I voted once for everybody. I wish everyone would collaborate to make sure all choices have the same amount of votes just to spite you for being so pushy.
I voted for Bray Wyatt because he's my personal favorite from that list, although objectively I guess he's not even in Mankind's league. Which is a shame, because if they gave him a real chance with some terrific booking, I bet Bray could truly be the best dark gimmicks ever, dude has insane charisma.
I always thought Taker was overrated for his "dark" gimmick. He just normally did all the cheesy, stereotypical stuff like wear eyeliner and all black.
I thought Raven was better and Pillman was a nut with Mankind second and old Kane a solid third place. I mean any man that puts jumper cables on balls gets my vote.
Dark- Undertaker. When Paul Bearer was holding the secret(Kane) over his head in 1997, and taunting him each week on RAW, it added such a sense of realness to the Undertaker... Somehow to me, that completed his character and made him even more spooky. He was already so dark, but the fact that something being held over his head, was rattling his nerves just took things up a level.
Psycho- Mankind. back in 1996 Mankind always made me believe that even though this was all "sports entertainment", that somehow he really did enjoy the pain his opponents dished onto him... along with the pain from punching his own leg and pulling his hair out.
It's between early Mankind and Ministry Undertaker. But I think early Mankind, especially when he feuded with Undertaker, was the epitome of dark, warped reality gimmicks.
