WWE Needs a Token Evil Russian gimmick

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

Nikolai Volkoff got more heel heat in his sleep during his Soviet gimmick than anyone else during that time. It can work again since Russia and America are bitter enemies. No one likes the Russians, they are evil. So who can do it? It must be done.

 

I suggested Carl Oullet. He is a decent wrestler with tremendous agility for a fat man. I know he is French, but he can work on his Russian accent.

 

GGive suggestions, hussies.

The 1980's called, they want you back.

 

Russia is no longer a major threat, nor an enemy to the US.

 

An evil Russian wrestler wouldn't work in this day and age.

 

...unless it was a female wrestler who was pissed because she was looked over for Russian Gymnastics...

We are?

[Guest Korgath]

No one likes the Russians, they are evil.

Just like the French, right?

 

You know, it just occured to me that ANYWHERE ELSE in the world, the perfect heel gimmick would be Pro-USA. Simply amazing.

Sorta like Kurt Angle when he first came into the WWF?

 

Or Lex Luger's second WWF run (first was the Narcissist.)

Well, the French are.

 

I mean really, what legitimate purpose do they serve on earth?

 

They're evil in their space occupying ways and general uselessness.

Where is Tiger Ali Singh when you need him to fight the Jew Champion?

Bah, we don't need Singh for that role.

 

Iron Sheik would fill it MUCH better.

Not to mention Lafeyette (sp).

[Guest Trivia247]

well thats special...

 

say why not a English wrestler who is dressed as a red coat and a powdered wig who if he wins the World title will hand it over to the Queen of England...

 

Or those damn Heelish Native Americans come around and complain in their EVIL ways that we put a porto potty on their burial ground...

 

Or dem damn rebs are acting up again.... and its Civil War Wrestlemania! Southern Wrestlers vs Northern Wrestlers...the Carnage I tells ya!

 

don't forget the Mexican war.... or the Spanish American war (hmmm maybe no one knows about that one)

 

Rehire Brakkus and he can be the Muscle bound german sympathiser in their stance against the war of terror...

 

or How about Gail Kim retaking the Womens title and holding it hostage in North Korea.

 

Or or or how about some Vietnam Wrestlers...

 

actually.... you never quite see any Vietnamise anywhere near 200 pounds....they would have to be cruiserweights.

 

the point im trying to make here....

 

 

ITS A STUPID IDEA!!!

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Ah yes, the Patriot...the man Kurt Angle STOLE his theme from.

 

Seriously though...you think before his injury the WWF would have pushed the Patriot to become WWF Champion or no?

Evil doesn't necessarily mean wrong.

Did my thread get shut down by a bunch of nicumpoops here? I swear, the American's arrogance drives me crazy. And let me gaurentee you this, Russia will be a threat again to your precious country again. But let me say, that the Cold War was essentially finished and decided when Volkoff was drawing mad heat.

Until then, we can just watch James Bond movies and pretend that Russia is a threat to anyone.

No nation is fully chaste. France is a democracy, that automatically makes it better than all communist, theocratic, and fascist goverments. Besides the UN cockblocking and WWII, I fail to see how they're any more evil than other nations. The fact is, most people in France are normal citizens. Just because their goverment screwed us over is no reason to hate or judge them.

 

That wouldn't be very American of us.

Exactly. Just like how no one would dare terrorize American citizens on American soil. Always keep your guard up.

I think what is needed is an Arabic or Middle Eastern heel, I'm sure he could draw real heat from the crowd, but are there any good/decent wrestlers that are or can at least pass for Arabic?

I endorse Banky's idea. Even better than Volkoff was Nikita Koloff, because he had some great matches, and his singlet said CCCP, which is USSR in the Cyrillic alphabet. Now that's attention to detail.

 

I guess what you could do for 2004 in terms of Evil Russians is to just have a character of a Russian amateur wrestling champion who, unhappy with the lack of economic success after the hammer and sickle was lowered from the flagpole, and yearning for athleticism to be celebrated by the regime the way it was during the Cold War, becomes like a neo-Soviet guy, like a Russian Kurt Angle, with Prokofiev's old anthem and everything. I'd like it.

I have a guy called Ivan Stalinov on my No Mercy cartridge.

What's more American than holding a grudge?

And besides, I think their WWII fiasco is good for at least a 100 years or mocking.

Man, name a war France has won....I rest my case.

Individually or as part of a group that won (i.e. The Aliies)?

You're forgetting Napolean.

I've heard some real pissy people discount that because Napoleon eventually lost it all anyway.
