Super weird gimmick vs Super weird gimmick rarely works, especially as a way to "debut" a new gimmick.

Like when Mordecai debuted and feuded with the Taker. Or really any of the weird gimmicks they had Taker squash.

When you do this mythical vs mythical stuff, the loser basically is rendered useless. It also doesn't let one stand out as that weird because everyone involved is weird.
