn't. There are some like Santino, that is from what I've heard a pretty good wrestler, who's now stuck with his gimmick...but at least is being somewhat successful by being comedy relief on WWE...though he won't get far as far as titles and main eventing is concerned. Some guys get stuck with a gimmick, and it literally gets stuck on them.
But most of the time, if the wrestler didn't have much talent, or charisma or any of the other things that help get a wrestler over in WWE, he won't get anywhere after a bad gimmick, because he wasn't getting anywhere anyway. But if you have the talent and the charisma..etc...the talent will rise to the top, bad gimmick at the start of their career or not.
A bad gimmick doesn't ruin a wrestler's career, it's usually that they lack something that helps get them over that ruins a wrestler's career. If you're relying mostly on talent anyway, and don't have much personality...WWE most of the time isn't the place for that wrestler anyway, there are other companies like ROH for that. Even TNA likes having a number of wrestlers with talent.

Some thing I'd rather do besides watching Flava Flav on Raw? Well, I'd rather...
slide down a 50 foot razor blade into a vat of alcohol
suck all the snot out of a dog's nose until its head caves in
have 15 nails hammered into my tongue
catch a cold after freezing my face in bowl of liquid nitrogen
Play with myself in front of my best friend
Be handcuffed to a bed in the middle of a highway
Go to a Justin Bieber concert
and WQ: Yes, an unappealing gimmick can destroy a wrestler's career before it even starts. Some examples? Guys like Slam Master J, Kungfunaki, festus, Zack Ryder, Jimmy Wang Yang, and so many more. If the people can't get behind someone, they they won't get pushed. For example, I can't care for Jesse, or Kung funaki, because usually crappy gimmick wrestlers are so awful that their personalities are so boring and people can't connect to them. In fact, one of the most amazing things is that the Undertaker survived with his gimmick. Think about it. His gimmick was awful, and somehow, fans began to love him, and now he's the most sucessful guy in the biz. Another thing is that festus, was never meant to be sucessful, but now with his major character change, he has a better chance.

I'd rather try to make sense of the random heel turns on Impact.
WQ- Yes. Do you see Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore anywhere? Sure he was sort of over for a bit, but that wasn't a gimmick that was going anywhere and now he's a minor player in the indies.

Masturbate to a Melina video on YouTube
WQ: Yes. Terry Taylor was a fantastic wrestler in the UWF and NWA. When he finally got his shot in the WWF, Vince, in an attempt to embarass a wrestler from a rival promotion, gave him the Red Rooster gimmick, where his gimmick was a guy who thought he was a rooster. It was awful and killed his career, and despite him dropping the gimmick and having other stints in WCW and again the WWF in 1992, he was never able to shake the Rooster image no matter what he did

What is with all the poutine bashing? Damn Americans don't know how to eat :).
Well, something I'd rather do than watch Flavour Flav on Raw is go through another book of baby names because we all know how truly fun that is. Kris, tell your cousin that our child will be named after Apu from The Simpsons (Boy or girl) and this is final. I'd tell her myself but I'm afraid of her lol.
WQ- KIZARNY enough said.

Decisions I would Make..... Reinstate The Miz Have 9 Matches instead of 7 matches Use The Jobbers as well as the Mid-Carders and Main-Eventers. Matches I would Make........ John Cena Vs. Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Mickie James Vs. Gail Kim for The Diva's championship. Jack Swagger Vs. Carlito Jamie Noble Vs. Festus Randy Orton Vs. MVP Kofi Kingston Vs. Primo Beth Phoenix Vs. Maryse Santino Marella Vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. Triple H Vs. Evan Bourne. Matches I Would Announce For Summer-slam...... Kofi Kingston Vs. Chris Masters Vs. Evan Bourne for The US championship. Jack Swagger Vs. MVP in an Extreme rules Match WQ: John Morrison, his voice is more clear, Swagger lisps a Few words though If he gets over the lisping, he would have great mic skills but At the moment, John Morrison has the better Mic Skills.

Have a conversaion with my ex girlfriend.(she's reeeeealy annoying!)
wq:I think that a gimmick can make or break your career before it starts.An exmaple of this would be Kizarny.If you don't remember he had a gimmick where he was a karny and he added iz into every word."Mizy nizame iz kizarny!"Ive never seen him wrestle but he might have made it longer if he had the proper gimmick!He was featured in WWE magazine as "Blink and You Missed It."

Edit: How about this? I would rather hide in a bedroom closet with a certain somebody, while her mother and brother argue for hours in the bedroom. :)
WQ: Absolutely! Case and point: Kizarny. I don't think I need to say more. :/
Edit: LMFAO! That was brilliant Justin...
