10 Grossest Wrestlers In WWE History
There are a lot of different types of gimmicks and characters in Sports Entertainment. From fantastical to realistic and all point in between, the better you can relate to a superstar or think they’re cool or despise them - the better they can get over with the crowd. While there have been plenty of relatable superstars, even some that are just plain gross - and even gross can get over.

Whether some of these came from the occupational gimmick heavy New Generation, where some of the more infamous gimmicks were disgusting or other eras in WWE history, there have been plenty of disgusting and gross gimmicks. It’s all just a matter of what level “green face” emoji gross these wrestlers are.
8 Snitsky
Kicking fake babies and sniffing disgusting, sweaty feet - it’s all in a days work for Snitsky. While there are plenty of folks out there who find feet utterly grotesque, there are also folks like Snitsky (re: Quentin Tarantino) who find toe jam rather intoxicating.
Snitsky would eventually get even more disgusting when he was repackaged with horrible teeth and weird scars on his face; acting like a raving madman.
7 Dr. Isaac Yankem
When Bret Hart defeated Jerry Lawler in a Kiss My Foot Match, he humiliated the king. In retaliation, he swore revenge on The Hitman in the form of his dentist - Dr. Isaac Yankem, DDS. The future Big Red Machine debuted here with some of the grossest and yellowest set of chompers ever seen.

That included all sorts of dark rotting spots throughout the bad doctor’s teeth. Thankfully, Dr. Isaac Yankem is not the gimmick that Glenn Jacobs is not remembered for.
6 TL Hopper
Most of us understand fully that plumbing is a respectable profession and one that plenty of us have either called upon or endeavored to be involved with.
But even long before TL Hopper debuted in WWE, there have been several stereotypes of the gross plumber with their pants constantly hanging low. TL Hopper was that kind of stereotypical plumber gimmick and even ate a piece of questionable material during a SummerSlam kickoff party.
5 The Bushwhackers
When you traverse the globe licking the faces of countless fans, you’re sort of nothing but disgusting. But that’s what Cousin Luke and Cousin Butch, The Bushwhackers did for their entire WWE career.
Things didn’t get any cleaner when they started palling around with Jameson - a stereotypical nerd with a perpetual runny nose. The cousins also had no decorum when it came to eating and made a huge mess during several vignettes over the years.
4 The Godwinns
Every so often in WWE, the company seems to have an infatuation with “backwoods farm” characters. From nice guys like Hillbilly Jim to the original incarnation of The Wyatt Family and all points in between. HOG (Henry O. Godwinn) and PIG (Phineas I. Godwinn) were certainly one of those points.
The two swine farmers consistently looked unkempt and unbathed and lest we discuss carrying around their giant slop buckets filled with all sorts of gross nonsense. Those buckets - as major ribs - would be filled up with all sorts of things that we probably shouldn’t speak of here - but Sunny could probably elaborate.
3 The Boogeyman
The guy ate live worms and dropped them down opponents’ gullets - if you don’t find that disgusting, then you’re The Boogeyman reading this. Or Mick Foley, who would eat live worms during his formative years to freak out the bullies.
But The Boogeyman was somehow able to turn his strange and gross gimmick into a fairly successful babyface run for a few years. He even (pun intended) wormed his way onto the WrestleMania 22 card where he was successful against Booker T and Queen Sharmell in less than five minutes.
2 Tommy Dreamer
Considering his adoration of The American Dream, when Tommy Dreamer became “just a regular guy,” there was a real chance to try and create a similar version of Dusty Rhodes' Common Man. After all, Tommy Dreamer is actually a regular guy.

But instead of attempting to push The Innovator Of Violence into the upper echelon, he became a comedy character instead. A gross comedy character - there was nothing that Tommy Dreamer wouldn’t ingest. He’d brush his teeth with the same brush used on his dog, eat hair off the floor of a barber shop and even drink The Deadman’s tobacco spit cup. Thankfully the bits didn’t last too long and Dreamer reverted to being the Innovator Of Violence.
1 Bastion Booger
A huge rotund man in garish dirty white strips of tights and missing some teeth. The image immediately evokes someone not fit for the conventional forms of attractiveness. But it’s doubtful that Bastion Booger would have cared about that anyway. Looking like a cross between a rejected Leeloo Dallas Fifth Element costume and a long-lost Bushwhacker cousin.
Just about every promo pic for the guy was him holding yummy greasy food (you know, the kinds of food that Vince McMahon would find gross). But the food was all over Booger, with crumbs falling out of his lack of teeth.
