STOP EXPOSING THE BIDNESS!!!!

RVD is literally, literally, just Jean Claude Van Damme but as a wrestler. It’s almost hilarious how wrestling has appropriated pop culture. It sucks that no one in WWE understands the current cultural zeitgeist other than maybe Daniel Bryan with his eco-terrorist boomer hating gimmick
Owen Turner
Its not a gimmick he really is stupid
Julian Clark
*based
Hunter Bennett
I remember seeing this guy in a 1970s Bruno Sammartino documentary on Youtube. Not a ding-dong diddly clue who he is but you can't get any more blatant than this.
Jace Murphy
I'm lost. this guy is suppsoed to be a ripoff of...Hooded Justice? Watchmen hadn't even been written yet
Adrian Richardson

He's a complete ripoff of The Batman after looking it up. The documentary is this one: youtu.be
Owen White
Xavier Jones
Hmm...can’t put my finger on it
Noah Bailey
Robert Morgan
no no that is mean max on the left
Josiah Reed
Liam Powell
I forget the names but a few wrestlers ripped off Liberace for sure.
Brayden Morales
Jonathan Smith
Carmella basically ripped off Jersey Shore. Enzo was hinting that Liv Morgan was more deserving of the Jersey Shore gimmick, though Carmella has had a good run with it.
Joseph Fisher
well that's not ripping off something in specific, just a general douchebag culture in existence at the moment
Ayden Stewart
Jace Smith
Kevin Robinson
AJPW had dudes dress up as droids shortly after StarWars came out, Even in Japan pro wrestling was cashing in on english pop culture/movies, this shit is nothing new.
Charles Williams
All Japanetty was always the shitty little league to New Japan's greatness.
Xavier Allen
This. The most successful example is Kane. He was based off of Michael Myers. Chainsaw Charlie was inspired by Leatherface. There were a few wrestlers in Japan that were literally "Leatherface." Freddy Krueger, too, I think.
Charles Turner
Yep, they had a Jason to. I think that was IWG or whatever sleazy promotion Victor Quiones was head of.
Ryan Wilson
okay but that doesn't have anything to do with the thread so feel free to be a puro autist elsewhere
Charles Reed
Luna did not age well
Jaxon Richardson
DIMES DIMES DIMES DIMES
Jayden Williams
Also ripped off the lost boys with the clothing and all that stuff.
Brayden Morris
Kane is not really much of a Mike Myers ripoff. I mean he's kind of a generic slasher, but then again we never see him actually handle a blade.
Jacob Perry
JUST WALK AWAY
Jackson Peterson
damn I really like this one
Luke Reyes
The undertaker was more Michael Myers. Kane was always too emotional and expressive to be compared to Michael or Jason
