It's only Wednesday, but it feels like the weekend should have been here two days ago. You have a full plate ahead, lots of work left to do, classes at Southington High School or college to sit through or are just plain in need of a break. We have you covered.

For fans of professional wrestling - or sports entertainment depending on how you look at it - the biggest event of the year is right around the corner: Wrestlemania XXVIII. As the WWE and its millions of followers look to the best of the best, I think it's also a great time to look at the worst of the worst.

There is no doubt in anyone's mind that wrestling provides some entertaining moments and has produced some of the world's most popular celebrities, including Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Andre the Giant and more.

They've even found success in unlikely cartoon characters with recent superstars including Santino Marella and his "cobra" providing excellent comic relief and "Long Island Iced-Z" Zach Ryder helping make the WWE the top trend weekly on Twitter.

But for every great moment, there are moments that really leave you scratching your head and wondering, "what were they thinking?"

Today we take a look at some of the worst wrestling gimmicks of all time. Is your favorite epic fail on the list? Take a look:

7. Disco Inferno (Glenn Gilbertti): What happens when you take every “guido” stereotype you can think of, throw in a little late 1990s colorful wrestling backdrop, a disco ball and splash The Trammps 1976 hit “Disco Inferno” on top of it? One of the worst wrestling gimmicks of all time.

This guy not only stayed around for several years in the late 1990s, but he was actually given title matches and allowed to main event televised shows for the WCW on occasion. He was part of the NwO movement and billed as a solid wrestler. Why did the WCW eventually go under and sell to WWE? You tell me.

6. The Rock V.S. John Cena at Wrestlemania XXVIII: I know, I know. All the fans out there are thinking, “How could you even remotely consider this an epic fail? The match hasn’t even taken place yet.”

Well my friends, that’s the point. The match, the headlining match at the grandest stage of WWE entertainment, has been a full year in the making. They announced it on April 1, 2011, after two of the most popular superstars ever had a confrontation at Wrestlemania XXVII.

Fast-forward 46 weeks. The Rock has been in the ring to wrestle just once, teaming up with Cena at that, and we are still waiting for this match up to actually happen. I don’t know about you, but I lost interest in this whole “feud” about 34 weeks ago.

5. Gold Dust’s Entrance Video: OK, the character was definitely a new one. Embracing his homosexual side and occasionally dominating in his match-ups was a unique build. But the video they had him entering to? It is just, umm, weird. Creepy. Unnecessary.

Top that off with the development of a finisher called “Shattered Dreams” in which he kicks another male in the private parts? Fail. Next.

4. The Maestro: Mozart wrestling? On national television? I’d love to expand on this for you but the truth is, I just changed the channel.

3. The Iron Sheik (Hossein Khosrow Vaziri): “Iran Number One! Iran Number One!” This was a gimmick that lasted far longer than it ever should have, with the Iron Sheik coming out every week waving the Iranian flag not long after historical events created anger and malice between the United States and Iran on a real-life, political level.

And he came back. And he came back again. And we stopped laughing after a while and wondered, what is wrong with these writers?

2. Battle Kat (Dean Peters): The concept started as a decent one, taking on an intimidating name that was once the warrior sidekick to the 80’s cartoon hero He-man – but then something went horribly wrong.

They replaced the “C” with a “K” and decided that the costume should be a wrestling version of Richard Simmons’ multi-colored spandex paired with a “mask” that was both bulky and designed like an old-school version of “Hello Kitty.” To quote one of today’s superstars, The Miz, “I mean, really? REALLY???”

1. The “Death” of WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon: OK, admittedly this was a skit that was really, really well put together. It had everything, emotional exit, last hoorah moments and a massive, undeniably movie-like explosion.

So why, you ask, is this number one? It’s simple: anytime you broadcast your death by explosion on national television and fail to notify the local authorities in advance, you have truly failed.

On June 11, 2007, McMahon was “presumed dead” after a well-designed plot line led to fans watching his limo explode on the big screen and saw the remains of the limo burning in the parking lot. The “news” was almost instantly announced as the main feature on WWE.com. and led thousands of people to call the local police, claiming they just witnessed his death. So you know, officers responded but no police report was ever filed.

The video was pulled from YouTube instantly and there are some arguments against calling this a “bad moment” including a huge ratings spike. At the same time, it also led to the chairman of the organization standing in front of a crowd on national television two weeks later following the untimely, real-life death of Chris Benoit and openly admit that the WWE was fake. Not exactly a way to sell this “real” action.
