20. Manik

Manik was a persona based on the very popular Suicide gimmick. However, it never got as popular as the original. T.J. Perkins, the man behind Manik, started his career under the character and worked in both Mexico and Japan before gaining popularity in the US. Although he proved to be a very good wrestler, fans just didn’t like the mask. Many thought it looked silly and was just unoriginal, so Perkins decided to take it off. He had to do a campaign on Twitter and with the help of his followers, he was allowed to continue as himself and leave Manik behind for good.
